As always, thank you for your continued support.

History Van
The children in year 3 enjoyed their visit from the History van, where they were immersed in discovering the Stone Age, and understanding how to hunt, gather, keep warm and fed in the Stone Age. The children enjoyed taking part in activities such as creating messages in the caves and creating their own paint from chalk. They especially liked learning about hunting to farming, and constructing their own hunting weapons.
Time Table Rockstars
Year 3 enjoyed taking part in TT rockstar day. We have been focusing on our 3, 4 and 8 times tables. The children have enjoyed having a focus on Maths and building up their points on TT rockstars whilst competing against others and aiming to beat their high scores.
Fire Safety talk
In year 3, we have had a visit from the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service. The children were pleased to learn and participate in understanding about the dangers of fire and water difficulties. The children took part in a series of learning such as role play, problem solving, and group tasks. The children were able to reflect on their learning and discuss how they might put their actions into good practice, if it was ever needed in the future.
