Meet the teacher!
WELCOME!
Welcome to our new , updated website!
The children have settled beautifully into Year 3 and are working really hard already!
Here are a few notices...
PE and Games are on Tuesday and Wednesdays. Please send in both outdoor and indoor kits and please label the children's belongings.
If your child has recently had their ears pierced, they are able to take part in PE with plasters over their ears until they are healed. Children should only have stud earrings, not hoops!
Your child will be learning the recorder in Year 3 and will be bringing a school instrument home from next week. Please can they practise at home and they will need to bring their recorder in every Monday for their lesson. We are really excited about playing!
Look out for the TT Rockstar battles each week. Just five minutes in the evening will make a huge difference!
The Beatles Day
This special day celebrated the Arts - music and art in school. We enjoyed a school assembly, singing some Beatles' favourites - Octopus's Garden, Blackbird and a medley of all the band's greatest hits. Then in class we created some amazing artwork, looking at the artist Heinz Edelmann, decorating a picture of ourselves wearing The Beatles' costumes. We also played an accompaniment to our favourite song - Blackbird.
Blackbird-class band!

Mr Barnes and Mr Harding bought in some original records and we were able to experience listening to a record player, just as people would have done in the 60s and 70s...

How does it work?

As a bit of a fundraiser, we were able to bring in some pennies to create a long 'Penny Lane' - it started in the quad, spiralling around and around and then running into the big playground.
Our very long ‘Penny Lane’!







We had great fun re-enacting The Beatles cover for Abbey Road by crossing the zebra crossing in true Beatles fashion!
Sports Day
We had beautiful weather for the annual sports extravaganza. Here are some of the highlights...

Number Day 2023
We have had an excellent Number Day! It all started with some amazing number costumes...
Then, straight after our Celebration assembly, we got handed the times tables challenge baton and we were off...

Speedy calculations!

Leader of the pack!




Next, we had 16 challenge questions to complete in our maths books, using a range of different written calculations.


Time on TTRockstars
After play, despite the miserable weather, we took part in an orienteering challenge in pairs. The children raced around for 45 minutes answering lots of number calculations.
Number fun

It’s a challenge!



After dinner, we met up with Class 1KR to make a maths game together. We designed a board game based on our own choice of theme and with the Year 1 children in mind. We had great fun sharing ideas and working on a team project.


Finally, we ended an absolutely great day with a couple of class games of 11s, where we put our strategic skills into action.
Visit from the R.N.L.I
We have had an excellent visit from the R.N.L.I today! It was a really important visit as we live close to the sea. We were given lots of good advice about keeping safe near the water and strategies and tips about what we should do if we see anyone in danger in water.
Our Amazing Production!
Here we are in our costumes, ready for our production!









Have a listen to our amazing singing in rehearsals...

Stone Age Dwellings
We had great fun constructing a nomadic dwelling similar to the ones Stone Age people used. We worked well with our partners and showed excellent resilience.












We all enjoyed a visit from Tanzii TV today who talked about the importance of exercise and eating healthily.
