As part of their prehistoric art topic, the children in Year 3 have been up-scaling a drawing of an animal native to Britain using charcoal. We have been fascinated by cave paintings, which show how people lived in the Stone Age, and we wanted to create the texture of cave walls by breaking charcoal sticks and rubbing it all over our paper. We are really pleased with the results.
A group of 10 children from Year 3 were chosen to take part in the Golfways Skills Festival at Temple Park. For some children, this was the first time ever holding a golf club, but everyone had a fantastic time learning a new sporting skill. The children enjoyed the different challenges throughout and loved trying to beat their Personal Best Scores. Well done, Year 3!
Year 3 had lots of fun tie dying t-shirts as part of our art lessons.
Year 3 had a fantastic time visiting Segedunum. They had lots of fun learning about Roman life and ancient Britain.
Year 3 enjoyed their afternoon
We enjoyed a fantastic visit from GB Heptathlon Athlete, Lucy Turner. The children first completed their sponsored circuit, before enjoying an inspirational assembly by Lucy. The energy throughout the afternoon was electric and the children asked her some super questions. Thank you to everyone for your support and remember, you’ve got one more week to get your sponsor money into school.
Some of our Year 3 children enjoyed taking part in a tennis festival at Boldon Lawn Tennis Club.
Year three took part in a rugby festival at Boldon school. Three teams participated. The children demonstrated great team work and tried very hard. One of our teams came top of their group and won medals.
LITTERING
This week, Shay and Abbie spoke in assembly about littering. They told the school
that…
- Researchers estimate that over one million animals die each year after becoming
trapped in, or eating litter. - The most common killer of animals is plastic litter, notably impacting marine
animals. Each year more than 100,000 dolphins, fish, whales, and turtles drown after
becoming entangled or eating plastic. - Litter can become a breeding ground for bacteria and can spread disease through
direct or indirect contact with humans. It can also attract creatures such as rats. - As well as this, litter on the ground makes our local area look horrible. We should all
have pride in where we live and it is part of our responsibility to look after our
community and not litter.
We hope that this message will make everyone think a little bit more carefully about what
they do with their litter. If we all work together, we can make the world a better place!
