As part of our volcanoes topic, we have learned about Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii. We are now learning about the people who lived in Pompeii called Romans. We have been looking at what life was like in the Roman times and have looked at mosaics. Yesterday afternoon, our parents came in to school for a Roman Mosaic Workshop. We created some lovely art work!
Here we are busy working with our adults.
Some fabulous finished art work!
Look at them all together!
As part of our volcanoes unit, we are learning about different types of rocks. We represented these rocks with chocolate. We used the chocolate to make igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
The best part of the afternoon was when we ate our chocolate rocks!
We had a fabulous week this week celebrating World Book Day. We came to school dressed as our favourite book character!
There were some amazing costumes!
The theme for World Book Day this year was ‘Share a Story’ so our day including several different storytelling sessions. During assembly with Miss Stathers, the whole school did a choral rehearsal of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ using sounds instead of words!
In the afternoon, we split into our houses to share a story. The teachers in each house read their favourite stories and then the children found a buddy to share a story with.
The older children were fantastic with the younger children.
We had a brilliant day and can’t wait for next year!
Wonderful characters in Hub 1 celebrating World Book Day!

Yesterday, we learned how to share objects equally. We worked in teams to share different objects into groups of two. We then counted how many objects were in each group.
After practising sharing objects using concrete manipulatives, we were then able to share pictorially.
This half-term we have been investigating Shape, Space and Measure.
We have learnt lots of new mathematical words, such as height, weight, capacity, heavy, light, balance, long, short, full and empty.
We have also carried out lots of experiments to test our knowledge, thinking carefully about why things happen and we have made some good estimations…exploring SSM was fun!
We are so proud of Jamelia and Chloe for being in the Gold Book.
Jamelia for fabulous progress made in Phonics and Chloe for having a super attitude to all areas of learning.
Keep up the good work girls.
For the last two weeks, Year 3 have been looking at money in maths. First they learned to partition money into pounds and pence.
They have also learned to convert between pounds and pence, add different amount of money and subtract money to find change!
Are you taller or shorter than an Emperor Penguin?
Our extremely talented resident artist, Miss Whitton, painted a life sized Emperor Penguin on our Hub door in order for us to compare our height.
