Year 3 Newsletter

With a busy week of quizzes, year 3 have had some exciting activities to balance all the hard work the children have been doing in English and Maths.  French cooking with Mrs Moore and Mrs Milward went down a treat; the children loved making mayonnaise and practising their French along the way.  The added bonus was tasting it with some ‘frites’ (fries to you and me!) instead of the carrot sticks and celery that Mrs Smith thought they might have to dip!  A huge thank you to Mrs Moore and Mrs Milward for this fantastic experience for the children.

Forest school gave us more fun and excitement.  Tree climbing, guiding a blindfolded partner from A to B by giving them instructions using mathematical vocabulary, building homes for minibeasts, swinging on the tyre swing and birdwatching were just some of the activities that the children chose to do.  Done class had close encounters with 2 juvenile robins and spotted adult great tits going back and forth from one of the nest boxes with food for the young that we could hear chirping away. Towns class found a family of large green slugs curled up under a log. We are so lucky to have this incredible area for wildlife right in our school grounds.

Sports day was another fantastic day for all.  Mrs Williams started our day off with a street dancing workshop.  The children loved it and gave Mrs Smith an outstanding performance at the end.  Done class learned a bit more about India but mostly enjoyed making an Indian snack corn chaat.  Nearly all the class tasted it at the end, even fussy Mrs Smith who declared it delicious!  Towns class got creative making their own Mexican flags and enjoyed a quick pop quiz after making and tasting some yummy guacamole!

We are so proud of the way the children performed and behaved in their sports activities and races in the afternoon.  They are real team players, cheering each other and older children in their houses as they watched.  Thanks to all the parents that were able to come along to support them.
