Year 3 Blog

Welcome to Year 3's class blog. We have lifted off to a flying start after receiving a letter from a pen pal Iza Jayer who lives in the Arctic Circle and needs our help to win a hot air balloon competition to England. We have begun our year 3 journey by getting very messy, designing and creating our own hot air balloons and the children have suggested that we learn to write back to Iza Jayer. In Science we have started our first topic 'Magnets and springs' and this week will be exploring bar magnets.

Yesterday afternoon, we had a VE day celebration with our parents/aunties and uncles, and grandparents. Everybody was dressed up as a WWII evacuee, we performed three songs, we did a WWII quiz and word searches then we had cakes, biscuits, crisps and sweets to celebrate the war being over and the end of a busy year! We had a lovely afternoon. Thank you to everybody that joined us. By PB

Today, we visited Rayner Stephens High School to sing in the Dukinfield Big Sing event. We sang 'When your a kid in World War Two' and joined other schools in singing 'The power in me.' We had a fantastic time!

This week is our National Sports week. We have begun everyday with a 10 minute wake up, shake up on the playground lead by our Sports Ambassadors. So far the children the week have taken part in a skipathon, zumba, cross country and sports day.  The children have been exploring France, learning about landmarks and monuments, speaking French, learning about the Tour De France, writing post cads and completed map work. Stay tuned for more 'exerciting' activities...
