Year 3 were reading beautifully in our english lesson this week, they worked through the text together and it was wonderful to see them getting really stuck into the story.

Playtime Fun!
Some of year 3 and 4 enjoyed a game of ‘Star Wars’ at break time this morning. It was great to see children from all of the classes coming together.
Year 3/4 Crew Assembly
It was great for our crew leaders to share some lovely shout outs about individuals in our crews today. Those people who have really gone that extra mile this week and got recognised and praised for their super attitudes towards their learning, it’s wonderful to hear!
Also, well done to Crew Myers on being the overall HoWL score winner this week. I wonder who it will be next week spinning the wheel for a crew reward?
Finally, a big well done to Crew Myers and Crew Faulding on being the attendance winners this week too! Let’s keep this going guys as we want to keep building our attendance money up!
All block reading
We had our first session of all block for this week and what a great way to start of. All three groups were working incredibly hard and really getting into the text. It is a pleasure to see them enjoy reading and get excited about these activities.
Finding fractions of amounts
Today in maths we have moved on from equivalent fractions and are now working out how to find a fraction of a whole number.
Here they are working wonderfully, using counters to divide these up into equal parts to find the answer.
XP Field Trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park
Here is a whole group photograph of children in Years 3 and 4 from all the Primary schools in our trust visiting the Wildlife park on Thursday! It was so lovely to be there with the crews from the other schools, there was a real buzz around the park! Lovely memories made too!
Yorkshire Wildlife Park
Our visit today at the Yorkshire wildlife was a huge success. The workshop was great and we loved hearing about the polar bears and the impact climate change is having on these amazing animals. I feel the visit was a fantastic hook for our expedition and I am so excited for us to learn more about how we can protect our beautiful planet.
Hook Lesson in English
We had a wonderful first lesson in English, immersing ourselves into our anchor text ‘The Last Bear.’
We read this wrapped in our coats with all the windows open to experience the cold and while we read this sat in the dark the children all sipped hot chocolate like the main character April.
Mindful Colouring Club Year 3/4
Today is the first mindful colouring session and what a gorgeous atmosphere. All the children have been so calm and embraced the mindful side of this club and watching them take time for themselves and enjoy colouring and drawing has been lovely.
Yorkshire Wildlife Park Visit
The below will hopefully answer any questions which parents/carers may have about the visit which were not outlined on the letter that was recently sent out.
- We would like children to wear school uniform as this will make it easier to supervise and group children. It is also practical for the cold weather and walking around the park (We do advise comfy footwear – trainers are fine).
- We will be visiting the gift shop. The maximum children are allowed to bring is £10. Children do not have to bring spending money though – it is optional.
- All children will need a thick winter coat (hat, scarf and gloves) as we will be walking around the park either side of the workshops.
Thank you,
Mr Oldridge
