Term 3: 

This term, we were able to have some of our lessons  outside of our classroom. In our math topic measurement, explored capacity and volume . Discussing the mean of the mathematical terms capacity and volume and  practised reading the volume of liquids. The children enjoyed the amazing outdoor facilities has they worked in teams,taking turns to pour and read the scales to tell the volume of liquid in the measuring cylinders and beakers.

Here  are some photos from a session:

In English this term, we have been reading and exploring traditional tales. The children learned that a 'traditional tale' is a folk tale or fairy story ,which has been passed down for many generations and is well known in a particular culture. We read and discussed the unfamili.ar language  and features of some well known traditional tales. We focused our writing on the traditional tale ,'Sleeping Beauty' written by the British author Sarah Gibbs. 

Here we are in  freeze frame positions while the annoyed, evil fairy presents her gifts to Princess Rosebud. 

In PE this term our focus has been movement through dancing. We discussed and all agree that dancing has lots of benefits including helping us with our coordination and flexibility. It also helps us to improve our balance, spatial awareness,confidence and relaxes our minds.
