Class Three

Welcome to Year 3/4!
Mrs Williams' Class

This half term we are exploring the context 'Sensoria' this is a Scienec led topic and we will be improving our understanding of light and sound. We discussed the questions that we would like to investigate during this context and have already discovered how we see and imporved our drawing skills by following steps and advice of an artist. We want to find out how lights work and how sounds are made.We will be creating music and artwork which will be linked to light and dark. Our end task this time will be to create a sensory area. Watch this space for our results.

Our first context for this term was Children of the Revolution we explored life during the Victorian era. We were amazed to discover some of the things that were invented during this time for example the first electric railway and the telephone. Life for poor people was vey hard and lots of children had to work in factories, or mines. Some children did go to school but schools could be very harsh for children in Victorian times. We used our research to make a double bubble map to compare and contrast life in schools then and now:

To end our context we received an invitation to attend a tea party with Queen Victoria. She wanted us to research a famous Victorian and to come to the party dressed as that person. Take a look at the gallery to see who we came as.
