Year 3 – Product in the Park: Lest We Forget

23rd May 2025Claire Dutton

What a beautiful day for a walk to the park! Today, Year 3 have popped down to Thorne Memorial Park to visit their beautiful remembrance display boards which were produced for our Autumn Expedition, Lest We Forget: How Does War Change Lives? The boards show our digital artwork alongside a biography of the soldiers and people they commemorate, as well as a selection of the children’s poetry about the blitz.

We are so proud of the beautiful work that is displayed here and the message that they present. Why not take a visit to the park over the half-term holiday and enjoy taking in the the boards for yourself?

Class 10 – Explosive Newspaper Reports!

Wow – I was so impressed by the enthusiasm and effort displayed by Class 10 for their final writes this week. We have been working hard on writing newspaper reports all about a volcanic eruption and it’s fair to say that the children have really let their imaginations explode for this task!

Year 3 – Telling the Time Homework for Half Term

22nd May 2025Claire Dutton

In Maths, we have been learning all about time. Children have recapped telling the time to 15 and 5 minutes on an analogue clock from Year 2 and we have extended this to read the time to any minutes past or to the hour. To help consolidate this learning please find some homework below that you could do at home over the half-term holiday. There will be 100 HoWL points for anyone completing the homework!

And, don’t forget, you can still practise telling the time just by looking at any clocks that you come across – anywhere! Why not challenge yourself to read the time every time you see a clock or a watch? Can you get quicker at doing this by the end of the week?!

Telling the time to 5 minutes – 3 levels of challenge! (includes answers)
