Book Week

Monday 28th January was the start of book week. We had a 'Book Character Day', when we had to dress up as our favourite book character. In class we have been enjoying the book 'Wolves' by Emily Gravett so we came to school dressed as wolves and rabbits.

 

Also we shared some of our favourite books with children in Class 2R. They really enjoyed listening to our stories.

 

 

Christmas Carols

In year 5 this Christmas we have been singing Christmas Carols. We sang them at the School Christmas Fayre, where all the parents came along to see us. We had a great afternoon and there were also lots of goodies to buy at the Fayre.
We also sang our carols to the public that visited the Redhouse Public House and Restaurant. We had lunch there and everybody enjoyed our singing!

Science - Plants

Welcome to our blog about plants.
This week Class 3SH  have been learning about plants. Did you know that the roots sucks the water into the plant and a  fantastic colourful fruit is made? It is important to water the plants every day and if you don’t water them they will eventually die so it is very impostant that you do so.
The different parts of the plants are roots, leaves, petals, and the bud.
Also as well as water the plant needs lots of sunlight which is where it gets its oxygen from in order to survive so the more sunlight the better it is for the plant.
We hope you enjoyed our blog - thank you for reading it!

'The Egyptians'

Welcome to class 3SH blog
Our topic this term is all about Egyptians. Did you know Egyptians believed that if the pharaoh's body could be mummified after death the pharaoh would live forever?.  The tombs were designed to protect the buried Pharaoh's body and his belongings. The dry desert heat worked to keep the Pharaohs's body and his belongings from decomposing and rotting away.
The Egyptians were responsible for building the pyramids. The reason they built the pyramids next to the River Nile  was so it would be easier to get the blocks to the pyramid. The stones could be bought nearer to the pyramid building site by boat.


Thank you for looking at our blog.

Celebrating Diwali

We have been learning about Diwali and this is how it began. The King's son Rama went to another country and met a princess called Seta and Rama and Seta got married. When Rama got home the King said Rama would become King on his death.   The King got angry and sent them away for 14 years. Rama and Seta were hungry, so Seta went to get some food but they got tricked and Seta was trapped, but did break free. After 14 years, Rama and Seta went home and everyone had their lights on to guard Rama and Seta’s way home. That is how Diwali became a festival to be celebrated.
Hindus light up divas and eat sweets, also girls wear colourful saris and they watch fireworks together.
