Year 3 and 4 had an absolutely incredible time watching the Women’s Rugby League World Cup. We loved watching the incredible sport and being a part of the atmosphere by cheering them on! A particular highlight is “to be watching England score all the points.” A fantastic time was had by all!
Thank you so much to all the adults that came to share in our children’s fantastic artwork! They have all impressed me so much over the past two weeks with their resilience, resourcefulness and relationships with one another. I hope you enjoyed the celebration. If you missed it or would just like to watch it again, the video is below. Have a lovely half term 🙂
There is no more 3H for these two weeks, we are Deer Clan! The first week of our arts fortnight has involved exploring making marks, pottery, mono-printing, dance and much more! We look forward to sharing all our learning with you next Thursday. Starting with plasticine, then moving to clay we began to create a coil constructed pot just like they did in the Stone Age!
We have also had such fun using what we already know about mono-printing to create Deer Clan inspired prints which are on display. We worked in groups of 3 and collaborated to create our masterpieces.
This week Year 3 have been immensely privileged to have had a visit from the poet Tony Peek who shared some wild and wonderful poetry with the children. We were also lucky enough to have a mystery reader stop by this afternoon to share a story with us.
3H have been enjoying learning all about playing chess. This week they have been talking about the knight piece and exploring how to use it. With such a great start to their chess journey, who knows what they will achieve next!
Today we explored designing a stone age tool!
We had an exciting opportunity to see a real stone age tool to inspire our own planning. We had a go at creating a stone age tool with some materials they would have used like flint, sticks and grass. Using all that we had seen and tested we began to plan and label our own designs of a stone age tool.
We love collaborating in our learning in 3H!

Good evening all,
This week in 3H we have been immersed in our amazing english learning. From learning all about the features of a finding story to story openers. We have loved losing ourselves in our fantastic story ‘The Egg by M.P Robertson’ and have produced some spectacular starts to our shared write stories using incredible weather, time, place and character starters.
Not only this but we have been so immersed in our learning we were able to well and truly take on the character of George from our story. We had several children on the ‘hot seat’ as George who acted brilliantly and used what they knew about the story to answer questions from the class. Questions like ‘Why didn’t you tell your parents about the dragon you found?’ and ‘How did you feel when you saw the enormous egg underneath your mothers favourite chicken?’
We hope you enjoy looking at our ‘George’s’ in action.
‘How did you feel when you saw the enormous egg underneath your mothers favourite chicken?’
In music this week Year 3 have been investigating pitch. We have learnt that pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of a tone. We explored how to identify if a note is higher or lower than the previous note.
Learning the ‘elevator song’ helped us to understand high and low pitches. We made sure to practice the chorus of the elevator song, noticing the pitch of our chimes. We thoroughly enjoyed using the chime bars to perform a classroom ensemble as well as individual performances of the elevator song!
