Year 3 WILD Passport Day!

 

Year 3 had a fantastic time during their WILD Passport Day, taking part in a range of exciting, hands-on activities that developed their practical skills, creativity and teamwork!

We began by discussing the importance of tool safety and how to use equipment responsibly. The children then had the opportunity to use hammers and metal stamps to create their own unique designs, impressing patterns into leather before attaching their finished pieces to a wooden slice to make a special keepsake.

Next, we put our teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test by using tent pegs and hammers to work together to build a tent. The children showed great communication, resilience and determination as they worked together to get the job done!

Finally, we explored our creative sides by making bracelets and necklaces. This activity encouraged the children to practise their threading skills, develop hand-eye coordination and create something they could proudly take home.

It was a wonderful day full of new experiences, practical learning and lots of smiles. Well done, Year 3 – you were brilliant!

Year 4 Reminder - Greek WOW day

 

On Tuesday 10th November, Year 4 will be hosting a fantastic Greek WOW Day in school!

To celebrate our Ancient Greeks topic, children are invited to come to school, dressed up as their favourite Greek person – this could be a famous Greek, an ancient Greek figure, philosopher, warrior, god or goddess!

Throughout the day, the children will take part in a range of fabulous Ancient Greek-inspired activities, bringing their learning to life and making links with our exciting curriculum topic.

We can’t wait to see Year 4 transform into a wonderful world of Ancient Greece for the day! 

There is no need to buy an outfit!  Below are some examples of homemade costumes for inspiration. It’s a great opportunity for the children to get creative, use their imagination, and have fun making something themselves!

Year 3- Broadford Skills

 

What a fantastic term we’ve had in Year 3! We’ve been busy learning lots of new skills to help us stay safe, make healthy choices and become more independent.

We’ve learnt all about fire safety, including what to do if there is a fire and how to use the important stop, drop and roll technique. We now know why it is so important to stay calm and follow safety advice in an emergency.

We’ve also been practising our table manners! We learnt how to set a table correctly, hold and use a knife and fork appropriately, and show good manners when eating together. We also explored how to tie our shoelaces, practising this useful skill eis very important and helps build our independence along the way!

Another important part of our learning has been understanding the importance of healthy snack choices. We explored how the food we eat can affect our brains, concentration and ability to learn. We then put our knowledge into practice by making our own delicious, healthy snacks!

Finally, we had a go at using a tape measure to measure different objects. We had lots of fun practising this new skill, and everyone gave it their best go!

We are so proud of all the new skills we’ve learnt this term. We’ve had lots of fun, grown in confidence and taken another step towards becoming more independent learners. Well done, Year 3!

Have a fantastic Half-term and we looking forward to seeing you on your return!

Year 4 Subject Blog - Literacy

We have loved reading our book, The Bogey Men and the Trolls Next Door by Kaye Umansky. The children used their 4 R's (Resilience, Reciprocity, Resourcefulness, and Reflectiveness) throughout the unit! First, we explored the fun poetry in the book. We learned how to write funny 5-line poems called limericks using a special AABBA rhyming pattern. Next, the children wrote their own diary entries from a character's point of view. They started with "Dear Diary", wrote their events in order from morning to night, and described how the character was feeling throughout the day.

We are so proud of everyone's fantastic writing!

"I loved writing limericks because making the AABBA words rhyme and made me laugh!" - Riddhi, Elm

"It was fun pretending to be a troll and writing about feeling cross in my diary!" - Emily, Maple

"I remembered to write 'Dear Diary' first and put all the day's events in order!" - Inayah, Willow
