NSPCC Number Day

The Year 4 Ada Lovelace class joined in with the NSPCC Number Day on Timestable Rockstars to try and gain as many points as possible for Birkwood and dressed up to raise money for the charity.

NSPCC ROCKS

Year 3 Obama have loved joining NSPCC ROCKS to raise money and compete against other classes, schools and even regions on TT Rock Stars.

To prepare for their final piece inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkin designs, Y3 Jemison have been perfecting their clay techniques. We have been practicing coiling and pinching along with joining skills such as slip, score and blend.

Music from around the world

Year 3 Jemison have been exploring the different instruments used around the world to create different styles of songs. We listen to traditional music from countries such as Spain, Italy, Japan and Egypt to replicate their style and tempo.

Year 3 Jemison have been exploring the features of instructions in preparation for writing their own ‘How to build a robot’ texts, inspired by our class text ‘Harley Hitch and the Iron Forest’.

Pentagons, Hexagons and Right angles

Year 3 Jemison know how many vertices and right angles pentagons and hexagons have. We also know the properties of regular and irregular polygons and can investigate this with our angle measurer!
