Busy Times in 3rd & 4th Class
3rd and 4th have been busy on many fronts in recent times, here are two of the activities they have been working on.
Pumpkins
Last October, the class harvested seeds from the classroom Jack o’Lantern. In the last few weeks they have planted the seeds and watched them sprout into shoots and grow leaves. Today, they moved the plants into bigger pots to give them more room.
The Normans
They also continued their study of the Normans and castles through their artwork. They used a foam/glue/paint combination to create a 3D effect castle.
This followed a previous art activity where they created a Norman knight. The excitement now builds ahead of their school tour to King John’s Castle next week!
Star Awards – April
Congratulations to our Star Award winners for April!
One pupil from each classroom was selected by their class teacher and the award winners were presented with certificates at today’s assembly.
They were also given a night off homework for their efforts!
