It has been delightful being back in the classroom again! We have been loving seeing our friends, exploring our classroom and enjoying lessons again!

‘I’ve enjoyed being back and seeing my friends and I’ve enjoyed being back and seeing my teacher. I’ve also enjoyed being back and doing my project and work and it’s really fun’ Luca

‘I like when we are doing art lessons. I’ve enjoyed drawing the Gods’ Nathan.

‘I loved making my rainbow for St Patrick’s Day. We had to get a paper plate, stick cotton wool balls on and colourful tissue paper. Mine went on the wall but some of the tissue fell off! Miss Hillhouse and I are going to fix it during golden time’ Thomas

‘I like being back and doing art. It is fun. My favourite bit was when we done the Pharaoh’s and the rainbows’. Harry.

‘I like doing the maths challenging booklets we’ve been doing and finishing them. I like learning more about maths’ Lola

 

We have been enjoying reading Matilda as a class, learning about the little girl genius and the crazy teachers at her school. We love Roald Dahl!

‘I like the story of Matilda because she is a very smart girl and she is my favourite character and she has super powers’ Hrishika.

‘I like Matilda’s Dad, Mr Wormwood, because he’s not clever, he’s dumb’ Veer

‘I’ve enjoyed listening to the story of Matilda. She’s my favourite character because she’s so smart and it’s like she has invisible arms coming out of her eyes sometimes’. Sarah H

‘The story Matilda, she can read big grown up books and Miss Honey doesn’t know at first, she thinks she’s just a new student, but then Matilda told Miss Honey about the things she does when her Mum goes to the bingo, her Dad goes to work and her brother goes to school. Then Miss Honey realises she’s a genius!’ Andrew

 

During the lock down we voted to learn about Ancient Egypt. We have been learning lots about this topic since returning to school, and even those who didn’t vote for it have been enjoying learning about the Pharaoh’s and Egyptian make up and clothing.

‘Well Egypt is my favourite topic right now. I’ve enjoyed learning about the Gods and Goddesses, well most of them are Gods. My favourite is Ra because he is the God of sun and I love the sun because I get to go to beaches’ Daniel.

‘Ra is my favourite God as well. At home I have been making a PowerPoint, its funny because there is loads of S’s in their names, Isis, Ra, Seth, Osiris. My brother Christopher and I typed up the 5 most important Gods for my research.’ Adam

‘I like challenging myself and it was challenging wiring my name in hieroglyphics’ Sarah A

‘I’ve enjoyed learning lots of facts about Egypt, it’s very interesting places and doing all these lessons is helping me learn about these interesting things’ Nico

‘I’ve enjoyed painting the Egyptian Pharaoh and my favourite thing learning about was the Gods. We drew them with pencil and painted them with yellow and blue paint. It was difficult and fun to work with a group’. Isabelle

‘Howard Carter was famous, he needed money to find the tomb, he didn’t give up. He started digging under another pharaohs tomb and then he found Tutankhamen’s tomb!’ Maria.

‘I like the Gods and Goddesses’ Rayyan

 

Within writing we have been focusing on paragraphs. We have written lots excellent of stories since coming back to school and often have two or three Star Writers each week because our writing is so awesome! Our Star Writers this week were Thomas, Maria and Veer! Our two most recent pieces of writing were writing a new ending to the book ‘The Dancing Tiger’ and ‘If I Found a Pot of Gold’ linked to Irish legends for St Patrick’s Day.

‘Paragraphs make our story easier to read and understand. I liked the Dancing Tiger writing. I liked the girl dancing with the tiger. ‘ Niamh

‘To me it’s kind of difficult, at the first I thought you had to just do a full stop, but now I know I’m not meant to. I need to miss a line’ Kazeem

‘If I found a pot of gold I would be delighted, I would jump for joy. I wrote that I would buy a butler, a Lamborghini and a mansion’ Martin

‘I wrote that the leprechaun was scared that someone was stealing the pot of gold from him. I was jumping up and down and screaming at the top of my lungs. I was going to buy a mansion, a water slide and a Lamborghini.’ Zac

 

We worked so hard during the lock down! That was clear to see from the work we were uploading on Google Classroom, but we are working just as hard now we are back in the classroom. We love our class mates and our lessons and we have had so much fun this term. We can’t wait to be back after the Easter holiday for our last term in P3! Wow, times flies when you’re having fun!

 

Lots of love,

Miss Hillhouse and P3c
