Extended Study – Whole School Artwork – Rangoli Patterns

13th October 2025Sophie Myers

This week, we will be celebrating and learning more about Hinduism. As part of our Faith day, we would love to create a whole school piece of artwork to display in school.

To take part, your crew leaders will give you a template to create your own Rangoli Pattern. They will also have examples that you could use to create your own. Use bright coloured pens or pencils to complete your pattern so that it stands out on our display.

Once you have completed your pattern, please return it carefully to your Crew Leader ready for Crew Council to collect next week!

Year 3 – World Mental Health Day

12th October 2025Claire Dutton

Friday was World Mental Health Day so to get us thinking about this, Year 3 spent some time in crew playing Pictionary to share the activities that they do which they feel are good for their mental health. Then we all chose one of these suggestions to take away and try for ourselves.

Year 3 – RE: How do Jews celebrate Pesach?

12th October 2025Claire Dutton

Friday’s RE lesson followed on from our previous lesson which taught us all about the story of The Exodus which is the reason for the Jewish celebration of Pesach (Passover). In this lesson we learnt about how Jews celebrate this special occasion together with a special meal called the Seder, where each item of the meal represents a different part of the story.

Why not ask us why they prepare lamb on the bone, a hard boiled egg and eat matzah (flat bread made without yeast)? Or, you could ask us why they dip sweet leaves into salted water and eat a bitter herb?

Year 3 – Active in English: Finding the Features of a Non-Fiction text

12th October 2025Claire Dutton

To help us prepare for our next writing project, Year 3 had a fun and exciting lesson looking at all the features of a non-fiction text and thinking about how we will include these features in our writing over the next few weeks. To warm up we played Splat the Word Class and Sort the Sentences … then we took a look at all of the non-fiction books we have in our classroom before working in teams to annotate the features we could see in our model text. Well done, boys and girls – you all worked so hard and we all got smart, too!
