This week 3E have made good progress in Music as they learn to play the keyboard, using correct hand positions, timing and learning the keys.  

We have continued to read Street Child this week and have exploring how the characters act and feel.  DA gave some great answers to some really challenging questions and showed a great deal of empathy.    

MH, DA, RP attended a boy's football event on Wednesday.  They made us really proud with their attitude and sportsmanship throughout the session.  They won 2 of their matches.  Well done boys!

We have been learning about running a business and will let you know more about this next week.

Despite the really cold weather which has caused some disruption to our timetable, Class 3E had made a fantastic return following the Christmas break.  All pupils have demonstrated an amazing attitude towards learning and have worked hard throughout the week. 

 

As part of our English work, we are reading “Street Child” by Berlie Doherty.  The book is set during Victorian times, and the pupils have been fascinated to begin learning about life in Victorian England.  MH and RP have shown a love of history throughout our class discussions and were able to recall past learning about the workhouse and what it was like for children living there.   We will be visiting Beamish Museum later in the term to enhance our learning of this era and details of the visit will be sent to parents/carers shortly. 

 

We will also be visiting the Life Centre and the Laing Art Gallery this term to support our learning in science and art.  TLT has made some interesting insights into the work of LS Lowry when she imagined that she was a character in one of his paintings.  We are all looking forward to seeing some of his paintings when we visit the Laing Art Gallery.
