World Book Day in Base 3

We have loved dressing up as our favourite book characters today in Base 3. Our teachers weren’t in today though; we were taught by Mr and Mrs Twit, up to no good as usual!

We took part in ‘drop everything and read’ – listening out for the bell around school to then continue to read for pleasure. We created WANTED posters for book characters and designed wooden plaques in Outdoor Learning, inspired by books we love.

Rocking the clock away in Music

Base 3 have been loving learning about Rock n Roll music. They also showed off some fabulous dance moves to the groovy beat!

We explored living things in the urban and rural areas that surround our school. How lucky we are to have both on our doorstep! Here we are pictured with the Randlay Chimney in the distance.

British Sign Language Learning.

WE                             ARE                            BASE                          3

The children have loved learning some basic sign language this term. Thank you Mrs Lloyd for being an expert in the subject. We hope to learn more with you!

Designing and making pneumatic toys.

This week, Base 3 have been creative in their design technology lessons, by designing and making pneumatic toys, linked closely to our English work about Perfect Pets. Everyone did a wonderful job. Some children even went into Base 2 to share their designs with the younger children, as the design criteria stated how the toy needed to be bright, colourful, easy to use and to interest 5 year old children. Base 2 were certainly impressed with their creations.

 

Celebrating Mental Health Day

We all enjoyed wearing yellow today to celebrate World Mental Health Day. In base 3, we created some Positivity mugs and enjoyed some mindfulness activities to support our well-being. It was a lovely calm afternoon.

Water colouring in the outdoors

Base 3 have completed their final art lesson of Year 3 in the beautiful surroundings of our school field; sketching then using watercolours to paint what they see. A lot of the children painted the school or the forest area. Their concentration was immense! Great creativity shown Base 3.

 

VE Day Celebrations

Today, we responded to a letter from an American Fighter pilot Colonel Joseph Peterburs, solved some encrypted codes and created some lovely watercolour scenes to celebrate VE Day.
