Next years Nightingales were introduced to their new History topic, the Romans during transition week.  As part of this we drew some pencil sketches of a Roman soldier.  Here is a selection of what they produced.

In the Giraffes, children have been practising drawing eyes.  Once they had practised the shape and outline, children experimented with adding colours and effects, using a variety of media, such as charcoal, watercolour, drawing pencils, felt pens and oil pastels.  The ideas will be used to design an eye sculpture, to be made later this term from clay.  

At the start of a science unit we normally start by finding out what children already know about a topic. Here’s Serena from the Nightingales showing what she knows about plants.

The Giraffes have read to the end of their class text 'Oliver and the Seawigs.'  In the book, Oliver Crisp and Iris (a mermaid), are bullied by Stacey de Lacey, who is determined that Thurlstone will win the Night of the Seawigs.  At the end of the story, Stacey floats away on a raft, having been defeated, with the sea monkeys clinging onto him.  We have written apology notes from Stacey, asking for forgiveness from Oliver and Iris.  We learnt to use a 'the more, the more' sentence and include this in our writing.  

In Year 3 our DT lessons have been focussed on using our textiles skills to make a pin cushion themed around the Tudor Rose. This week in our 2CanLearn session we worked with our adults to make our cushions. Here is Emily from the Nightingales one.
