We have had a fun-filled week in year 3. Both classes have shown resilience when learning new skills and have worked well as a team.

This term the students enjoy PE, tag rugby and orienteering. During orienteering, we found treasure hidden on the school field and plotted it on a map. Billy’s favourite part was the challenge of trying to find the treasure first and Delilah recognised the importance of team work when finding the stations. In DT, we are designing, making and evaluating a bookmark. Willow enjoyed adding different stitches such as running stitch and cross stitch to hers. Sophie enjoyed her English drama lesson this week. The children acted out the journey of a pebble using their prior knowledge. Each group portrayed a different scene from “The Pebble in my Pocket”. Sophie enjoyed throwing fireballs made of coloured tissue from the crater of the volcano they had formed. They set the scene through movement and dance and some of the pupils preferred stage management and others were involved in set design!

This morning, we joined over 50 schools in the Diocese of Ely for Collective Worship! We enjoyed singing together in an interactive assembly. If you would like to hear the song we sang with the schools, it is named “Waymaker”. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wyotu9Twko

Next Wednesday 2^nd October we are holding a non-uniform day when the children wear purple and give a voluntary donation to help support those with a condition called Dravet.

We will be building a school to show how geography influences the way students travel to school. Please bring in any junk modelling materials that you may have at home.

We hope you have a restful weekend,

Mrs Keating, Mrs Jaynes and Mrs Tarpey
