We started our assembly with a quiet check-in, thinking about how we were feeling. Lots of us were a little tired as it is our first week back after half-term...mostly the teachers! As we chatted, the hall felt calm and still. So then, it was time to wake up and shake up! The music started, our bodies began moving, and soon we were dancing our hearts out, with some brilliant cheerleaders leading the way at the front. After all that jumping, dancing, and smiling, we checked in

We have been waiting for a dry day for ages so we could take our maths outside! At last we managed to enjoy the sunshine this morning as we attempt to answer the problem of: Do the tallest people always have the largest feet? Whilst we have managed to take the measurements of everybodies feet and height, we have not yet looked at the results, so watch this space for an update!

Some of the work produced last term was amazing. The hard work and concentration that has gone in to them shines through. Here is just a little selection of some of the work they have produced. Well done Year 3!

Once again this term many of our children have enjoyed taking a trip to Glendale to read with our group of reading buddies. Depending on the age and ability of our children, each child reads their levelled book and then shares a picture book with the buddy or if a free reader, then the children take their chosen book to read aloud to a Glendale reading buddy.

This week is internet safety week and year 3 got to watch the live lesson on BBC yesterday all about AI and Chatbots.

We then designed our own Chatbot and included them on to an int

This term we have been investigating forces in Science. We have looked at push and pull forces along with whether or not they are a contact or non-contact force. We have also been looking at the different pulls of magnets. They can repel and attract as well as having a South Pole and a North Pole. We have investigated the different pulls of various magnets: horse shoe, bar, disc and spherical magnets. The findings were very interesting.

Last week was the first week of art club and as it was so cold we thought we would start with some lovely winter scenes. This week we decided to design the covers to our sketch books using an assortment of ways in which to make them colourful.

Before Christmas, the children took part in a wonderfully creative Artist Day, which blossomed into a truly special festive event for our whole school community. During the day, each class learned about a famous artist, explored their unique style, and used this inspiration to design and create their own beautiful Christmas tree decorations. These unique pieces of artwork were then displayed on Christmas trees throughout the church for our after-school Christmas Tree Trail. S
