A HUGE well done to the brave children from Year 3 for performing their speeches today. We were so proud of the effort that you all put into your speeches. You read with confidence, clear voices and tried so hard with some really tricky words. I am excited to let you know who is making it to the Plover final at the beginning of next week. Keep practising as it might be you! Miss Topliss #LovePlover

Terrific teeth!🦷
This week we have loved learning all about teeth. We have learnt about the different parts teeth and the tooth; learnt about the effects of sugary drinks and the importance of brushing our teeth. We then used all of our knowledge gained to create a poster persuading children to look after their teeth. Well done for your hard work!

Marvellous measuring 📏
This week we have started our new maths unit on measurement. The kids have enjoyed exploring different units of measure, measuring items in cm mm and m as well as converting. Keep up the good, collaborative work!

You produced such lovely poems when we held our Autumn handwriting competition, I thought it would be a good idea to update our display with poems that reflect the coming season – Spring.
Choose an appropriate poem from the selection attached to this blog and copy it out beautifully, using your best handwriting and presentation.
You can decorate it and use colour if you wish.
Please give completed poems to Mrs Graves by Monday 6th March.
