Jackson Pollock
Third Class have been learning about lots of different artists over the last few weeks. During our latest art project we learnt about Jackson Pollock. Inspired by Jackson Pollock’s artwork pupils created art pieces on canvas. Pupils used lots of different tools to drip paint onto the canvas like Jackson Pollack did.
A special thank you to Sarah Rubin for all her work with our class.
Hibernating Hedgehogs

Maths Week in 3rd Class
This week Third Class have been taking on the task to create a maths board game for Maths Week! We have been working on them for the past week and we presented them today! We have seen many good maths games already, and there are still more to come! We have had a 60 second challenge by Evan, a truth or dare game by Torin, a card game by Maya Rubin and a Monkey Goes Bananas! by Natanya. We have enjoyed playing the games and some of them are quite imaginative.
