Third Class were learning about sea life in SESE in May and as part of this we integrated our Art lessons into this topic. Each child designed and planned what they would do to their shoe box. They were very creative and produced amazing under water displays.

Third Class have focused all year on improving their handwriting and especially their cursive writing. The children were delighted to receive their own pen licence certificates this week. This means they can now use pens aswell as pencils in school. Well done!

The children created pretty artwork last week using paper, card and paint. They all had fun creating unique and colourful butterflies.

Third Class were learning about electricity over the last few weeks in Science. We spoke about renewable sources of energy, safety in relation to electricity, batteries, conductors and insulators. The children then carried out a number of experiments. They made circuits and investigated what materials in the classroom were good insulators and conductors of electricity. They also investigated how static electricity works.

The children worked in pairs over three weeks to construct items from cardboard boxes. They used boxes of various shapes and sizes. They first planned what they would make. They then cut out their design and decorated them with materials such as paint and felt. The children had a great time taking part in these lessons and I was very impressed with their creativity.
