Enterprise Week

Year Three really enjoyed creating their wooly hat Christmas decorations for Enterprise week. They completed everything completely independently from start to finish and even wrote instructions to follow if anyone else wanted to make the same item.

Anti- Bullying Week

To help introduce Anti- bullying week, the children came into school wearing odd socks. This led to discussions about how it is ok to be different and how we are all unique. The children also enjoyed creating their own friendship poems. 

Black History 

For our Black History learning this year, the children has a very thought provoking discussion about black celebrities and superheroes and what changes need to be made for everyone to feel more equal.

They then went on to explore Martin Luther King Jr and create their own 'I have a dream' speeches. The children really enjoyed sharing their ideas and opinions. 

Year Three helped to commemorate Remembrance day by making their own poppies to add to the school display. They also  rewrote the Kit Wright poem 'I will put in the box,' but focused on what we would put in a special box to remember the people who died for us in battle. The children spent time outside next to our 'Flanders field' to remember and reflect through prayer.

This term the children are learning all about the amazing Ancient Egyptians.We have learnt about why the Egyptians had pyramids. The children especially enjoyed learning about mummification. They even made their own mummies and sarcophagus'.
