We have had such a busy start to 2026!! The children have all been working extremely hard in all areas of the curriculum. I’ve added a few photos into this post for you to have a look at.

In science this month we have been learning about the digestive system and teeth. We used mirrors to identify and name which teeth we had. Some of us have more than others at the moment. We learnt about incisors, pre molars, molars and canines. We have begun to compare our teeth to other animals. 

In our maths sessions we have been looking at multiplication and division and in particular multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. 

We’ve also completed a dance unit on machines which we all got really stuck into.

The children also made their own papyrus paper in Monday’s art lesson with Mrs Ollerenshaw.

We’ve also mummified tomatoes! We checked on them yesterday and noted any differences from when they were first placed in the salt.

We’ve completed lots more amazing work, too much to mention.

Just a quick ask, I’m not seeing many homework books. The children have new homework handed to them every Friday.

Class 3B completed a brilliant day on Monday this week, designing and building an Egyptian Shaduf, as part of their D&T project this term. These are simple, hand-operated machines, used for lifting water from a source (well or river), to irrigate land or fill a higher basin.
