Summer Second Half

17th - 21st July. Our last week in Year 3! It was Nelson Mandela Day on the 18th July. Nelson Mandela was born on this day and it is a very special day. We have enjoyed watching videos and looking a news clips about why he takes such an important place in South African, and our, history.

We have decorated biscuits today!

We enjoyed some Pointillism today! We used cotton buds to paint summer pictures.

10th - 17th July. Science project week! What an amazing amount of work the children (and families!) have done for their homework this half term! We are so proud of everyone that completed their project, you should be so proud of yourselves! The rest of the school came to see them!

We held our annual house football tournament this week. Sharman won!

We took part in a really entertaining Samba workshop this week. We got to play different instruments, it was loads of fun!

We enjoyed making carnival masks to finish off our Geography topic, Brazil.

3rd - 7th July. We kicked the week off with revision of our Science topic, Plants. We went over everything we know about how plants grow and the best conditions to keep plants in. We also recapped what parts of a plant are called.

Mr Bourne organised our Global Games morning this week, it was so much fun. We were helped by Year 5 children who showed us how to play lots of different activities. Well done Harry and Rishona who were picked as best boy and girl!

We went to visit Year 4 this week to look at their Egyptian projects...we got lots of ideas ready for next year!

We have begun making our castles in Design Technology. We are using paper nets to make into 3d shapes to build them.

In RE, we have been learning about the symbols of Islam that are important to Muslims.

We enjoyed the bouncy castle that the PTA organised for us before the Summer Fayre!

26th - 30th June. We kicked off the week with a walk to Johnson Park to have a tennis session with Dan and Dom! It was such a great morning, we learnt lots of great skills.

The Talent Show was amazing! Well done to Rishona, Jess, Jasper, Isla, Charlie, Ava and Eddie for getting through to the final! Well done to all in our class that entered but unfortunately didn’t make it to the final; you are ALL amazing!

We held our own Wimbledon tournament this week. Noah got through to the Year 3 final! He fought hard but unfortunately lost to Louis. Well played, Noah!

We enjoyed a live dance lesson with Dame Darcey Bussell and Ore Oduba as part of Well-being Week. It was so much fun!

In Craft Club, we painted our salt dough fossils. They look amazing!

19th - 23rd June. Sports Day! It was so much fun, thank you to those that were able to come and watch.

In English, we wrote a character description of the Gruffalo!

In Design Technology, we started our new topic, designing a castle. We cut out 2D shapes to stick down to make a castle as the first step in making our own.

In Craft Club, we made fossils out of salt dough that we also made.

12th - 16th June. We celebrated our wonderful Dads this week as we made our Father’s Day cards and treats. We hope you liked them!

As part of our Romans topic that we did in the Autumn term, we enjoyed a live lesson about inventions from the Roman era. It was really interesting and a great recap of our knowledge!

It’s Healthy Eating Week this week so we took part in a live lesson where we learnt about how to eat more healthily. We also discussed how to create less food waste and how to use any food waste we do have rather than putting it in the bin. We then enjoyed some fresh fruit and vegetables...yummy!

In Craft Club this week, we used candles to draw wax pictures on a piece of paper and then painted over using watercolours. The paint didn’t colour the wax so our pictures were clear.

It’s time to choose our class School Council rep for next year! Lots of children wanted to go for it! We listened to each child, who told us about why they thought they would make a good School Council rep and then voted for the child we thought would do a great job. Congratulations Lexi!

We continued our Geography topic of Brazil by finding out information about Brazil and the people that live there.

5th - 9th June. We hope you had a restful half term! This week we were lucky to be visited by the Carnivals In Somerset Promotion Project who brought along their van for us to sit in to learn about the history of carnival in Somerset. We were also pleased they brought hundreds of costumes from previous carnivals for us to dress up in! It was so much fun and we learnt a lot. This links well with our Geography topic, Brazil.

Craft Club! We made pinwheels today in Craft Club. We folded the paper and glued sections together to create a circle which we then decorated using water colour paint.
