Children had a great Sport Relief. They were all allowed to come into school in their sports wear and they were involved in different sporting activities throughout the day. We were also lucky in Fern class as we had a special talk from Mrs Cooper on her journey through martial arts. Mrs C said how it is a sport which focusses on strength and agility. We wouldn't want to mess with her!

For our new science topic children have been learning all about light. Children have been setting up simple experiments, joined in with practical enquiries and created fair tests to discover that without light we cannot see. Children have recognised that light can be dangerous, darkness is the absence of light and light travels in straight lines.

In our history, we have been using Chromebooks to research about houses and lifestyles and how they have changed since 1066. The children have focussed on four periods of time, Tudors, Stuarts, Georgians and Victorians and answered questions from different areas. Children, diet, jobs, housing, clothing and they discovered a fun fact. We finally compared them as a class to see how they have changed or remained similar over time.

Children have been asked the question – What makes a house a home? This half term, we are going to be learning how lifestyles have changed since the Medieval period and how routines within Britain have evolved. Firstly, we are going to look at how we live today and work our way back through the Victorians, Georgians, Stuarts, Tudors and right back to when the first castles were built by the Normans in 1066.

Year three did a wonderful job for their year group assembly. We want to make an impact to our environment and what better way than inform the parents about our ECO BRICKS! These are the way we are able to reuse the non-recycling plastics and stop them going in to the oceans. Please see our Facebook page to find out how to make them! Thank you to all the parents for your continued support.

Children have been learning about Christianity this half term. As part of the beliefs and values within the religion, children have been thinking about how God trusted the prophets and gave them a vocation. Using active listening skills and communication skills, children had to trust their partner to deliver them across the obstacle course safely. Children then read the story of Noah and acted out the screenplay, something they have been doing within their english lessons.

We have been discussing key principle on how to type, log on and keep safe using the internet. Children have been learning how to hold their hands to type as well as what the different keys mean. For example- the space bar can give a space in-between words as well as stop a video, or pause a game.

This half term, we are looking at Animals including Humans in Science. We will be concentrating on our insides and how important it is to eat a healthy, nutritious and balanced diet. For our WOW we used salt dough and mirrors to recreate our own teeth! This was a sticky but fun activity which helped us understand the different types of teeth and their jobs. We also looked at pictures of animal skeletons and using art straws to recreate them on black card. It was so much fun to look at all the different bones!

It was a little bit chilly but the rain held off as Year 3 began their hike to Blackpool Zoo, bright and early! 'It's not far...keep going!' the teachers said. Finally, the children and staff arrived at the zoo and were ready for a fun filled day of learning. After a quick look at some animals, it was time for the educational workshop. Here, the children learnt so much new information including lots about diet and nutrition which links to Year 3's science topic this half-term. After a quick bite to eat, the adventure continued and the children visited all the different animals, finding out lots of interesting facts. As the day came to an end, the children had to find one last bit of energy for the walk home. We returned to school with some very tired children but a great day was had by all!
