Class 3's Mini World Cup Tournament

Class 3 had a fantastic start to their football tournament this week! The children have been split into 5 teams and each team are representing a different country competing in the World Cup- Mexico, Ivory Coast, Portugal, Australia and Japan. We have been researching these countries in the classroom but it was finally time for the teams to compete against one another... 

Each child in each team had a role to fulfil; some were managers, coaches and assistant coaches, equipment officers, captains and press officers. Everyone took their role very seriously and worked really hard. We had some excellent match reports to read by the press officers and some children refereed the games. It was a super afternoon and we can't wait to carry on the tournament next week! 

Fruit tasting and drawing

Continuing on from 'healthy living' week last week, Class 3 drew and tasted some unusual fruits this morning. Many of the children hadn't tried a Sharon fruit, passion fruit, papaya, pomegranate, lychee and physalis before; we really enjoyed them! We came up with some fantastic adjectives to describe the look and taste of the fruits. We also did some careful sketches of the fruit.
