The Five W's

This morning during literacy we looked at an article:

Gigantic 'land art' tribute in Eye honours airmen of 490th Bomb Group.

We applied the five W's, which help us to understand writing: 

Where: a field near Eye

Why: to commemorate 70 years of the end of the Second World War and the death of 184 US airmen who lost their lives while while serving at Eye Airfield during the war.

When: Friday 30th October 2015

Who: Stefan Fulcher and Carlo Roberts

What: the shape of a Flying Fortress B 17 bomber plane

and

How: ploughing a field - but how did they make the shape so clearly and evenly?

We also looked at another article:

Can you use the five W's with this article as well?

The Digestive System

This term we have been investigating the human body - you might have seen our blog about teeth. Here are a few other things we've been looking at.

Here is our 3D display of the digestive system. Three of the parts have been labelled - can you link the other labels correctly to the parts of the body?

Here's something to help you!

Art Club

Mrs Andrew is very enthusiastic about art and runs Art Club every week. During this half term the club has been producing portraits in the style of Picasso. Here is an original...

and here is the children's work:

I think you'll agree that they're a very talented group!

Stone Age Art

This term we have been learning about the Stone Age. As part of this topic we have read 'Stig of the Dump' and have written stories about Stone Age adventures. We've also produced topic work at home and have worked hard to produce some wonderful art as you can see below...

Egg-periment!

Over the last few weeks in science we have been learning about teeth; how and why to care for them, what they are made of, the name of each type of tooth and its purpose. 

This week we concluding a very egg-celent enquiry into how much damage different liquids can do to our teeth. 

The results surprised many of us!

We had predicted the effects of fizzy drinks and water correctly but fruit juice, squash and milk were all very interesting. 

Some of us have concluded that we will try to drink more of one drink than another from now on! 

Visit from the Canon!

Canon Tony Billet came to visit Class 3 today for our Beliefs and Values lesson. 

We had lots of questions for him and he told us about the important times in people's lives that are celebrated in a church. 

He showed us what he wears for church services and we talked about the meaning behind the objects and rituals at the church. 

We are now ready to put together our illustrated visitors' guide to Bressingham Church! 

Shapes!

This week we have been learning about shapes. We started by exploring the properties of two dimensional shapes and used Carroll and Venn diagrams to sort them. We discovered that 2D shapes that don't have curves are called polygons.

Today we investigated three dimensional shapes and looked for examples around the school.

We found lots of 3D shapes but couldn't find any pyramids in the staff room! 

3D shapes without curves are called polyhedrons.

We had great fun and are looking forward to further investigation tomorrow.

Terrific Teeth!

Class 3 had a visit from Mrs Webster yesterday, who is from the Norwich Community Hospital. She taught us how to look after our teeth in the fight against bacteria, acid attack and decay!

We had lots of questions about sugar in our food and what to avoid drinking. Water is the best thing to drink because it contains no sugar or acid. Try to check the labels of your food and drink to find out the sugar content! 

If you are going to have sugar in a drink or as a treat in food, when is the best time for it?

We learnt about how to brush our teeth correctly and when the best times to brush our teeth are. 

We have been given a pack to take home that has a new toothbrush and sample toothpaste to try out.
