No Pens Day

We have loved No Pens Day in year 3 today. We discussed non verbal methods of communication and how Morse code is used. We then created our own secret words in Morse code.

Year 5 popped in to see if they could uncover the code as part of their secret spy mission. 


Opinion Continuum

One of year 3's oracy targets this half term is to play the opinion continuum. We looked at different statements and decided if we agreed, disagreed or were somewhere in the middle. We then used our speaking skills to explain why.

Many children agreed that children should get to stay in bed until 10 every morning.

Most children disagreed that banana milkshake was disgusting.

We had mixed reactions to whether children should have 30 minutes of screen time each day.


Show and tell

It was lovely to see so many children joining in with show and tell today for No Pens Day. I loved seeing all of their special items.


Equal Access Award

On Friday, we were awarded the Equal Access Award by the FA for ensuring our school has the same opportunities for boys and girls in football. Well done to Greenside and Manchester Road who also picked up the same award. 


Poetry performance

Yesterday Year 3 performed a poem to the whole school. We read a poem based on Spike Milligan's famous poem called 'On the Ning nang nong'

Our poem links to our topic and was called 'On the Stone Age hill'


Freddy Fit Fun

On Friday, Year 3 and 4 loved their session with Freddy Fit. 

They showed great resilience in the speed bounce, amazing flexibility in the limbo challenge and had lots of fun doing lots of different fitness exercises. Well done everyone!
