3SG are safe and ready

28th February 2024Mr Schofield

In preparation for our field work, we have been looking at how risk assessments work and agreeing on rules for safety when we are out and about.

It was lovely to see lots of great ideas being shared from the groups, then collaborating as a class to agree on our best rules to keep safe on our trip.

3SG had great fun working in groups to create their own Haka (a ceremonial dance of the Maori people) as part of our dance module in PE.

It was great to see your ideas and scary faces!

We are scientists

Today, we conducted a scientific experiment to see what sides of the magnet attract and repel each other. We also found out that Earth is one big magnet, because there is iron in the middle of Earth.

World Book Day 2024

22nd February 2024Mrs Graves

We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 7th March.

It would be lovely to see the children dressed up as their favourite book character, but please don’t feel like you have to rush out and buy a costume!

£1 Book Vouchers will be given to children on the day which can be spent in most supermarkets and book shops, but we do also have a Book Fayre coming into school the following week, and children can put their voucher towards the cost of a book at that event – more details to follow soon.

More information can be found on https://www.worldbookday.com

Year 3 PE

21st February 2024Grace Henderson

The new term meant a new PE scheme; the children have started on dance. Today the children had learnt about what the Haka dance was all about. We discussed the use of emotion and expression, levels, and movements that were involved in the dance, before incorporating stance, facial expression, voice and moving towards positions into their own dance with a partner. Year 3 had so much fun with this lesson!

21st February 2024Lucy Wood

3F have had so much fun this morning in PE. Their new unit is Dance and today they learnt all about the Haka and where it originated from. They then learnt the steps to the Haka, along with practicing their intimidating faces and hand gestures.

3GS looking at environmental science

20th February 2024Mr Schofield

Today, 3GS discussed how human activity is causing the destruction of Arctic animal habitats.

We then wrote in our books about how this is caused, and what will happen if animal habitats are not protected.

I was proud of how hard everyone worked and the improvement to handwriting. Well done guys, the practice is paying off!

We are mathematicians

20th February 2024Josie Farrow

Today, we learnt how to divide a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number with a remainder. Miss Farrow’s maths class used matchsticks to help them work out the answers.
