Year 3 enjoyed their final Gymnastics lesson with Mr Gilmore this week in P.E.
They had to complete an obstacle course using the soft equipment putting into practise the skills they have learnt over the course of the half term at each station including balancing, rolling and jumping.
After each run through, Mr Gilmore made it even trickier! Raising the level of the vault, adding in extra stations and even turning benches upside down!
Mr McCormack’s class were taking part in one of our Commando Joe sessions taking on the role of Ed Stafford and trying to find their way across the Amazon.
They used plenty of teamwork and ingenuity to achieve their mission goal. Well done everyone!
Year 3 have been thoroughly enjoying their weekly gymnastics sessions with Mr Gilmore this half term. This week they took part in a mini competition. Everyone performed so well, but there could only be three on the podium!
Class 7 have been building their own volcanoes today. They worked in pairs to create the structure using paper-mache, and in the coming weeks we will paint and (hopefully) erupt them. A very messy afternoon but great fun was had by all! 🌋
Class 7 enjoyed investigating which materials would be picked up by a magnet in a Scrapyard Challenge this afternoon.
The children held a magnet over a pile of different materials and recorded which of them were picked up by the magnet. They predicted that all of the metals would be attracted to the magnet, however, found this to not be the case after trying with a copper coin! We now know that not all metals are magnetic.
Year 3 had an absolute blast during their first Rugby lesson with John on Friday.
They learned how to correctly hold a rugby ball, how to throw and catch the ball, and played a little game of ‘Bulldog’ where the catchers had to try to steal the rest of the children’s tags as they ran to the other side of the field.
We can’t wait for our next lesson!
In Year 3 this half term we are going to be reading Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit.
The story tells the tale of two children forced to flee their beloved Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius erupts. While reading this book the children will be writing setting descriptions of Pompeii before, during and after the eruption, as well as writing newspaper reports of the events of that fateful day in 79AD.
The children are already so engaged with this story, asking lots of questions and linking their understanding of the story to their knowledge of volcanoes (our current Geography topic). We are so excited to keep reading this story!

Mr McCormack’s class had a fun afternoon with Mr Bird learning about percussion. I’m not sure if we’ve got the next Dave Grohl yet but they were all very enthusiastic!

Our children returned from Easter this week to find we have had a brand new set of playground equipment delivered for each bubble in school.
There are bats, balls, skipping ropes, hula hoops, footballs, mini stilts, frisbees, pom poms and cones to encourage children to play their own organised games.
We have also invested in some picnic blankets for children who want to spend time sitting and chatting to their friends in the sunshine!
Here are some of Year 3 enjoying their new equipment:

Dear Parents/Carers,
We are very happy to be able to welcome all the children back to school on Monday March 8th on a full-time basis. Unfortunately, we still have to adhere to the same restrictions that were in place previously in order to keep yourselves, children and staff safe and help to prevent the rise of infection from Covid -19.
This does mean we will still have staggered start and end times, (unless you have siblings in school, on which case you bring all children at the start time of your earliest child and collect all children at the latest finish time so that no learning time is missed).
It is important that only one parent brings their child/children to school to reduce the amount of people coming to school. This will ensure we can keep to social distancing measures in place as best as possible. It is vital that parents do not congregate around school premises when dropping off or collecting children as doing so could potentially increase the risk of transmission of the virus. We are very grateful for your support and understanding.
Please see the table below for start and end times together with their entrance for your child’s year group.
