Welcome to Class 3

Christmas Fair

This year's Christmas fair has been a huge success. A massive thank you to all those behind the scenes and on the day making sure all went to plan. How fabulous it was to see so many young entrepreneurs selling their wares and earning some well-earned pennies. Congratulations to all involved.

The Stone Age in Year 3

To start both our Literacy and History topic this term, we started with a fun introduction to it by building our own caves! The remit was that they could use what they wanted to make their caves but they had to be able to all get in it and be covered. It was great fun and they all completed the task set.

Road Safety Years 3 and 4

On Wednesday we had a visit from Ian at Kent Road Safety, who came in to remind us about how important it is to keep ourselves safe when crossing the roads. We talked about how we really need to be extra vigilant nowadays as many of the cars are electric and silent! We also found out that pelican crossings are all going to be changed to puffin crossings here in our region. Always find a safe place to cross, stop, look, listen and hold an adults hand when crossing. Even better

Relationships that shape us!

Today in our whole school assembly, we explored the special relationships that make our time in school so positive and meaningful. We talked about the friends who make us laugh, the teachers who support and guide us, and all the people who are there for us no matter what. Together, we created a huge collage filled with names and drawings of our special people, celebrating the connections that remind us that we are loved and valued every day.

Glendale Reading

During this first term, we have been back to reading with our reading buddies at Glendale. Some of the residents are very generous with their time on a Thursday afternoon and listen to our pupils read. The children enjoy reading and discussing their books and are always very well behaved. Thank you Glendale buddies.
