Rooks - Iron Man invades Bitterne Manor

This half term, Rooks have been studying The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.  As part of our cross-curricular work, Rooks have spent two days Building Iron Man suits as part of their Design and Technology unit.  As a class, we have learnt how to curve cardboard smoothly and the importance of creating joints to allow someone to move.  Over the two days, we have worked in teams to design our Iron Man suits, followed by our builds.  There has been a lot of cutting, sticking and team work!  As a result, 7 Iron Men and their supporters invaded every class in Bitterne Manor today.  Take a look at some of our photos.

Have a great Easter everyone.

Easter in year r

We told our classes if we add a bit of glitter to some sand then eggs will appear. It worked! Mrs Davis and I came in to 2 trays of easter eggs this morning. How amazing is this. Happy Easter everyone!

Science Experiments Live!

Inspired by Science Week, we are very pleased to be sharing a link to a video presentation by a group of young scientists from our school. Despite their disguises, one or two do look very familiar...? Looks like great fun!

A chocolatey welcome!

Thank you so much to all the children for making me feel so welcome in year 3 today.  I have been looking forward to teaching again for some time and having a fantastic, chocolate filled maths lesson made the day even better.

We used the Easter eggs to practise our weighing and comparing skills (unfortunately we didnt practise our eating skills) and will continue with our Easter egg maths this week. I can't wait!

Team Zebra
