Greek Day A fun-filled day learning about the city states of Athens and Sparta, dressing up, playing games, making clay coins and taking part in a theatrical production. At the end of the day we had to decide whether we would rather be Athenians or Spartans - we were split 50/50

Music - Easy E We have started a new unit of work focusing on musical notation and playing the glockenspiel. The focus of the first lesson was to introduce the stave and the position of the musical note ‘E.’ We really enjoyed performing together, it sounded great! #MabsMusic3

Narrative Poems In English we have enjoyed listening to ‘The Owl and the Pussycat,’ ‘Chocolate Cake’ and ‘The Lion and Albert.’ We chose ‘The Lion and Albert’ for a class performance and had great fun working together in groups to present sections of the poem.

Music We extended our musical knowledge by learning about the stave, bars, bar lines, and how to identify the time signature of a piece of music. We also learned about the duration of different notes. Finally, we enjoyed playing ‘Strictly D’ - we were amazing! #MabsMusic3

Music This week we have been introduced to the minim rest which lasts for 2 beats. We enjoyed playing ‘Play your Music’ which used the notes D and E, but it took a while to get used to pausing at the minim rest. We had to concentrate in order to keep to the beat. #MabsMusic3

Sports Day We had a great afternoon, the weather was lovely and the events were a lot of fun.

Music This week we learnt all about crotchets and crotchet rests. Each crotchet lasts for one beat unlike minims which last for two. We found it challenging to keep to the beat at first so our partners tapped the beat while we played the correct notes. #MabsMusic3

Celebrating success! A huge congratulations goes to all our hard working certificate winners. Star of the Week - Declan 🌟 Writer of the Week - Sophie 📝 Maths Award - Sam 🧮 British Values - Ella 🏅 Reading Challenge - Rosa 🧳 Silver Awards - Anya and Ella 👏

DeeCee’s Blues Today in music we have been introduced to the note ‘C.’ We played a piece of music using the notes D and C. It was quite tricky because it had minims, minim rests, crotchets and crotchet rests. #MabsMusic3

STEM Activity: Lego Electro- City We had a brilliant morning creating a city out of Lego. Once we had constructed the city we added a circuit so that the buildings lit up. It was amazing!

Art We looked at Henri Rousseau’s painting ‘Surprised’ and wondered why leaves are green and why there are so many shades of green. This week we investigated photosynthesis, used magnifying lenses to observe leaves, mixed shades of green and created collages from leaves.

Silver Superstars! Congratulations goes to the following children who have earned 150 dojos.
