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?

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)

The children in class 4 had a blast celebrating VE Day! They got creative with playdough and crafting their own vibrant flags to mark this special day in history. Some fun facts they learned today:

  • VE Day stands for Victory in Europe Day.
  • It marks the end of World War II in Europe.
  • People celebrated in the streets with dancing and flags.
  • Soldiers returned home to their family.
