Year 3s have had another busy and fun packed week!

In our Design Technology lessons with Mrs Dunn we have been learning about packaging and this week we looked at the different fonts that are used and tried to replicate the lettering.

On Tuesday, it was our last trip to the Heights after ten weeks of swimming lessons! We will very much miss our walk to the bus, our amazing bus driver who negotiates the various road closures to get us there safely, on time and with a different view each week! We were sad to say goodbye to our super swimming teachers but they were delighted to receive a card we made which included a drawing of each of us in the pool. The children have made such good progress over the weeks and I really hope they continue to build on the skills learnt, particularly living on an island!

On the ‘keeping fit’ theme we have joined ‘Active Schools’ and daily complete the imoves sessions – the children particularly enjoyed the boxing session as it linked to our learning in Science where we are looking at the human body – the role of the skeleton and muscles!

This week we learnt about the role of skeletal muscles, particularly the extensor and flexor as shown here by Mila, Finn and Rufus!

In our R.E. lessons we have discussed different views on gender stereotyping in our unit on ‘Angels’. This is Jessica’s wonderful drawing when she was asked to draw people in different roles. The children were very shocked to learn that in some places around the world girls and boys are not treated equally, and they felt very passionate about ensuring that they will continue to treat everyone the same.

Thank you to all our amazing parents who have supported the school this term.
