Peacock Class

We are a mixture of Year 3 and 4 children and our teacher is Miss Kemp with Mrs Hainsworth, Mrs Delaney, Mrs Moreton and Mrs Geary supporting us.

 

Our main topics for this year include:

‘Busy Bodies’ when we find out about the digestive system, our bones, teeth, keeping healthy and food chains.

‘Once Upon a time in the Stone Age which initially investigates books of different genres and a range of exciting authors and illustrators. We go onto find out out about prehistoric life in StoneAge Britain.

Our final topic is ‘Welcome to Yorkshire’ when we investigate the geography,  food,  and famous people and events of Yorkshire.

Each topic includes either a class visit or a workshop to excite and engage the children, as well as to enhance the learning experience.

P.E. is currently on Monday (outdoor) and  Wednesday.  On Wednesday,  year four children will be going swimming and the year three children will be doing P.E in school.
Year three, please come to school dressed in your P.E. Kit on Monday and Wednesday.

Year come to school in P.E. kit on Monday and on Tuesday you don’t need your kit but you do need to wear your swimming costume underneath and bring a towel and spare pants. ( See letter for extra detail).

Homework is handed out on Friday and needs to be returned on Tuesday mornings. House points are awarded for effort and accuracy.

 

Please keep practising your spellings and time tables (plus the linked division facts), as it is so important. This year all years fours will take part in a national times table test which involves knowing all their times tables up to 12 x12. Please also practise telling the time at home as a lot of children find this very tricky.

 

We are using Times Table Rock Stars in school to help the children learn their times tables.

Animation and more!
19/05/2023 4:24 PM

This week, Peacocks have been building their animation skills using the imovie ap. They are creating a mini scene from the Iron Man story and learning the pitfalls of wobbling cameras and hair in the way of shot! We had our class photo taken on Wednesday and all the children have enjoyed making shapes and nets of shapes using the geo shape resources.

Next week we are going to get really busy for the end of term with Wednesday Interhouse cycling (bikes and helmets please). Swimming is still going ahead for year four  but year three will not do more P.E. that day after cycling. On Friday, it is our Interhouse Cross Country event so PE kits again that day please.

Yorkshire projects letters went out today. You have until 19th June so no panic!

Time is running out for year four children to know their timetables ahead of the SATS test in June so lots and lots of practise at home everyone.

Have a fabulous weekend. 

Miss Kemp

Peacocks go Iron Man crazy!
12/05/2023 5:03 PM

This week we have been finishing decorating our Iron Man poems and writing our wanted posters. The children have enjoyed reading the Ted Hughes' classic, the Iron Man. They are now planning their own next chapter. The children have come up with alll sorts of amazing ideas for a new character.

In science, we have been learning about electricity. We have learned about the dangers and how to stay safe. We have also learned about complete circuits, conductors, insulators and making switches. We are going to be designing Yorkshire themed night lights next for a D.T. project.

Geography is the other hot topic at the moment and the children are learning to use the index in an atlas and spotting the capital cities of the U.K. as well as learning the difference between human and physical geography.  We are going to learn more about Europe, the U.K. and cities as well as the most important geographical areas of Yorkshire over the term.

The children seemed to really enjoy their disco last night and looked amazing in their dancing gear. I hope they enjoy dancing along to the Eurovision Song Contest this weekend. Have fun!

 

 

Stone Age Days
17/04/2023 3:59 PM

In LKS2, we have our Stone Age days coming up! This will be a chance to recap all of the facts and significant events we covered in our Stone Age topic, as well experience a day in the life of a Stone Age person. 

Children will need to wear long trousers as we will be making fires and shoes appropriate for wearing in the meadow. Outdoor PE kit would be best!

 

Owls - Friday 21st April

Peacocks - Monday 24th April

Nightingales - Tuesday 25th April

No Swimming
17/04/2023 3:49 PM

Just a reminder that there is no swimming this week. The children that were selected do have the skipping competition on Wednesday so will need to come in PE kits. 

Swimming will restart next week. 

Happy Easter
31/03/2023 4:31 PM

What a show! Well done to everyone for an amazing performance this week. Fabulous dancing, singing, signing, musicianship and acting. The children worked so hard and really put in the maximum effort! Thank you for supporting your child to take part in this confidence building and fun, performing arts experience. 

Other egggciting events of the week were our Easter  egg hunt and our year three visit to church for the Easter Story. 

Everyone has written a detailed newspaper report about the show and completed a beautiful Piece of Stone Henge art work. In maths, we have made a start on decimals this week which we will continue after Easter.

No homework this holiday except keep reading and practising your times tables on TTRS!

I hope every family has a relaxing and peaceful Easter.

Best wishes 

Miss Kemp

Merry Christmas everyone!

What a term it has been! The children have worked so hard and really enjoyed the Busy Bodies topic.

We have had a lovely week finishing writing our stories about the fox and the mouse and creating water colour book covers for it. The highlight of the week was our Christmas party where everyone enjoyed dancing and traditional party games. We also loved the ‘Mastermind quiz’ and today’s beautiful carol concert at Church.
Thank you for the fabulous behaviour from your lovely children!

Next term, we will be learning about books, authors, illustrators and the Stone Age in ‘Once upon a time in the Stone Age. Spring term is always a busy one with the LKS2 performance and our one night residential for year four children to Lineham Farm. We also have a Stone Age workshop planned and Stone Age day in the meadow which we will tell you about next year. P.E. Days will be back to Monday Wednesday and Year four will start swimming in the second week back. 

I hope you all have a very happy Christmas and fun ‘New Years’ celebrations. 
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We had a fab Christmas dinner today and everyone enjoyed pulling crackers and eating their delicious school Christmas dinner with their friends. On Wednesday, Year four had a ‘fun swim’ and everyone enjoyed their last Leeds Rhinos P.E session. We are back to Mon and  Wed for P.E next term.

Christmas party is on Wednesday. Please look for your child’s party letter in their bag which tells them what to do. We have asked for an item of food to contribute to the party. Have lovely weekend!

Amazing projects!

We have been in awe across LKS2 with the incredible projects that the children have brought in this week. We have taken part in quizzes, tasted cake and admired art work. The amount of effort the children have put in and their ability to present the new information to the rest of their classes has been admirable. A big thank you to all of the children as well as parents and guardians for your on going support.
