This week we took our English lesson outside of the classroom and had a treasure hunt for words that include apostrophes. We have learnt that apostrophes can be used for two reasons: the omission of a letter or to show possession. The children went on a hunt around the playground to find matchings pairs. They had great fun!

Linking to our History topic of Ancient China, Year 3 have been learning about traditional Chinese food in Design Technology. This week they were able to sample a range of sauces, noodles and prawn crackers. After trying each sample (and a few mixed reactions), the children made notes on the appearance, smell, taste and texture. 

Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday for our visit to Kents Cavern.

The highlight of the week was, undoubtedly, the music concert held on Thursday afternoon. It was incredible to watch the Year 3 children sing their hearts out for so many parents and family members. I was blown away by the talent of the young musicians and singers we have in our class. 

The last lesson of our plants (science) unit was based on seed dispersal. The children had a great deal of fun making paper helicopters and watching them fly across the playground. This helped them realise just how far seeds can travel in the wind. Patrick was our record holder - his helicopter travelled from the middle of the playground, over the cars in the car park and landed safely, next to the climbing frame, on the school field!

Have a lovely weekend.

It's been lovely to see all the children back after the half term break. 

Today, all the children took part in OCRA's Quadkids competition. They all tried their best at a sprint, vortex throw, standing long jump and and middle distance run. The sportsman ship and support the children displayed was wonderful - well done, everyone!
