Year 3 – Being Good Crew Members in our Local Community (during FWB)

29th August 2025Claire Dutton

In Year 3, our first week back has been ALL about exploring what makes a good crew member because ‘if we get crew right, we get everything right!’ so on Wednesday, we thought about how we could be good crew members in our local communities – both within school and beyond! Then, to put this into action we went out and about to litter pick in Thorne Memorial Park. We even found a little bit of time to play and rest, and to take in the beautiful boards there made by last years’ Year3/4 children … who knows where our beautiful work will end up this year?! The children were a real credit to us all and we were so proud of their beautiful behaviour out in the community – great job boys and girls!

Year 3 / 4 – Important Reminder – Roman Workshop

29th August 2025Claire Dutton

We are all very excited for our hook week next week where we’ll be getting creative and kick-starting our amazing new expedition all about the Romans!

On Friday 5th September we will be visited by a Roman workshop in school and all our Y3 and Y4 children are invited into school wearing Roman attire.

We still have a number of payments outstanding for the workshop so please don’t forget to pop onto ParentPay to complete the £7.00 payment for this as soon as possible so that we know we can still go ahead with this amazing learning experience.

Thank you, LKS2 team x

Y3 End of Year Celebrations!

17th July 2025Claire Dutton

We’ve had a brilliant last full day in Year 3 today. Starting with a sneaky performance of the Y6 leaver’s assembly where we were blown away by the beautiful singing and smart presentation of our Y6 students. And, ending with a mini leaver’s assembly of our own where everyone received their own special certificate … well done everyone! It’s been a fabulous year and we are all more than ready for our final day, picnic and summer break! See you all tomorrow …

Mrs Dutton & Mr Taylor 🙂

Bridge Engineering with Mrs Dutton

16th July 2025Claire Dutton

Wow! What a fantastic whole-school challenge we had yesterday. Children worked in mixed-age groups in order to design, make and test paper-straw bridges … some more successfully than others! A shout out to all of the boys and girls who worked in my group – you were all fantastic!

GT Arts Festival: Performance Poetry Workshop

14th July 2025Claire Dutton

Last Friday saw the return of our Green Top Arts Festival, a day totally dedicated to the Arts and performance – in all its guises! To start the day, children were able to select from a wide range of teacher-led workshops – from dance to cartoon drawing to music and singing – there really was something for everyone!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with the fabulous bunch of pupils who opted for my performance poetry session, where children worked collaboratively to recite and perform a poem all about different types of animals. I was blown away by the leadership and teamwork on display in the different groups, and even more so by the fabulous performances crafted by the children themselves in such a short time. Well done everyone! Mrs Dutton x

Transition: Our Future Year 3’s

11th July 2025Claire Dutton

This week, I have enjoyed a fabulous two days transition where I was able to get to meet my lovely new class and get to know everyone. We spent time exploring our feelings and zones of regulation as well as different creative activities. A big thank you to those parents who could make it to our share a book sessions, too. Now, I can’t wait to get started with everyone when we come back in the summer … it looks like we’re going to have a great time in Year 3! Best wishes for a beautiful summer everyone, Mrs Dutton x

8th July 2025Claire Dutton

A huge shout out to the children from Class 10 who performed in The Wizard of Oz … we were all blown away by your energy and pizzazz on stage on Monday when we finally managed to watch the performance.
