Richardson Endowed Primary

Another Week in Class 3...

Well, what a busy but exciting week in Class 3 or should I say Kite Hall, 1939...

Scene 2 has been our focus this week which has been all about 'The Vackies'. The children have been acting out the scene and have started to get a real understanding of what life would of been like as an evacuee and a child of WWII. This week the children have been focusing on letter writing and all the features needed for a letter. We used our 'thinking hats' to help create some questions and emotions around being an evacuee. Class 3 have really enjoyed the thinking hats and have produced some excellent, emotional evacuee letters which I cannot wait to display in the classroom! I have been really impressed this week with the concentration and effort going into our writing and our checking of the basics; spellings, sentence types etc...it is great to see the children beginning to notice and edit their own work independently. Keep it up Class 3! 

We have been working hard in maths this week, still measuring but this week the focus has been on weight. The children have been collecting vocabulary for our 'Word Clouds' and have used practical apparatus to determine whether objects are heavier, lighter or balanced (equal) to one another as well as understanding how many grams go into 1 kg. The children have also been working really hard on their times tables and have shown this through weight, converting grams to kilograms and deciding how many of  a certain weight we would need to make a kilogram. All great stuff Class 3 and I know many of you are enjoying TTRockstars so please keep this up as this will support your times tables up to 12 times. 

Across the week, the children have done lots of work on Evacuation and have really enjoyed learning about the past and what it would of been like for children. They have made a suitcase filled with facts about evacuation which will be displayed on our wall. In Science, we have looked further into our forces looking at 'Friction', particularly the friction between a surface and movement which you will see in the photos below. In ART, Class 3 have just made miniature wooden WWII Spitfire models which they will be painting next week. 

So, another incredibly busy but fun week in Class 3, can't wait to do it all again next week!

Another Week in Class 3…

Our final full week…where has this year gone! Time flies when you’re having fun and my, oh my fun has most certainly been had this week. 

The children have been finishing off their maths topic of Shape with co-ordinates this week, having competed in a co-ordinates noughts and crosses tournament and school battleship style co-ordinates. Excellent work has been seen with the children gaining a really good understanding of co-ordinates being able to use them verbally and in writing them down. Who said maths isn’t fun? 

Wednesday saw Class 3 begin the 2021 Sports Day and WOW! I have never been prouder of our class, the way they presented themselves, the teamwork and sportsmanship seen and the achievements made by so many individuals. Being the first class to start of the Sports Days was a scary thing but Class 3 did it with style and class - awesome job! Congratulations to those in Hawks House who won the Sports Day overall but a huge well done and thank you to all that participated, it was a fabulous morning. 

This week has also been extremely sad because it has been Ellie’s last week at Richardson Endowed but Class 3 have made sure she has left with the biggest smile, happiest memories and loveliest gifts to show her how much we all care and how much we will all miss her. Thank you to all of Class 3 for making Ellie’s last few days so special and memorable, we really will miss you Ellie! 
Good luck and all the best for your new adventure, we know you will do amazingly! 

What an emotional but very special week. 4 days to go…

Class 3’s Star of the Week!

⭐️ Our star this week is…Eloise! ⭐️

Thoroughly deserved this week. Eloise has put so much effort into others this week, ensuring everyone in the class is happy and being incredibly kind. We have been so impressed with Eloise’s attitude and independence which have shone through this week and I hope continue with her as she enters Year 4. Thank you for being such a brilliant friend, model pupil and superstar this week - well done! 

Another Week in Class 3…

What a week! 

Class 3 have worked so incredibly hard this week on their biographies. They have completed research on their chosen person, become artists and are very close to finishing some excellent biography books! What has been the best thing this week is seeing the children’s enjoyment in this project, they have asked every single day to do their biographies and the effort and results have just been out of this world! Super proud! We hope to have them completed by next week which I will then of course share some photographs of their outstanding work. 

Class 3 have also been learning about the human body; naming bones and muscles and discovering what an incredible thing it is. They have also been learning about what it means to value someone. In order to do this, the children filled an outline of themselves with words about themselves, how they feel and what they believe about them as a person and then they swapped books with a partner and they wrote around the outline what they thought of them. This activity proved very interesting but saw some wonderful descriptions of each other and the true meaning of how to value someone! It also led to a discussion about certain words which have mixed views and we spoke about how we can use synonyms to explain exactly what we mean. 

Finally, this week we have been practicing for Sports Day! Some excellent team work, sportsmanship and individual achievements on show. They are ready and determined to win and can’t wait for Wednesday! Fingers crossed for the weather 🤞🏼 

Well done Class 3, only 9 more days to go! Keep up the good work! 

Class 3’s Star of the Week!

Our star this week is…Ollie! ⭐️ 
Ollie is a superb artist and writer, we definitely think we will see him writing and illustrating his own books some day very soon. His biography on Sonic the Hedgehog is excellent and his dedication and effort towards it have earned him star of the week! 

Keep up the great work Ollie!
