Peacock Class

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

 

Our main topics for this year include:

‘Awesome Egyptians', 'Rumble in the Jungle' and 'Victorian Rawdon'.

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. On Wednesday, 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.

Y4 Residential - Thurs 18th- Fri 19th April

This year we are taking Year 4 on a 1-night residential to Lineham Farm. They will have a chance to experience a range of outdoor and adventurous activities and have a absolutely fantastic time with their year group.

Peacock reflections!
6/10/2023 3:40 PM

Peacock class has had fun with mirrors in science this week. We have been writing in secret mirror code like Leonardo da Vinci and experimenting with reflections in two mirrors and mirror mazes.

In art, the children have created some beautiful designs making scarab beetle designs and using pointilllism techniques. 

In English, we have been working on using expanded noun phrases to add description as we build up to writing our story of Isis and Osiris. 

On Tuesday next week, we are having our key stage harvest curriculum day based on herbs and spices.

 Enjoy the weekend!

We stepped back in time this week to visit the Ancient Egyptians. After making our Egyptologist handbooks, we entered the mysterious world of the Egyptians in our workshop with Matthew and  'Moveable Feast'. There, we took part in the strange rituals of mummification and all the children had great fun. We learned so much in one morning about the Awesome Ancient Egyptians and their gods.

In science, the fun continued with glow sticks and torches where we tested out our light sorces and reflectors in the darkest room in school. In art we got very messy creating different tints, tones and  colours in our mixing skills class. 

P.E. started this week on Monday and Wednesday. The whole class was enjoying learning tag rugby skills on Monday. On Wednesday, Year four had a splashing time in the swimming pool while year three were in the hall for gymnastics.

Info:

In KS2 we no longer use Seesaw and use homework books which are sent home  on Friday for return on Tuesday. Homework diaries are in children's book bags every day and available for spelling practise and recording reading. Well done to Elsie Lyons for being our first 'Bookworm of the week!' Is anyone going to win TTRS housepoints this week?

Have a lovely weekend

Best wishes

Miss Kemp

 

 

Peacocks make a perfect start!
8/09/2023 6:17 PM

Peacocks have settled their feathers nicely and have made a great start to their academic year. It was lovely to see all their enthusiasm for learning and positive attitudes. I know we are going to love our Egyptian topc.

PE days are Monday and Wednesday.

On Tuesday morning, Peacocks will be in the hall for a fabulous Egyptian workshop with the 'Moveable Feast' company. All children now have a book and should have brought home their homework diary and homework book. The homework diary is the place to record listening to your child read and it should be in their book bag every day along with their reading book.

All information from the 'Meet the teacher' evening is on the class page on our website. Please come and talk to me at the door if you have any questions or worries or send an e.mail to the school office if you can't get to school.

Best regards 

Miss Kemp

Peacock news time to rest!
27/10/2023 6:48 PM

Wow what a busy half term we have had! Well done to everyone for all your hard work and achievements so far. This week was particularly busy with our fab art day, Harvest Festival and shadow work. We were gaining DT skills using a hacksaw safely to cut wood to create models of Ancient Egyptian shadufs. (Ask the children what they are!) We also made our clay mummies and amulets and over the next few weeks we are going to making a mini sacrcophagus using mod-roc. Alongside these activities, we created Ancient Egyptian jewellery using mosaic and sparkly jewels.

Science has been very exciting this week and we have been discovering how shadows work and learning about opaque, transparent and transluscent objects. We made puppets and created our own shadow puppet performances.

The children sang like angels at the harvest festival and would make any parent proud.

Homework this week is to get your projects done and keep working on reading, spelling and times tabes. Rather than a new list of spellings, I asked the children to review their own spellings this term and write a list of 10 words that they were getting incorrect in writing or spelling tests. No maths homework. 

Have a lovely break. I hope you enjoy Halloween and bonfire night safely!

Best wishes 

Miss Kemp

Peacocks get cooking!

On Tuesday, Peacocks had a fun curriculum day based on herbs and spices. They baked cinnamon and apple muffins, painted Egyptian landscapes in turmeric and created Tudor pomanders. They became scent detectives whilst sniffing a whole range of herbs and spices. 

On Wednesday, the children received their reward for completing their class target and had an extra play in the meadow.  This week, the children completed their pointillism series of lessons with paintings of Egyptian animals. In RE, we are learning about festivals of light and we have covered Hanukkah. The children have made menorah booklets and retold the story of Hanukkah in pictures. In PSHE we were discussing computer games and reasons for following the age ratings on games and how they help us.

This week we have begun column subtraction which is also homework this week. We will continue working on this next week as it is brand new to year three. 

Today, the children have been given their homework, an information letter and a project letter.

Enjoy your weekend!
