Circus Day for Year 3
Thu 14 Mar 2024Year 3 had a fabulous day on Thursday learning a range of new circus skills. It was wonderful to see everyone try something new. Their perseverance, determination and encouragement was incredible. The children all had opportunities to juggle scarves, balance peacock feathers and spin plates. They have walked along the tightrope, used the stilts and wheely balance boards and have experimented with diablos and the flower sticks - they had a fabulous day!!!
Having practised different skills, the children then worked in groups to prepare small performances to their parents.
Thank you so much to our fabulous FSM and parent community as this extra-curricular day was funded by cake sales!

Year 3 Poetry Skills
Fri 08 Mar 2024Year 3 have had a creative time developing their poetry skills.
Over the last two weeks, they have tried really hard to create calligrams, list poems, descriptive poems and silly poems. They had to think carefully about rhyming words, alliteration, similes, repetition and word choices. They also had to think about layout and word order in order to make their poems rhythmic.
Well done Year 3 for trying so hard, it was great to listen to some of your favourite poems too!
