Our PE session today was a hot one! The children were learning and practising their fielding skills ready for our Summer term of cricket.
Please remember to send your child with a suitable PE kit and trainers every Monday, ready for our PE session. As we head into the warmer months, it would be good for them to have access to sunscreen, sunglasses, hats and a water bottle as we will be trying to take our PE sessions outdoors as much as possible. Thank you.
On Wednesday, we were fortunate enough to be visited by the Blue Cross Trust who delivered a really important assembly all about how to stay safe around dogs – big and small! Children learnt how to read a dog’s body language as well as the right and wrong ways to act around dogs to keep themselves, the dog and others safe. Why not ask your child if they can remember some of the warning signs that a dog might be unsafe for them to approach or to pet?
Well done to Arnie who has been sketching some images of natural disasters that are linked to our new expedition!
This morning, the children created scrap tornados to help immerse the classroom!
Thank you to everyone who attended the Year 3 Family Learning. The children had a great time learning new facts about mountains, volcanos and earthquakes in readiness for our new expedition; Earth Shattering Events!
At the weekend, Matilda visited the National Coal Mining Museum where she went on an underground tour! Whilst there, she managed to find a World War Two display that contained a ration book, linking back to the first expedition of the year!
This week, we were lucky enough to have Kerry come in to talk to the children about our new expedition. She was unfortunate enough to have experienced the flooding in Fishlake in 2019 and explained to the children how her family and neighbours were affected by this terrible event.
Today, we have been looking at the different layers of the soil.
This week, we have been looking at the different layers of the Earth. We then used this information to create our own cross section of the Earth, remembering to include each of the different layers!
We are excited to invite families of our Year 3 and Year 4 pupils to take part in our upcoming Family Learning Sessions, which will take place during the first week back after the break!
These sessions are a fantastic opportunity for parents and carers to get involved your child’s new Expedition. This term, the activity will include an outdoor element, so we recommend wearing comfortable footwear as you’ll be moving around the school grounds.
Session Dates:
We’re really looking forward to welcoming you into school. It’s sure to be a great afternoon of exploration, learning and fun!
