Opal Class 2 (Year 3)

 

 

 World Book Day is one of our favourite days of the year! 2026 is the Year of Reading, and to celebrate. Mrs Speller organised a Book Cafe in the school library for classes to visit throughout the day. 

  

  

We also incorporated our International Schools interest into World Book Day by learning book genres in different languages, and listening to bilingual audio books. We even made bookmarks with messages in the language of our partner schools - Czech and Italian.

 

 

Our Art topic this half term is 'Sculpture.' We have been looking at different sculptors and their work including Anthony Caro and Robert Morris. They have inspired us to create our own sculptures.

 

 

 

 

In November, we celebrated Odd Sock Day, which marks the start of anti-bullying week. We also took part in a BBC Live Lesson about bullying along the theme 'Power for Good.'

Our Science topic this half term has been 'Light.' We have been doing lots of investigative work to find out about transparent, translucent, opaque and reflective materials. As well as exploring how to make and change shadows.

 

Opal 2 enjoyed their trip to Danbury Woods to learn about the Stone Age. We got to make our own art using natural materials.

 

 

 We made our own fires and we loved exploring and playing in amongst the trees. 

 

 

 Finally, we worked in teams to make shelters. Mrs Speller even got to test them with a water gun!
