  Music - Pulse and Rhythm

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  Today we focused on the difference between pulse and rhythm. We used the song Jelly on a Plate to first find the pulse and then clap the rhythm. We noticed that the pulse was steady throughout whereas the rhythm could change throughout the music. We then began learning the song Three Little Birds by Bob Marley.

  Today, Class 3 were tasked with creating an identity for their group based on something they all believe in including looking after animals, protecting the environment and being kind and caring.

  Theme Book Covers

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  We created our theme book covers today inspired by the Stone Age. We learnt about cave paintings and had a go at recreating that effect. The children used brown paper to create their own textured rock wall and used the media they experimented with yesterday to create their cave art!

  History - sources of information about the past

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  Today, Class 3 thought about how we are able to learn about the past including diaries, newspapers and photos. We explored another source which is an archaeological dig where archaeologists uncover artefacts. We looked at some artefacts from the stone age and discussed what we think they were made from and what they were used for.
