News
Spring term was very busy in Year 3. One of the highlights was our Roald Dahl day, during which we celebrated all our learning that had taken place around Roald Dahl's fantastic books. We came dressed as our favourite characters, painted our teachers as one of The Witches and watched a great movie.
As always, we have been busy taking our learning outside. In some of the photos below, you can see us creating artwork for RE and completing our Geography topic by designing a settlement. We have also worked hard learning how to measure and convert measurements. In PE, we were lucky enough to have a real cricketer come to coach us this term and learnt so many new throwing and catching skills as part of some enjoyable games.
During World Book Day in March, we were able to spend the whole day enjoying one of our favourite activities - reading! It was great sharing books with some Year 6 buddies, listening to a different teacher read to us and entering a poem competition. We even had a few Year 3 winners!
We also loved our DT topic. We have been learning how to make mechanisms using levers and pivots and linked our learning to our English work by making a moving puppet from the story of The Minpins. We practiced different mechanisms, designed our own product, created a prototype, made a final product, performed a show with our friends and evaluated our finished puppet.
The term finished with our Whole School Reward for filling up the ping pong tub in the hall. We spent the afternoon creating Easter arts and crafts, reading stories, dancing in the disco room, building dens in the wildlife area and many more. What a fantastic end to a hard term's work!

In the event of school closure
On rare occasions, it may be necessary to close the school. This may be due to adverse weather conditions or perhaps when essential school services cannot be provided –e.g. heating, plumbing or water.
Please refer to the School’s Bad Weather Policy on our website for information regarding how we communicate a school closure.
Class teachers will then initiate home school learning activities, and these will be available to children by 10am of the same morning.
