Lime Class has had another amazing week, filled with new routines and a lot of hard work. The students have risen to the challenge, adapting quickly and putting in maximum effort. After such a productive week, they certainly deserve a restful weekend. They’ve managed to cover a wide range of subjects, showcasing their enthusiasm and commitment to learning.
In English, we focused on grammatical terminology and explored the fascinating life of Roald Dahl. After reading and analyzing his biography, the students had the opportunity to rewrite it in their own words, which helped develop their writing and comprehension skills. Meanwhile, in maths, we’ve been diving into place value, with a focus on reading, representing, and writing numbers up to and beyond 1,000. It’s been great to see the students’ confidence grow in handling larger numbers.
Our science lessons have been full of new vocabulary, as well as a review of terms the students already know. We’ve been busy sorting and classifying living things, which has sparked some lively discussions. In art, the class has been honing their drawing and shading techniques to create impressive 3D images. Music lessons have had a Latin American twist, with everyone enjoying the rhythms and beats as they danced along.
our PSHE lesson this week has been focused on friendships, with the class creating posters on how to be a good friend—to others and to themselves. In history, we learned more about Nelson Mandela, and in PE, we began exploring different team games such as hockey and football. Each day ends with a reading from Bill’s New Frock by Anne Fine, which has opened up thoughtful conversations about gender and fairness. In RE the year threes learned about the story behind the Hindu festival of Diwali, and drew a story map so that they could remember it. To top it all off, we’ve started learning about France in French lessons and have discussed online identity in computing. What an incredible start to the term!
