Welcome to class 3 - home for years 5 and 6. In class 3, we begin to use our experiences to broaden our knowledge and explore new ideas. With secondary education in mind, we also work on building confidence and self-esteem, ready for the challenges a new school can bring. 

Our history topic this term is: Entertainment through the decades. We will be studying how entertainment and leisure time has changed over the 20th century: firstly we're looking at Edwardians and the similarities and differences between then and now; how leisure activities needed to adapt during  World War 2; listening to changes in music; studying the influence of television and film on our culture; and how the advances in technology have changed entertainment. . 

Our science topic is: 'Animals, including humans'. We will be looking at our circulatory system: what blood is; how blood is pumped around the body; the role of our heart and lungs; how food is digested and transported; and how to eat and exercise to have a healthy lifestyle. We will be planning and carrying out some investigative science experiments too. And, of course, this is the term when Class 3 hold the science fair - we can't wait! (see information in link)

We are reading Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo. Through this text, Class 3 will be writing a newspaper report, a biography, and poems using Saxon kennings.
