Notting Hill Gate - Year 3
Science Day
This week, Notting Hill Gate spent the day investigating soil and finding out about the properties of soil, as well as the permeability and absorption of soils. The children enjoyed creating Lego models to represent the different properties of soil and used their scientific knowledge to predict which soil would be the most permeable.
Creating a storm atmosphere
On Thursday, Notting Hill Gate used body percussion and their art skills to create the atmosphere of a storm. The children really enjoyed performing to Mr. Benstock and all felt very proud when he was able to identify how they had used their bodies to create the sound of rain and thunder.
Connected Curriculum - Outdoor Learning
Notting Hill Gate have been looking at belonging to a community as part of PSHE and we have been focusing our learning around our class book 'The Legend of Kevin'. In this lesson, we discussed the facilities in the community of Bumbleford and built up an idea of what we think the town looks like.
The children really enjoyed going outside and creating a simple map using natural resources to show their own interpretation of what they believe Bumbleford looks like.
Litter picking!
This week, Notting Hill Gate enjoyed helping their school community by picking litter from the school field. The children all had a great time and asked if it was something we could do regularly!

All About Me
Some of the things I enjoy doing are; spending time with my family, cooking Mexican and Italian food and gardening when the sun is shining. I really like to visit new places and my favourite place I have ever visited is New York.
I am a huge fan of musical theatre and I have seen over 40 different musicals and I still have many more I hope to go and see, one day!
I am a true animal lover and I have 2 pet cats and I would really love a dog. My most favourite animal is an alpaca! Fun fact: I have adopted a black and white alpaca called Earl Grey. 🦙
Something I’d really like to do in the future is, visit the top of the Eiffel Tower!
I am looking forward to finding out all about you and some of your likes and dislikes.😊
