Class 3 – What have we been doing? (04.2011)

It’s the end of another busy term for Tigers class. We have been very lucky this half term to welcome a student teacher from Bishop Grosseteste College, Mr Patrick Winn, who has joined us for Mondays and Tuesdays. He will be taking on more teaching commitments next term.
The children have learnt a great deal from our themed work on India – including researching their own topic using the Internet and books. Through constant practice they are all now improving their computer skills. We have worked very hard on newspaper reports in Literacy, and I am sure that we have some real journalists in the making!
In DT, Mr Winn has helped the children design and make monsters, using air to make various parts of their monster move. They have had some excellent ideas, and most of the monsters are now finished and in working order.
Tigers have been going to Witham Hall for gymnastics every Wednesday this term. Mrs Welch, the teacher from Witham, has complimented the children on how much progress they have made in every area of gymnastics. She says that Wednesday mornings are the highlight of her week!
I took a group of ten Y3/ 4s to Witham Hall for the annual Sing Up morning, a gathering of seven schools from the Stamford area. Our children did us proud – they were so confident and well- behaved! They all enjoyed the occasion and mixed very well with the other schools.
We look forward next term to starting our topic on Ancient Egypt – always a winner with the children.
