Good evening everyone!
Year 3 have had a fabulous week once again! They have thoroughly enjoyed helping Mrs Pearce in our garden area in front of school. They have loved every minute; weeding, digging, planting and watering. I can't wait to see all their wonderful vegetables growing!
They have continued to impress us all with their artistic skills too; this week the children have created more amazing Cezanne inspired paintings.
Our Anglo-Saxon and Viking topic is certainly going down well too; the children are loving every minute and learning so many amazing facts.
P.E. has been great fun this week; the children have now developed some super skills in althletics (hurdles, javelin and shot putt, to name just a few!!)
Here are a couple of photos of the children enjoying their gardening!
Have a super weekend!

We have had a very exciting week in class 3 this week! On Wednesday we joined a live webinar arranged by 'Read' and were delighted to meet the famous author Sophie Henn. She told us all about her fabulous 'Pizazz' books and introduced us to many of the characters in her books. She showed the children how to draw the main character too; their drawings were amazing!
The children have continued to develop their painting skills; this week Miss Monday introduced them to the work of Cezanne and the children all created their own landscape in his style. Again, the children produced the most amazing work.
This week we have been focusing on the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings; the children are really loving the topic, particularly the exciting Anglo-Saxon clips.
Finally, today we have all taken part in the 'England Does the Daily Mile'. This has been a fabulous national event today, with the aim of inspiring the children to continue walking or running every day in order to help maintain their mental and physical wellbeing. The whole school had a great time!
Have a wonderful weekend!

We've had a super week this week. The children have loved observing their science investigation progress; we have been conducting a fair test to determine whether or not all plants need sunshine, soil and water to grow healthily. We've been comparing cress to radishes and making observations as they grow in their different conditions. The children have been finding it very exciting! They are becoming fabulous scientists!
The children are certainly becoming amazing artists too. I am so impressed with the progress they have made whilst we have been focusing on Spring pastels and paintings. This week we looked at some of David Hockney's recent Spring collection and looked at how he had created the background before beginning his blossom trees. Here are just a few examples of the children's work. Miss Littler is currently in the process of completing a fabulous display of their work. I'll post a photo of it when it is completed. Next week the children will be working on Cezanne landscapes; watch this space!!
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

We hope you have all had a wonderful Easter. It has been a super first week back in year 3. We have all been delighted to welcome Jemima back and have been joined by Miss Littler too. Both Miss Hewitt and Miss Littler provide wonderful support every day now in year 3.
This week we have made the most of the gorgeous Cherry Blossom trees in our grounds, as well as the lovely weather too! The children have thoroughly enjoyed creating beautiful pastel drawings and have then enjoyed painting them too. Miss Munday, our newest member of staff, joined us earlier in the week to help the children develop their painting skills. The children were delighted to meet her and make the most of her artistic background as an art teacher in High School.
Towards the end of the week the children have had a superb time weeding and preparing our vegetable and flower beds outside our classroom, ready for some serious vegetable planting! Thank you so much to Mrs Pearce for all your hard work with the children. Mrs Pearce has thoroughly enjoyed working in small groups with all our class and class 4 too.
In class, we have been conducting investigations to find out whether plants really do need sunlight and water to grow healthily; it has been a little like a science lab in class 3 this week! We've been learning how to conduct a 'fair test'.
Here are a few photos of the pastel drawings and paintings the children have completed;
Have a wonderful weekend!

Good evening everyone!
We have had another wonderful week in year 3, with lots of super outdoor learning. We've made the most of the slightly higher temperatures this week; we enjoyed outdoor role play in literacy, landscape art and lots of hockey too. As the children have enjoyed learning all about pollination in flowering plants and have been developing super skills in art, they have created some amazing close up pastel drawings of beautiful lilies. Here are just a few examples of the wonderful images they have created.
I'm sure you'll agree, they are becoming wonderful artists!
Have a fabulous two weeks holiday and enjoy lots of yummy chocolate!
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews
