Welcome to Guildhall Class one of our Key Stage 3 classes here at Redwood Park Academy.
Spring 2025
We have worked super hard in Guildhall class so far this year and achieved so much.
Recently, in maths lessons we have been looking at the four operations. We have been able to solve addition and subtraction sums, exchanging and carrying when needed with four-digit numbers. We have completed multiplication work; we have all been able to use the multiplication grid to help solve three digits by one digit multiplication sums using the column method. Some of us have even challenged ourselves to solve three digits by two-digit multiplication sums. Next is division!
In English, we have looked at features of a diary, this allowed us to all write our own diary entry. Recently we have started looking at newspapers and their features. We are going to create our own newspaper using our theme of heroes and villains.
Our theme this term is heroes and villains. In project we completed a CSI investigation and now we are creating our own comic strip. In art we have created our own mask. In STEM we created a castle out of junk modelling.
In PSHE we have been looking at what we can access in our local communities. We been able to identify doctors, hospitals, police stations, shops, etc. on a map of our community. We have recently looked at communicating to people in the community over the phone.
We have been visiting Cosham library as part of our Duke of Edinburgh award. This is to complete our volunteering part of the award.
Autumn 2024
We have enjoyed coming back to school so we can see our friends and teachers. We have enjoyed Maths, PE, DT and STEM the most. In Maths we have been looking at four-digit numbers, reading numbers, writing numbers, comparing them and identifying their value - we found this easy in the end. In PE we have had lots of fun being active and playing capture the flag. STEM has been super cool, using the computers to paint digitally. Some of us have really enjoyed DT designing our own musical concert.
