Monthly Snapshot

February

We were delighted to meet the artist that we’re studying; Kate Lynch. Kate works with charcoal and came in to do some work with the children on faces. Please do come and look at what we have on display in the school.

To kick off our River Parrett topic, we welcomed Rick Snell back to show some of the wonderful videos of wildlife he has captured in South Petherton.

Our Somerset Folk Tales were a real success, with pupils using inverted commas, apostrophes for possession and joined up handwriting- well done Year 3!

January

To start our ‘Somerset’ topic, we searched the community woods for signs of local wildlife. There were lots of animal tracks, nests and burrows and we wondered if some deer had been stripping bark off some of the trees.

We are learning about our bodies in Animals including Humans, and so invited Dr Boyland in, to answer questions on how our bodies work.

Our Michael Rosen unit in English culminated in the composition of some rather brilliant ‘Chocolate Biscuit’ and ‘Smarties’ narrative poems, some of which were shared in our Book Club assembly, whilst Dahl class shared a fabulous retelling of Rosen’s ‘Chocolate Cake’.
