Escape!

The children were unlucky enough to be locked in the stock room during our science lesson on Friday afternoon! They had to solve clues about magnets to get themselves out - fortunately most did..!
What a Talented Bunch!

After a very busy week, we were all excited to see what talent the children had to offer this afternoon, and what a brilliant afternoon it was! From the Year 3s, we've seen dancers, poets, gymnasts, an artist and a magician! Thank you to all who entered and well done for being brave and brilliant!
Class Collective Worship

On Wednesday, the children put on an amazing job with their collective worship! I was so sorry to not be able to be there but Miss Jackson was really proud of the children for how clearly they spoke, their beautiful singing and the clear message about forgiveness they passed on. Well done to everybody!
World Book Day!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
World Book Day was a great success yesterday! Thank you so much for all the effort that went into the brilliant costumes - it really does make a difference when the children are all dressed the part and this year was particularly good! Luckily our very own banana was saved from the grip of Gorilla Routledge, the various Dogmen were on hand to keep order in the classroom and the wizards and witches blended in perfectly amongst the muggles! We had fun reading poetry, reading with friends in the sunshine and using our literary skills all morning!
Stump Cross Caverns!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
What a brilliant end to the eek the Year 3s had! From start to finish, the children were engaged and excited about all things fossil, rocks and Stone Age! We had a talk about the history of the caverns first then headed down to see them for ourselves. The stalagmites, stalactites and columns were very impressive - can you remember which one is which, Year 3?! The children loved thinking up new names for the different ones! We even went into a cavern where wolverine bones were once found and tried out a bed where one of the staff had slept during a 3 month challenge living underground - Oscar reckoned he could cope down there for a full year...but we didn't test that out! After a lovely sunny lunch outside with beautiful views of the Dales, we had the chance to build on our class learning about fossils and do our own fossil dig and ammonite fossil casting. A great day had by all!
