Y3 Greek themed Business Enterprise

On Tuesday 11th June 2019, Year 3 held their Business Enterprise event linked to The Gods and Mortals topic - everyone (including staff!) were very excited and we had lots of Greek themed things to sell.

Mrs Begum-Wills organised a fruit hamper and Miss Williams created some cheese boards, (courtesy of Asda) as a raffle prize and the children iced cakes with Greek character toppers, sold crisps, biscuits and drinks, looked after the Greek dips and pitta bread, sold the photographs of their wonderful assembly and also sold the masks that they created in their D&T work.

Many, many parents attended and children encouraged them to spend money on the goods for sale. Aneesa in 3C won the fruit hamper and Hina in the Office won the cheeseboard.

Thank you to all who came to support and purchased a little something... we raised £250 for year group funds. Now just to decide on what to spend it on! ... Some children have had the idea of donating a proportion to our Hopeful Haven link and then using the rest for a year group trip to the park for a picnic and an ice cream before the end of term.

Stone Age Stewed Fruit

Year 3 have been studying instruction texts and as part of the process we made some Stone Age stewed fruit using a selection of fruits, hazelnut and honey as an added sweetener. The process not only allowed the children to get stuck in practically but also informed their own writing of instructions following the making of the fruit stew.

Peek into Prehistory

Usually,during the school year we take the children on educational visits related to our Topics. Sadly, recent circumstances have meant that this hasn't been possible. However we received some exciting news that the British Museum was offering virtual tours, an offer that was far too good to miss! Our virtual visit took place last Friday afternoon. The children were in awe of the building when shown by the tour guide. The tour guide explained to the children what her job as an archaeologist entailted and how we use artefacts to help us build a picture of what the past was like. The tour was interactive, with children able to ask and answer questions. One of the highlights of the sessions was the Prehistoric quiz on Kahoot. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience which helped to broaden our understanding of Prehistoric Britain.

Gymnastics 🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️

Keeping (and staying!) active is so important in everyone's lives and over the last six months, we have all taken a hit - but Year 3 returned to school, resilient in every way and have approached Gymnastics lessons with enthusiasm and perseverence. Last week we learned how to be a gymnast - walking like a gymnast and learning the names of some gymnastic postitions. The children were amazing in their Gymnast / Coach roles and by the end of the session could tuck, pike, dish, arch and front and back support well. This week, we have been looking at balancing and using our hands and feet in different ways,and using some simple equipment to build our balances Thank you to Positive PE for their amazing support in their training last year to help us make our PE teaching better. 👏
