Year 3 Awards

Well done to Year 3 children who received this week's Head Teacher's and Good to be Green awards for their amazing work and outstanding behaviour!  


Making rainbow without sunlight

In our Science lesson today we found out how rainbows are made. Then, we tried to make a rainbow without sunligh. We put a mirror in a glass of water and we flashed a torch towards the mirror. A tiny rainbow appeared from the angle of the mirror. You can't see it on the pictures but it was definitely there... If you don't believe us you can try this experiment at home! 


Well done!

Congratulations to our stars of the week! These children received Headteacher's Awards and Good to be green pencils. They have worked really hard and followed our school rules. Keep up the good work!

Whole School Poetry Competition

Next week is National Poetry Day on Thursday 7th October.

In school all classes from Y1-Y6 will be perform a poem to the school in assembly.

We would also like children to take part in a competition at home: please make up a poem about space as we celebrate space week on 11th October. 

Your poem could rhyme, it could be in an interesting shape, it could be acrostic. Any idea as long as it is about space!

Please bring in your poem to school and hand it in to your teachers by Friday 8th October if you would like to be entered into the competition.


Welcoming our Muslim visitor

Imran, a Muslim teacher visitor came to our school and taught our class all about Muslim's pilgrimage to Mecca- Hajj.

Children listened ever so well and Imran commented on how polite and well behaved they were, as well as respectful.

Afterwards children asked lots of questions about each stage of the journey. They then wrote what they'd learnt, see photos of their work.


Marvellous Mirrors

We had lots of fun learning about reflection and investigating mirrors today. First we found out how mirrors are made and how they work. Then we played a game where our partner pretented to be a mirror and copied our actions. We also wrote our names and used mirrors to create their mirror reflection. 


Testing Reflective Materials

In our Science lesson on Monday we conducted an experiment to test which materials reflect light best. We noticed that smooth, shiny surfaces such as polished metals and mirrors reflect light well. 


Friday Awards

Well done to our Year 3 children who received the Headteacher's Awards for fantastic work and behaviour as well as Good to Be Green recognition. Thank you for your hard work this week.
