This week we have been ‘Choosing Chimps’ choosing the right strategies in maths to apply to our problem solving.
We’ve also had lots of fun playing games to practise our phonics skills.
Category : Class 3
We have been geographers, sharing what we know about maps and working together to answer the question ‘What is Norton like?’
We explored Beegu’s thoughts and feelings. Everyone enjoyed wearing Beegu ears to help us get into character and think about what she might be saying throughout the story.
We have been getting active and learning a new space dance. It’s great for a quick ‘brain break’ and it’s so much fun!
This week we have been super scientists exploring materials and their properties and carrying out our own tests to investigate waterproof and absorbent materials.
We have been busy doing some brilliant Math’s work today.
Our core text this half term is Beegu by Alexis Deacon. We have worked hard and had fun predicting what the story might be about and describing Beegu the main character.

We have used our creative skills to collage Beegu, used construction to make her some new alien friends and made her some space buggies for when she goes back to her own planet.
Welcome back Class 3.
We’ve had a fantastic, busy and exciting first week back at school. On Tuesday we heard a ‘crash’ and a ‘bang’ and when we went outside to investigate we found there had been a crash landing on the playground!
We found evidence of aliens, they even left us some messages, but we think we might have been a bit too noisy for any to want to stick around!
We’re going to keep our eyes peeled for any more signs of friendly aliens.
