Just look at the beautiful work Almina created at home! She has made an entire ocean in a tank and included examples of pollution, which is harming our sea creatures. This is linked to our current expedition in Key Stage 1; The Blue Planet. She also wrote this beautiful piece explaining why it is important that we look after our oceans!
Well done Almina! I am very proud!
Please see the following letter regarding the visit to the library in January.

Our current expedition is ‘Not all heroes wear capes: How will I be a hero in my community?’
As part of case study 3, we have investigated the themes of kindness and anti-bullying. Today, the children made a video to share their reflections.
What we got up to last week:
In PE we have been continuing to work on our team work skills. The children were split into small groups and had the task of getting across the playground using only two skipping ropes without falling off. They were amazing!
In Maths we have been looking at subtraction. We looked at this in a variety of different ways.
Kindness Week: We have loved all of our kindness week activities as part of our new case study! We have made kindness badges (with the help of our lovely Year 6 students) to remind everyone to be kind. We talked about the importance of friendships and what it takes to be a good friend! We had a very special visit from some nurses for our Safe Touch talk. We discussed the importance of positive relationships, what they look like and the importance of trusted adults.
We had the snuggliest day on Friday to raise money for Children in Need. We discussed the different types of families that Children in Need supports and they showed great understanding about people or families that might be less fortunate than them. They had lots of suggestions on what we could do to help.
As part of World Kindness Day and Odd Socks Day, we have been thinking about how we can be special, stand out and kind.
We came up with some lovely suggestions to make sure we are kind and make each other happy.
In 1LI today, we have been working hard to create beautiful poppy artwork. We have used techniques that all the teachers were recently taught, by Joyce from Buzeman Art, to recreate poppies using different art techniques. We used pastels to create a background representing the changing colours of the battlefields. We then used string and acrylic paint to recreate the poppy stems, before using pointillism to create the poppies.
Mrs Ogle was so impressed she awarded the whole class Headteacher’s award stickers!
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!
