Welcome back/PE day change

We hope you had a lovely, relaxing break. What a fantastic first day back we have had in Year 3 after the Christmas holidays, with the children coming back ready to learn!

This half term, the children will be doing their geography learning through forest school as detailed in the letter sent out to parents. This will take place on a Thursday afternoon, so we advise the children to bring a spare pair of shoes, such as wellies or old trainers, as the site may be muddy. They should still come to school in school uniform, but may bring waterproof trousers with them if they wish to.

As we are in forest school on a Thursday afternoon, our PE day has also changed. Year 3 PE will now take place on the following days:

Monday- Indoor PE

Tuesday- Outdoor PE

Thank you for your support with this.

Miss Dovydaitis and Mrs Hindle

Year 3 Barmouth trip

What a fantastic day we had at the seaside! The children used ordnance surveys to find a range of human and physical features, before tucking into some chips at lunchtime. We then took a walk along the sand in the sunshine. The children represented the school well with their excellent behaviour. Well done Year 3!

Year 3 Science in Forest School 16.11.2023

Year 3 had a fantastic time doing their science learning in our forest school area. The children looked at 6 different types of rocks and predicted what they were called. We then talked about what they might be used for based on their properties. Thank you to Mrs Jones for such a great lesson!
