In our Design and Technology lessons this half term, we have been looking at why it is important for us to buy food that is grown in our country, to try and help save the planet. Today we made vegetable tarts, they were yummy! Why don't you have a go at making them over half term at home.
In English, we began our new unit on Folktales, exploring famous stories featuring giants. We described a giant’s appearance, personality and home, using a word bank and freeze frames to bring our ideas to life.
In Art, we explored the work of famous sculptor Claes Oldenburg. We used paper and other materials to create soft sculptures of food, including ice creams, cupcakes, burgers and chips. Wow, what fantastic work, children!
Well done, Aria.
A wonderful Year 3 role model, inspiring her classmates to read by bringing in her favourite book to share with her friends.
History Field Trip
Year 3 have loved learning about local history over the past few weeks. Today, we enjoyed a local history walk, discovering houses dating back to 1663! The children showed great curiosity and enthusiasm, using their historical enquiry skills to explore how our community has changed over time.
In music, we have been learning the R&B song Let Your Spirit Fly. The children have added musical accompaniment to their performance and, through practising beat and rhythm, have been playing their glockenspiels beautifully!
Well done, Year 3! Our passion for reading continues to grow. Remae brought in her favourite book to share with the class, and we enjoyed reading it together at story time. Keep reading, sharing and inspiring one another!
History Newswatch!

We had fun on Wednesday when Mush came into school and showed us how to play handball. It was a fun lesson and a game we could play at breaktimes
Eleanor loves reading and recently brought in the latest Julia Donaldson book, The Gruffalo Granny, to share with the class. This was a lovely gesture and is helping to encourage a love of reading among her classmates.
Please bring your favourite book into class to share with us. We have a slot on our timetable for whole-class reading, which is a lovely way to end the school day.
We’d love to hear about your favourite stories and enjoy them together!

We drew our own castles as that is what the Normans built when they came over with William the Conqueror, they also built the tower of London.
As part of the Assembly there was an afternoon tea, so we decided to make the English pudding Apple and Blackberry crumble in a mini version. We even got to taste it in class too. Did you try it, what did you think? Have a look at us making them below.
