News from Class 3
Class 3 had a fantastic session with LD Lapinski, author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency. We created blob characters as a team, made our own mini books and followed LD's top tips to create a skeleton plan for our own adventure! We also loved showing LD our Strangeworlds display full of our adventure stories [...]
Class 3 had a great time taking part in British Science Week last week. We started the week by investigating Does taller mean faster?' which provided some interesting results. On Tuesday, we set up two more investigations. For the first, we tested whether fresh and tinned pineapple affected how long the jelly took to [...]
Comic Relief Day at Willow Brook is always guaranteed to lift the spirits! From 200 children dressed in red (thank goodness for Forest tops!) and looking brilliant in the Charity's caps, t-shirts and noses, to a live open mic comedy afternoon, there was bound to be a positive vibe! Thanks to your donations, our [...]
There's nothing more exciting than the moment 200 book characters arrive on the school playground on World Book Day... From Matildas and enormous crocodiles to dragons, lions, witches and wardrobes, you never quite know who (or what!) is about to arrive! Our Year 6 children have always been 'dressing up pros', so we couldn't [...]

Festival at South Wolds Academy. For many, this was their first time on a rowing machine and the opportunity to shine [...]

You performed with energy, behaved impeccably, showed enormous stamina and (hopefully) had an experience that you'll remember forever. It was tricky [...]
As part of our ambitious thinking this half term, we will have the opportunity to take part in whole class debates. In Class 3, the first of these debates took place on Friday. We debated whether ‘better late than never’ is a good principle to live by. It was wonderful to see the children [...]

We're hitting the spring term at 88 mph as we navigate time travel and head back to the future for our whole-school topic! The history of time telling took us on a whistle-stop journey to Ancient Egypt and back to Baghdad this morning as we started to understand how those early hours and minutes [...]
This week, Year 3 and 4 returned from a fantastic residential at Mount Cook Adventure Centre. We had a jam-packed two days, working together as a team, orienteering around the site, shooting arrows like a real-life Robin Hood and facing the low ropes challenge. We also braved the zip wire, which the children (and [...]
