Amazing Advent Assembly!

Congratulations to all of Year 3 for their fantastic performances during their class assembly today!  Everyone had learned their lines well, spoke clearly and sang confidently.   Every person played their part brilliantly.  It was a lovely way to start the Advent season.  

Mission Impossible in PE!

Choreographing a dance to the music of the same name was no mission impossible for Year 3 this afternoon.  They jumped, spun and, I'm afraid, crawled around the hall.  During their performances at the end of the lesson we were particularly impressed by some dramatic scuttling and some wonderful facial acting!

Getting Ready to Get Ready!

At the end of this week Year 3 have begun thinking about their Advent assembly which is rapidly approaching next Friday.  As well as trying out a few songs they practised a poem, even braving a sunny but chilly playground to practise projecting their voices. 

Judaism in RE

And to finish off a very busy week on Friday Year 3 joined Year 4 to find out more about Judaism. They impressed with their knowledge and enthusiasm!

Time to Time Travel

On Thursday Year 3 stepped back into the past as they visited the Roman sites of St Albans and the Verulamium Museum.

Soon after arriving we found ourselves in a Roman market shopping for some very strange items.  We are were all very relieved that we could return to 2013 at the end of the day when we found out about the Romans love of using fish sauce as a condiment on all food and more so when we heard what a  trip to the doctors in Roman times could mean!

 We then explored the museum and the Roman features of the park from the hypocauste and beautiful mosaic floor, to the remains of the London Wall which used to protect Verulamium from Celt attacks!

It was a whistle stop tour of Roman Britain and we had a brilliant day.

A Sporty Day for Year 3!

The day started with an exciting and exhausting circuit of star jumps, spotty dogs and press-ups in the hall! Then with jelly arms and legs we all returned to the hall after break time for a presentation by Jibreel Malik, a Taekwondo expert and Olympic hopeful.  We were all impressed by his tricks and kicks and his dedication to his sport.

Looking Forward!

We are very excited about our trip to St Albans and the Verulamium Museum this week! Photos to follow ...

Year 3 Feel the Force!

In PE this week Year 3 put their new Science topic 'Forces and Magnets' into practise by exploring how different forces create movement.  They pushed, pulled, twisted and jumped all over the hall!
