  As part of Science Week, Year 3 have had a fabulous time exploring the world around them.  From their interest in rocks and soils in Term 2, we have researched how fossils are formed.  We also had a keen interest in space and have created fact posters full of information.  We had a special visitor who helped the children learn more about the planets, focussing on their size and their distance from the sun.  We finished Science week on Friday with a live lesson about ampibians.

• Red Nose Day Donation Link - here

  Fri 15 Mar 2024

  On Friday 15th March it will be a non-uniform day and children are invited to wear something red, clothing or an accessory in exchange for a contribution to Comic Relief. 

   We have decided to support this national event as one of our

  climate change.

  This year ParentPay have collaborated with the charity and are offering a donation page for all their users which also allows Gift Aid payments and the funds go directly to the Red Nose Day charity. 99.25% of the donations from Donations Pages goes to Comic

  Relief and ParentPay does not profit from donations made.

• Year 1 Visit from the Company of Critters.

  Thu 14 Mar 2024

  "It's been wild in Year 1 this week! We had an amazing visit from Mango, the Bearded Dragon, Mrs Toad the British Toad, Clive the Royal Python and ----- the Giant African Snail! We found out about how scientists group and classify animals in different ways. Do you think our visitors were herbivores, carnivores or omnivores?"

   

  

• Circus Day for Year 3

  Thu 14 Mar 2024

  Year 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!
