Tree Planting

Date: 10th Dec 2018 @ 4:56pm

On Friday, Year 3 were lucky enough to be asked to plant trees in our school field. The Mersey Forest organisation and one of St Helens Park Rangers came to help us. We planted many saplings which will grow to help our environment.

Art Day

Date: 29th Oct 2018 @ 9:38pm

Year 3 looked at the famous artist Claude Monet. We found out lots of interesting facts and then created our own version of Monet's garden using finger prints and a range of colours. We produced some very effective pieces of art.

What did the Greeks do for us?

Date: 1st Oct 2018 @ 10:02pm

To introduce the start of our Learning Challenge 'What did the Ancient Greeks do for us?' we held our very own Greek day. The children came in dressed as Ancient Greeks and throughout the day we had lots of Greek activities. To start the day we learnt the Greek alphabet, made a Greek crown and then had our very own Greek Olympics. To end the day the children tasted some Greek food. Here are some photos from the day.

SPORTS DAY

There were some fanatstic performances from our Year 3 children on our sports day and the team spirit they showed was fanatstic! Thank you to all our parents for their support!

RANGER WALK

Date: 8th Jun 2018 @ 3:43pm

Year 3 had a fantastic time today looking at different plants in the local area with Scott the Ranger. We learnt some new plant names and how plants spread through seed dispersal.

MEDITERRANEAN FOOD TASTING

Date: 27th Apr 2018 @ 4:03pm

The Year 3 children enjoyed trying a variety of Mediterranean foods last week from Brioche from France and Chorizo from Spain to Ricotta cheese from Italy. They loved tasting and describing all the different foods, though they weren't so sure about the olives!

Stone Age Stewed Fruit

Date: 9th Feb 2018 @ 1:29pm

As a 'Final Ta Dah' to our LCC on the Stone Age the children made stewed fruit as they would have eaten at that time. They used lots of lovely berries, nuts and honey and then wrote instructions on how to make it. Most of them thoroughly enjoyed it; others were not so sure as seen in the pictures below!

Chef Academy

Date: 9th Feb 2018 @ 1:19pm

Year 3 had a fantastic time when the 'Chef Academy' visited our school. They showed lots of enthusiasm and their cooking skills were fabulous! They made sweet chilli noodles which looked delicious and I am sure they tasted it too!

Stone Age Day

Date: 14th Jan 2018 @ 8:04pm

Year 3 had an absolutely fantastic time when Clud came in to see us for our Stone Age day. They took part in lots of fun activities and games and learnt so many interesting facts. They got to hold a tooth of a woolly mammoth (which was the size of an ipad!) and feel some reindeer fur as well as learning how to make fire. The children all looked fantastic, a big thank you to all the parents for producing some great costumes. 

Erupting Volcanoes

Date: 18th Dec 2017 @ 3:44pm

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed erupting their volcanoes on Wednesday with some fantastic results! Some children even went and had another go at home! All the children have loved this Natural Disasters Learning Challenge and especially the exploding finale!

Making Volcanoes

Date: 11th Dec 2017 @ 4:07pm

The Year 3 children have been busy making volcanoes as part of our Learning Challenge on Natural Disasters. They will be erupting them later in the week so look out for the videos!

ESTIMATION STATIONS!

Date: 22nd Nov 2017 @ 9:05pm

The children in Year 3 had a fantastic time practising their estimation skills. These skills are so important for maths; to help them identify errors and make sensible guesses about what calculations will equal. The children worked in teams to estimate a variety of things; from letters on a page to pockets in the class. They showed an excellent understanding and used some fantastic strategies!

GREEK DAY

Date: 19th Nov 2017 @ 2:49pm

We had a fantastic time on our Ancient Greek day.

The children took part in lots of activities such as making Greek headressess, writing their name in Greek letters, creating their own mosaics, tasting some Greek food and taking part in an Ancient Greek Olympics.

Maths Board Games 2

Date: 19th Jul 2017 @ 11:32am

Y5 children have been busy making Maths Board Games for the Y3 children in the past week. 

Keibhy Powell in Y5 said, " First we looked at different types of board games which gave us inspiration and ideas for our own. We then planned our board games in our books and wrote down the instructions. After that, we looked at the Y3 maths curriculum and this was how we found out questions to ask the children. We then made it in real-life and made 3d touches to them to make them look more appealing."

Joel Thompson in Y3 said, "I really enjoyed the board games. They are really fun and no one is playing unfairly. I've been learning a lot of things like 6 X 50 is 300 and it was easy to work out!"

 

The children have all worked very hard and had a great time this morning.

Yoga Club

Date: 31st Oct 2016 @ 12:28pm

Y3 and Y4 have enjoyed taking part in the Yoga Bananas technique yoga sessions this Autumn half term. They have been learning about the different yoga asanas (poses) and breathing techniques through story, songs, games, partner activities and relaxation activities. They practiced using all they had learnt in the last session completing the Yoga Olympic Games.
