Year 3 English

As part of our English learning, Year 3 have been looking at the story ‘Greta and the Giants’.

Today, they enjoyed making their own placards about saving the planet and loved shouting outside Mr Cross’ office!

Music Assembly

Today, KS2 had a special visitor to show them brass instruments.

They were able to find out what makes a brass instrument different to others, how the tubing and size of instrument affects the sound and range as well as ask lots of questions!

What a brilliant opportunity!

Year 3 Bird Box making!

All of year 3 had a great time today making bird boxes! They had to show teamwork skills and grit and determination!

The children were excited to use hammers and nails! Look at our amazing work!

Year 3 Fun!

What a week we have had in Year 3!


We have enjoyed looking in more detail at ‘somebody swallowed Stanley’ focusing on similes. We have also been consolidating our column subtraction knowledge, learning about sustainability, including looking at mini models, performing our own raps which we composed on Shrove Tuesday and even dressed up for World Book Day!

Have a look at some of the things we got up to.

Year 3 Creativity

As part of English and topic, Year 3 are looking at how we can look after our planet.

Today, we read the story ‘someone swallowed Stanley’ and made our own kites out of old plastic bags. We had so much fun flying them at breaktime!

Y3 Les Herissons’ Writing

Les Herissons (and all of Year 3) have loved learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
Look at these amazing non-chronological reports they have produced in writing!
They have so much knowledge and we are all so proud of them.

Performance Club

The upper KS2 performance club treated staff and parents to a live performance after school today.

They showcased their hard work from this half term, presenting the song ‘a little circus’.

Their singing and choreography was amazing! We are very proud of their efforts.

Thank you to Miss Graham for using her talents to inspire our mini actors/actresses!

Year 3 Science

Today we looked at what our bodies need in order to survive. As part of this, we looked at the Eatwell plate and grouped foods into the correct groups.

We learnt that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat.

Year 3 Outdoor Learning

Year 3 enjoyed learning about garden birds this morning. Many of them said they found it relaxing to listen to birdsong while they sketched and bird watched.  Here are a few photos.

Year 5 Mandarin

In Mandarin this week, Year 5 looked at the Chinese New Year celebrations.

They enjoyed recreating the traditional dragon dance and exploring other festivities.
