Year 3 - Safer Internet Day 2019 , by Miss Jones
Date: 5th Feb 2019 @ 6:08pm
Year 3 have had a wonderful afternoon completing a carousel of activities about staying safe online. Our activities included sorting statements into fact and opinion so that we are able to spot fake news online. We also completed a quiz to understand what information is safe to share online. Another activity involved writing rules and top tips for keeping safe online and sorting true and false facts about internet usage. Finally, we read a story about Buddy the Dog and how we could stay safe when using tablets. Buddy taught us a song. Why not ask the children to sing it to you at home?

Sharing homework in Year 3, by Miss Jones
Date: 1st Feb 2019 @ 9:00pm
Year 3 have been very busy at home over the past 2 weeks. As part of our English text, Escape from pompeii, the children had to research the events in Pompeii, 79AD. Children used the internet, trips to the library, videos and even song lyrics to gather their information. They then presented their research in a variety of ways. We had lift the flap peters, posters made on the computer, leaflets with glossaries, speeches, story writing, fact files and PowerPoint presentations. It was brilliant to see the children use features that we have looked at in English and guided reading.

Year 4 created a video called, ‘Would it be OK…?’ about the plight of Sumatran Tigers. They are critically endangered and we wanted to educate people so this beautiful animal doesn’t become extinct. We worked in pairs thinking about the ‘voice’ of the tiger and then created powerful questions based upon their threats.

Year 4 - Chester Zoo Workshop, by Mrs Hover
Date: 29th Nov 2018 @ 12:14pm
Chester Zoo Workshop - Act for Wildlife
We all learnt lots today with our safari ranger, Marissa from Chester Zoo. Marissa explained that Chester Zoo’s whole aim is to prevent animals from becoming extinct. We then looked at the main threats to endangered animals and these are:
1) Habitat loss 2) Illegal Wildlife trade 3) Pollution
Marissa explained that we need to ‘SPREAD THE WORD’ in order to help conservation. In groups, we looked at different animal artefacts that had been seized by the police due to illegal wildlife trade. They included a handbag made from snake skin, an elephant tusk, rhino medicine, leopard skin and chimpanzee skulls.
Finally, we discussed the impact of pollution and worked as a class to create a timeline, looking at how long it takes for everyday objects to break down and decompose.

Year 3 visitors , by Miss Jones
Date: 27th Nov 2018 @ 12:21pm
Year 3 have been very lucky to have had two visitors into the classroom this week. Last Tuesday, Mr Trevor visited the class to deliver a workshop about the Stone Age. The children were fabulous at asking and answering historical questions. It was a perfect opportunity for them to show Mr Trevor what they have learnt during their English and topic lessons. I was very proud of the children and amazed at just how much they could remember from lessons.
This Tuesday, we welcomed a ladycalled Marissa from Chester zoo . She tasked to us about the importance of looking after our planet by recycling and reducing plastic waste. The children were shocked to learn just how long it takes for certain materials to rot after they are thrown in the bin. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle 😀

Year 4 - A young orangutan, by Mrs Hover
Date: 22nd Nov 2018 @ 8:29pm
Really impressed by the children's thoughts based on the Greenpeace advert, 'There's a Rang-Tan in my bedroom'. This led to research on palm oil and deforestatation. The children then wrote from the point of view of a young orangutan in its natural habitat and then during and after deforestation.
