World Book Day in Year 3!, by Miss Jones
Date: 2nd Mar 2018 @ 12:49pm
What an excellent World Book Day Year 3 have had! A huge well done to all of the children who participated by dressing up as a character from a book or bringing their favourite story in.
This year's theme was Share A Story. Our Year 3 children did a marvellous job of sharing a story with children from Year 1, by reading aloud and discussing their costumes with one another.
Our children also learned about lots of different authors and illustrators, and the inspiration behind the books they have written/illustrated. These include Cressida Cowell; Andy Stanton; Kiran Milwood; and Chris Riddell. Click on the link below if you want to find out more information!
Thank you to the parents for their continued enthusiastic support with our whole school events! Here are some pictures from the day...
3B Science - Understanding nutrition, by Mrs Kingsley

3B Art - Ancient Greek Red-Figure Pots , by Mrs Kingsley
Date: 2nd Feb 2018 @ 4:20pm
As part of our Ancient Adventures topic, this week 3B have been learning all about ancient Greek pottery. We have created our own red-figure pots with spectacular results!
Firstly, we chose our pot from a selection traditionally used in Ancient Greece, then we sketched and coloured in our pots in typical teracotta colours. The next stage involved us painting the whole pot black with a mixture of arylic paint and washing up liquid! This replicated the black slip that was used to cover the terracotta pots in Ancient Greek times. Finally, we used a cocktail stick to etch our traditional designs onto the pots.
We hope you enjoy our gallery!
