Year 3 had a fantastic day performing at the Family of School's conference at the AJ Bell Stadium in Salford in front of lot's of teachers, head teachers and deputy head teachers. The children did a brilliant job at remembering all of their actions and song lyrics! Well Done!
Today in P.E we did Yoga. We did a shark activity where sharks had to catch us before we got to a mat and stood in our tree position. We also lay down in silence with our eyes closed and listened to a story about a Ladybird. The ladybird sometimes landed on your body, it was very relaxing. I really liked the shark game because it was really fun and active. We enjoy team games!By Leeson and Ava (Year 3)

We have been very busy this week creating our own Stone Age cave and Stonehenge paintings! For this, we researched actual paintings found in caves and chose our favorite designs. Using our designs, we painted our cave art on to our rough surface using a variety of Stone Age methods! Some of us used our fingers, whilst some of us used a thin stick brush. We think our artwork is amazing!
