How to make cabbage interesting!

Sometimes you are blown away by the impact a member of your class can have on you. Here is one of those occasions. Lisa was asked by Miss T (another teacher in our class to have a go at this science experiment). And guess what! She did and this is what she happened...

Well done Lisa!

Sally and the magical purple shell

This was a start to a story that Ayumi wrote a little while back. I was just reading it again and I was so impressed that I decided to record it in iMovie and create a YouTube video out of it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Today we spent some time writing book reviews about some of the Anthony Browne books we have been reading. Some of our reviews are well worth a read. Are there any books you would like to read? let us know and we might be able to give you a few more reasons why you should read that particular book...  

 

Luca's Review

Which sketch do you think looks the most realistic?

The ABC of Science Investigation

Dear Reader,

Today we spent some time discussing what science investigations actually are and how we would set up and carry out a science investigation. Check out some of our Prezi's that should help you with any future science investigations you would like to carry out.







Please remember to send us any scientific investigations you have carried out.

The beauty of book covers

Would you choose to read a book if it had one of these fabulously designed book covers?

 

 

 

Check out the rest of our book cover designs by looking at our pages.

Building British Buildings

It was our school's Anniversary so we decided to do some British activities. One of these activities involved our year group building some famous British buildings. Watch the video and see if you recognise any of the buildings as they are being built?

The Young Explorer

Luca wrote a really excellent story using Story Bird. Would you like to find out what happens at the end?

A house that looks like a birthday cake?

Guest Blogger Momoko decided to share some of the wonderful creations she has painstakingly built over the last few weeks using the iPad App 'Toca Builders'. Imagine being able to build a house that looks like cake! Well you can now...
We would love to see more Toca, Minecraft and other App creations you may have built!

The apprentice Archaelogists

Being historical detectives we decided to have a look at some Artefacts that came from Ancient Egypt. We didn't know anything about these artefacts but we studied them and wrote observations about what we saw. We also made some deductions about the Ancient Egyptians based on what we had observed. Please check out our pages to find the notes we made on these artefacts!

Eduardo's observations and deductions

Follow that boy!

Dear Reader,

This week we read another super Anthony Browne story called 'Into the Forest'. We decided to create story maps to map the boy's journey from the start of the story to it's conclusion. Why don't you watch the video of the story and see if it matches the story maps we have drawn on our blog pages?
Remember - we want your comments!

How the Colesseum was made!

I enjoyed making the Colosseum although there were a lot of tricky parts. The tricky parts were the seats inside the Colosseum. When I finished, I felt happy that I made it.

Poetry Party

Dear Reader,

Rebecca wrote this fantastic poem so we decided to share it on Twitter.

It was so popular that one of our Year One classes asked her to write a poem about teddy bears. And here it is.

If you enjoyed reading it please let us know.

Take a trip to Mount Tamotsu

Tamotsu uses Prezi to describe a journey to the perilous Mount Tamotsu in the forest of 3G. It looks like an exhausting hike. Why don`t you pack a rucksack, grab your thermos flask and see how far up the mountain you can get?

Do you know how to say five in Spanish?

Dear Reader,

Avi, Aviation engineer, linguist and mathematician tells us how to count to ten in three different languages. Once again we have to say brilliant work Avi! By the way Avi, how do you say 'brilliant work' in Japanese, Spanish and Punjabi?

Mrs Piggott decides to leave home!

This week we have been reading some Anthony Browne books. We imagined that we were Mrs Piggot from his 'Piggy Book' and decided to write letters to our (we were writing as if we were Mrs Piggot) wayward family. Try reading some of our letters. Can you imagine how Mrs Piggot feels? Would you like to be in Mrs Piggot's situation? Leave a comment and let us know...

Come fly with me!

Dear Reader,

The forest has it's first class post from Avi the Airplane Engineer. Please check out this video from Avi on how to build a 'Loop the Loop' paper plane. I am certain that both Boeing and Airbus will be keeping close tabs on this future aviation ace. Brilliant stuff Avi!

 

The forest comes alive!

Dear Readers,

Welcome to our class blog. This is our first post and we hope that you will take the time to browse through the different and varied pages that make up our class blog. We promise that after you have read, listened and viewed the learning landscape that makes up the wonderful forest you will want nothing more than to return time and again to see what we are doing in class 3G.

As a starting point we offer interested readers a sneak preview of what is to come.

Here is the start of Mateo's free writing story. When I read this story all I wanted to know was 'What will happen to the rare wolf?' and 'Why is it rare?'

So for now we wish you 'Good hunting' in the 'Forest of Wonders' and hope you enjoyed Mateo's story as much as we did!

PS Any comments would be gratefully appreciated!
