The end of our first half-term in Year 3!

What a great first half-term we have had, here in Year 3! It is a big jump to go from KS1 to KS2 and the children have transitioned so well.

Over the last few weeks, we have been extremely busy learning new English and maths skills, studying R.E, science and geography. We have had a house team competition and topped it all off with a Halloween celebration!

In English, we absolutely loved reading about the mischief of Andy and Terry in The 13-Storey Treehouse - what a cheeky pair they are! We laughed at loud at some of the chapters and had a great time creating our own storey in the tree! In geography, we have learnt about land use by exploring the town centre and about temperate biomes in the school grounds.

In science, we learned about forces and skeletons, whilst in R.E we loved learning about Hinduism and their celebration of light, Diwali. We drew our own Rangoli patterns and made our own puja tray.

Darwin took the victory for our phase in the bench ball competition and wow! You lot turned it up a notch this year when it came to Halloween costumes! There were more homemade costumes than ever and everyone really went to town. It was so hard for the VOC to judge the winners of our phase but there was a winner from Y4 and two winners from Y3 - Jamie Gibbon and Luna Hall!

We hope that you all have a great half-term holiday, enjoy Halloween and stay safe out there!
