Come and have a look at some of the amazing things we have been up to so far in 3KM!

English

Journey: An award-winning modern classic picture book. The first in Aaron  Becker's genre-defying JOURNEY trilogy of wordless picture book adventures.  ...

Our first text this year is called Journey by Aaron Becker. It is a wordless picture book which follows a girl who draws a magic door and embarks on an adventure. We will be writing a sequel to the story in our writing lessons.

History

In History this half-term, we are looking at how children's lives have changed since Victorian times. We are going to use historical sources to explore how life was different for wealthy and poor children.

Science

As scientists this half-term, we are going to be investigating sound. We are going to explore how sound travels through a medium, factors impacting volume and pitch and everyday uses of sound. 

PE

PE will be taught on Tuesdays. We will be doing gymnastics.

On Thursday, we will be going to Forest School. 

Art

In Art, we have learnt about the artist Magdalene Odundo. She is known for her work in clay and glass. Magdalene Odundo uses drawing as preparation for her ceramic work. Inspired by the artist, we created a 2D representation of a 3D object.
