This week – commencing 15th June

We are planning to complete our moving monsters this week so don’t forget to bring in your boxes if you haven’t already done so.

Don’t forget that we are planning to have our own Ancient Greek Olympics on Thursday afternoon so bring your chiton (sheet/towel/scarf, etc) if you plan to wear one.

If you would like to make your own Olympic torch at home then we would love to have some.

We are continuing to make our own Spartan helmets out of papier mache so you are welcome to bring in from home any embellishments you many want, such as buttons, foil, braiding, feathers, etc.

Ancient Greek Mini Olympics

Year 3 will be having their own mini Ancient Greek Olympics.  The children are invited to wear their own “chiton” over their P.E. kits.  This can be a sheet, a towel, a pashmina or a piece of material, draped over one shoulder and secured around the waist with a dressing gown belt or a rope.  The children will be running so knee length would be ideal.  We have talked about this in class and I have worn our table cloth so all the children know what they can use.  Please do not feel the need to buy an outfit, I myself will be sporting a rather nice cotton sheet!  I hope that they all decide to join in the fun, although it is not compulsory to dress up if they would rather not.  We are aiming to do this on the 18th of June (weather permitting) so if they could bring it in at the beginning of that week, in a named bag, we would appreciate it.

Thank you for your support – Mrs Fairhurst

Moving Monsters

This week the children will be completing their moving monsters using pneumatic systems.  We will be providing balloons, syringes and tubing but the children will need to bring their own boxes, tubes, cartons, bottle tops, etc. to build and decorate their monsters.

This week – by star reporters Eve and Hannah

 

This week in History we have been making freeze frames of ancient greek battles.  We had to pretend to have either a spear, a sword, a shield, a chest plate or a helmet and talk about how good each weapon would have been in battle.

In English we are learning about poetry.  We looked at puns and riddles.  We had to match up puns which were a play on words, for example:  Where do polar bears vote?  At the North Polling station! We are going to write our own puns and riddles soon.

Underwater Street

Year 3 had a fantastic time at Underwater Street.  They made their own bubble mixture and slime.  They made a balloon powered car and a water powered boat.  Some children chose to make a bath bomb, a fridge magnet and their own walkie talkie.  On top of all this they explored lots of different science activities.  Photographs will be posted soon.  I just want to say how proud they made me, they conducted themselves very maturely and politely whilst we were there.  Well done Year 3!  Mrs Fairhurst
