Diwali – The Festival of Light in 3GS

13th November 2023Mrs Graves

On Friday, we spent some time learning about the Festival of Diwali, to link with our third Case Study ‘How does light illuminate our world?”.

Diwali is being celebrated by Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists all around the world this week, so it was perfect timing to do some research and find out more.

We watched videos and learnt the story of Rama and Sita and then we took part in a treasure hunt of facts around the room to see how much we had learnt.

We would like to wish everyone who has been celebrating this weekend a very happy Diwali.

Boggledybook’s Book Fair

9th November 2023Mrs Graves

On Thursday 16th November, we are delighted to have local book shop ‘Boggledybooks’ in school to run their brilliant value book fayre.

All books are brand new and £1, £2 or £3 so it is a great opportunity to get stocked up for Christmas.

They will be in school all day, so your child can bring in money and will be taken to the book fayre to choose a book. If you prefer to visit yourself, they will be in school till approx 3:45.

We look forward to seeing you then.

Team building in Year 3

2nd November 2023Lucy Wood

Year 3 had such fun outside in PE learning how to work as a team. They took part in a lot of team building activities that focused on teaching the children how to communicate effectively whilst solving different problems.

Year 3 PE

1st November 2023Grace Henderson

A new half term meant a new PE activity and today, it was team building exercises. The year 3’s started off with a warm up on listening to instructions to do the correct actions, before splitting up into groups to work on team building games. There were plenty of smiles to go around as they communicated with each other on completing the challenges and games. Plenty of children had worked incredibly well as a group and did as they were told.

Well done year 3!
