Year 3 are using their iPads and science knowledge to write an account of their work
on Light and Shadows.
Our fantastic kitchen staff created an American style meal for lunch today to celebrate American Independence Day, and no matter what some children thought we were celebrating America becoming independent from Great Britain, and not the Earth being saved from an alien invasion!
Happy 4th of July

Wow look at the amazing crop of vegetables that we have harvested from our Vegetable Plot. While we might not be able to feed hundreds we are very proud that something has actually grown.
Thanks to Mrs. Davison for being our guide to the magical world of gardening, Mrs Parkes for her amazing ability to water the plot and finally to Miss Lenney for staying well away from anything that resembles a plant!!!
Look out for us next year, who knows what we will grow then.
Maths doesn’t always involve using a pencil and paper, sometimes you can make it big and colourful. Key Stage 2 children working hard to understand division.
Year 3 had a very special visitor last week, when Guardsman Jack McCord came in to see us. He told us all about Trooping the Colour and standing guard outside the Queen’s palaces.
We are very proud of an “old boy” Jack, who will be Trooping the Colour to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday.
Well done Guardsman McCord. We will be watching proudly.
Year 3 have become poets this week, I am thrilled with the ideas and pictures they have painted with their words. We used a box full of my memories as a stimulus, and I can now put in another memory into the box, their poem! Thank you Year 3, I think it is beautiful. I know some of you are creating some of your own memory boxes at home too.
My Magic Box
I have put in my box…
The soft velvet of a precious teddy with all the love it needs.
Full of cuddles of memory from times together that has been passed down the family.
A teddy still loved and as soft as a summer breeze!
I have put in my box…
A beautiful, delicate mug given to me,
Keeping my heart strong and carrying memories.
Well used and looked after, fragile but full of joy and happiness.
I have put in my box…
A baby blanket made with warmth, love and joyfulness by a beloved grandmother.
Soft like a newborn puppy, silky and white, it holds a lifetime of memories.
Sharing love and sweet dreams, a bundle of joy and a warm blanket of faith.
My box is made…
Of dust from the stars, silver ore and a sparkling emerald.
With love on the lid and family in the corners.
Its hinges are made of Willy Wonka’s sweet candy canes and screws that are diamond stones.
In my box…
I will surf on a rainbow wave
and ride on a talking unicorn.
I will dance with snowflakes while
Listening to the melody of life

Year 3 had a fantastic time at the National Railway Museum, Shildon. We were able to look at different artefacts, from whistles to some very tall hats. We even got to stand in the driver’s cab and find out how they would use the train engine to cook their breakfast.
The trains we looked at were beautiful, but we thought that we would like to travel in the Royal Carriage rather than Third Class, which has no roof. We were thrilled to see a replica of one of the engines that raced against George Stephenson’s Locomotion.
Everyone is very excited to have started this book today. We have already spotted some of the special phrases and descriptions that we found out about last week. So far we know that the old man is called Issa and that there is a camel called Jin-Jin. Can’t wait to find out what happens next.
This is the banner that Year 3 made with Mrs. Moore, to send to The Queen for her birthday. We tried to think of all the things she likes to do, what do you think of our choices. We hope that she likes it.
