Royal Armouries!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
We've had a brilliant day at the Royal Armouries! The children had a jam-packed morning learning to be Spartan warriors and acting out the myth of Perseus and Medusa as well as watching a real life sword fight! We were definitely ready for our lunch! We then had the chance to look around the museum to find answers to lots of questions on all aspects of history before the coach journey home. Everyone should sleep well tonight! Enjoy the pictures and hearing more about it all from your children!
Thank you to our parent helpers!
Healthy Living
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
It’s been a great week this week! We have been thinking about all things healthy, from what our snack behaviours are and how to make healthy lunchbox choices to how to support someone having an asthma attack and throughout the week, we have worked on a brilliant DT project all about seasonal foods, culminating in some baking today! The children learnt about seasonal produce then taste tested them before choosing some to include in a healthy tart, which they enjoyed eating this afternoon. Well done on a great week, Year 3!
NB - Apologies some of the spelling sheets have the wrong date on this week but the spellings themselves are up to date!
Volunteering for the Royal Armouries Trip
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
We had lots of interest from parents to join us on the trip to the Royal Armouries Museum. If you haven't received an email from us today, we wont be needing your help on the 27th June but we do appreciate your offer of support.
Many thanks
Miss Jackson, Miss Christie and Mrs McDonald
Happy Hols!

A short half term but a good one - lots of super learning and fun! This week, the children have enjoyed competing in the Brownlee triathlon, continued with some artistic sculptures, written character descriptions of their favourite film characters and kept practising telling the time. Any further practice of time-telling over the half term holiday (both analogue and digital) would be really beneficial and please remember our PE sessions will both be on a Wednesday next half term with us taking part in Forest School, and other than that, just have a lovely holiday and see you back for the last half term of Year 3 in 10 days!
Rounding Off Another Week
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Another hot and busy week in Year 3 has come and gone! We've been writing for pleasure, telling the time and drawing some Dogman* characters using our super art skills! We also managed to choose the only non-sunny afternoon for our rounders lesson yesterday! However, it was good fun and the breeze helped cool people down after racing to score a rounder! Don't be practising too hard for the 2028 Year 6 vs. Staff match, please children!
*Dogman is certainly a class favourite at the moment and it's great to see the children so eager to read. Whilst we don't want to stilt the children's enthusiasm, please try to encourage your child to read a range of different types of book to support their vocabulary and comprehension, which we will also be encouraging in school.
A letter has gone home tonight about spellings - please ensure you have all 3 parts and let us know if there are any queries in time for the first week back.
There has also been a letter go home about Forest Schools. Your child should have a yellow highlighted letter or a blue highlighted letter which indicates their group. Again, if there are any queries, let Miss Jackson or me know.
