This morning, we took advantage of the lovely sunshine and went outside on the school field to do some litter picking! We couldn’t believe how much rubbish we found!
Litter picking!
Fantastic football!⚽
This afternoon we had a fantastic PE lesson where we were practicing our passing skills. We discussed what makes a good pass and what this should look like. Children identified that we should make a pass using the inside of our foot so that we have more accuracy. Keep up the great work!
Roman towns!
Today in our expedition lesson, we have found out lots of information about Roman towns. We focussed on six Roman towns in England: Londinium, Eboracum, Viriconium, Isca Augusta, Deva, Aquae Sulius. We used a map to help us locate where the Romans settled in the United Kingdom.
Star Reader Breakfast! 🌟📚📖😋🧃🥣🥐
Another week, another set of fabulous Star Readers! 🌟📖 This week the children were all able to articulate why they had been chosen as their Crews Star Reader, from reading every day at home, to contributing great ideas in class to remembering all of their RWI sounds! It was lovely to hear how well they are all doing in terms of reading! 👏 We also discussed what books we like to read, our favourite authors and how to use the library! And of course, we also enjoyed some tasty breakfast treats! 🥐🥣😋🧃

Caring Crew ❤️
I was very lucky this morning to be able to visit Crew Thompson and what a lovely treat I had! The children were checking into crew with the question, ‘What is your spirit animal and why?’. The care and compassion the children held for each other showed how much this crew worked hard, to be kind. The children articulated beautifully why they were protectors, shy, resilient, emotional and many more qualities….. They supported and praised each other, I was blown away by the language used and how much the children had already adapted to the challenges of Year 3.
Exploring the work of Dennis Creffield 🖼️
Today we explored the work of Dennis Creffield. Dennis was a British Artist, in 1985 he was asked to draw every cathedral in England. To do this he used charcoal. We looked at how charcoal was created which linked to our case study on Firefighters. We began to create artwork in the style of Dennis Creffield by drawing our school. We used Austins butterfly to critique our work and improve it. We can’t wait to share our next draft.
How to be a Roman soldier – Plot point 3 ✏️
This morning we started writing plot point 3. First, we discussed what we was going to be writing about and picked out the important information from our text. We then chotted our ideas about the strict Roman disciplines and wrote a shared write together. We focussed on including fronted adverbials and coordinating conjunctions and came up with some fantastic examples of these. The writing Crew Thompson produced today was fantastic!
Little Red Riding Hood – What did she see?👀👩🦰🐺🌳☀️
During todays writing lesson the children were thinking about how Little Red Riding Hood traveled to see her Grandma and what she might have seen during her journey. They used their phonics skills to write the words and used small world figures and blocks to create the cottages. There was lots of great vocabulary during this activity which enabled the children to create brilliant sentences! What a great lesson we’ve had today ✍️
