A busy half term in Class 3

This half term has been another busy and exciting one for Class 3. As part of our Independent Living Skills unit, we have placed a strong focus on pet care. This linked perfectly with our English text, The Appletree Animal Agency – Collie Chaos, where we have been learning about rehoming animals and ensuring pets are matched with the right owners. These discussions helped us to write our own non-chronological reports.

We thoroughly enjoyed learning about different types of pets and loved sharing photos of our own pets with the class. This topic also gave us the opportunity to go on some fantastic trips. We especially enjoyed our visits to Southern Aquatics, where we saw a terrapin just like the one in our story, and Ferne Animal Sanctuary, where we met a wide variety of animals.

In PE, we have been very lucky to have Sean from the Somerset Cricket Foundation visiting school to teach us new cricket skills, which we have really enjoyed.

Alongside this, we have continued to practise important life skills, including changing a bed, mopping, hoovering and sweeping.

During Science lessons, we have been using the sensory garden to learn about plant care and how to look after our environment.

As Christmas approaches, we have also been busy practising our narration for the school nativity and are very much looking forward to sharing it with you soon.
