Rocking Around Britain Day

Year 3 enjoyed a day ‘Rocking Around Britain’ as part of the science curriculum.  They used microscopes, got to hold rocks and fossils,  learnt about the structure of the earth, types of rocks, investigated soils, made fossils, looked at minerals and even finished the day with some explosions! The day certainly ‘Rocked!’ Year 3 Team

 

French Day

Today we celebrated all things French. Pupils, all dressed in their best blue, white and red clothes, took part in a workshop of “Le Petit Chaperon Rouge” (Little Red Riding Hood) and “Jacques et le haricot magique” (Jack and the Beanstalk) where they got to play some of the characters. At break, French boules and skipping were available – even though the “elastics” became limbo bars at some point! Croissants, French fries and boeuf bourguignon were served by our lovely Catering team who also made special tarte aux pommes and Tour Eiffel biscuits for dessert!

Year 3 did the register in French, enjoyed sharing what they love about France, referred to lessons in their French names and used French for classroom instructions. They also played games on the computer and even tried to teach Mr B some French (some of you may be familiar with the sketch between Phoebe and Joe…!). Madame Simpson


Year 3 have been learning about Paris and its main monuments this term. They each had a part of the puzzle to colour, all representing the monuments we have seen in class. Today, for French day, they were able to virtually visit Paris with our VR goggles; the aerial view left some a bit unsteady on their feet! Madame Simpson
