Year 3 had a lovely sports day and it was great to see so many parents and carers come along to support their children.
When I last spoke to pupils in our school, many of them said that their favourite lessons were the ones where they were able to write freely about anything they wanted. Therefore, we decided to hold a school writing competition where children were asked to write a mini saga – max 100 words about anything, in any genre. Some classes watched video clips that pupils could use as a stimulus if they were struggling to come up with ideas.
There was one winner chosen per class and all winners received a book.
Here are our winners:
Keevie Blackburn 3CL
Hannah Burden 3AE
Alex Coulson 4NW
Ella-May Grant 4NG
Sara Bainbridge 4KJ
Chloe Evans 5BA
Tyler Griffiths 5LR
Harvey Young 6FD
Gracie Smith 6GD
Carter Harn 6JO
We all enjoyed the great tricks and skills of the 3Sixty Bicycle Display Team.
Year 3 had a great afternoon at Boldon playing Tag Rugby.
The weather stayed fine which made it really enjoyable running, catching, taking tags and scoring tries.
Everyone played really well and showed good sportsmanship to others.
The Year 3 staff were very proud of them all.
The whole school enjoyed a week on discussing careers and what they wanted to be when they grew up. They were given a sum of money per class and asked to think about what they could make and sell as a class to try and make the most profit. The children learnt a lot of new skills and then sold their goods. 5LR made the most profit! Well done!
Here’s our Science Council Summer update.
We are continuing to grow and nurture sunflower plants as well and help look after pet tomato plants for each class. We continue to meet each week and this term we are also attempting to complete a #30dayswild challenge throughout June. Look out for photos of what we are getting up to and if you would like to join in and try this at home with your family, here is a tick list for you to check off.
Let Ms Drake know if you complete any of the challenges and feel free to find her at lunchtime to show her or tell her about what you have been up to linked to science and this challenge.
We enjoyed dressing up in red, white and blue. We learned about lots of events during the reign of Queen Elizabeth and then enjoyed recreating portraits of the Queen from a variety of times during her time as Queen. To end the day we enjoyed having a tea party.
Our Science Council are showing off their green fingers.
Year 3 had a great day at Segedunum Roman Fort. We trained to be Roman soldiers complete with shields and spears. We marched in formation and got ready for battle.
We visited the site of the original Hadrian’s wall and completed a mock invasion from the wall using soft balls. This was very exciting.
We had a tour of the remains of the fort and learned all about the buildings and people.
