National Storytelling Week

Year 3 enjoyed a live Zoom session with Alim Kamala. The theme of this year is 'Soundtrack your story' and Alim showed us how he raps to tell a story. We found out that rap stands for rhythm and poetry. We then had a go at writing our own raps about having a superpower. The workshop was so much fun and we loved rapping along with Alim.


Basketball skills

Today it was clear how much our basketballs are improving. Mr Williams went over some different techniques and tactics today like dribbling, passing and control. We discussed different rules such as not travelling with the ball and how a double dribble is not allowed.


Daily mile

We started our Wellbeing Wednesday with a Daily Mile today. The fresh air certainly woke us up.


Book Look

It was lovely to see our parents looking at all of our work in the book look today. 


Engineering in year 3

We have loved using our engineering skills to make our playground structures thinking about our design specification in our plans. We have cut, stuck, measured, scored, joined and collaborated. We will add our finishing touches later this week. 


National Careers Week Ambassadors

We are ambassadors for the National Careers Week 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity to raise our profile, expand our network, and make a meaningful impact on careers education both nationally and globally.


DT playgrounds

Today we explored how to make freestanding structures using construction kits before making our protypes this week. The children worked in team to create their masterpieces. We also looked at how to strengthen and reinforce our structures using tabs, slots and triangles.

We are looking forward to engineering our structures in our next lesson.
