On World Book Day we were so lucky to take part in a Reading Escape Room!  Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 pupils had to escape Crow Castle by working in teams and taking a journey through the rooms via the magic of books. From MacBeth to Charles Dickens, Frankenstein and Sherlock Holmes, the children had to turn detective and search for clues. They had to read, infer, comprehend, spell, scan, skim and riddle their way to freedom, or face the Crow Queen and be trapped in Crow Castle. Duck

Our Eucharist service in church this week was led by our worship leaders carrying the cross, with Years 4, 5, and 6 taking part. Pupils who have been confirmed were able to receive Holy Communion. Throughout the service, all pupils showed good behaviour and respect, reflecting our school values. The service began with a hymn, then prayers, an opportunity to say sorry to God for any wrongdoings, an offer of peace to each other, and then remembering the Last Supper as Father Ch

In Art last term, Year 4 have been exploring how the way we present artwork can completely change how it is viewed and understood. We discussed how, when we create art for others to see, presentation really matters. This led us to investigate the role of the plinth in sculpture and how it can elevate, frame and even add meaning to a piece of work. The children were set the challenge of creating their own “Plinth People” by building dynamic figures that would stand proudly on

Year 3 have finally finished their fantastic flying birds and we could not be prouder of them. They worked incredibly hard on this project last term and their perseverance has truly paid off. We began by carefully studying photographs of British garden birds, looking closely at colours, shapes and features. The children then designed their own special bird for a Minpin to ride on, taking inspiration from the beautiful illustrations in Roald Dahl’s The Minpins. Their sketchboo

We have had a roaring start to the new term in Ducklings, as dinosaurs arrived in our classroom. The children were full of excitement and curiosity as they discovered all the prehistoric surprises waiting for them. Our little explorers became palaeontologists, carefully using brushes to uncover dinosaur bones in our excavation area. There was great concentration as they gently swept away to reveal their discoveries. In the creative area, the children made colourful handprints

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!
