Sports Day 2013

S P O R T S   D A Y

A fabulous day, sunshine, blue sky and cut grass.  The children enjoyed a round robin of activities to suit all abilities and ages.  This was followed by running races which were heavily contested. All results from every activity and race were collated and the winning house was ....... FALCONS!  The results were very close, each team amassing thousands of points.

The day was rounded off by very necessary ice lollies courtesy of the Parent Teacher Association - thank you!

Three Counties Show

As part of our Good Life topic Year 3 visited The Three Counties Show. The different events were brilliant and we had a great time learning about different aspects of farming. There was so much to see such as sheep being sheared, blacksmiths at work,  as well as meeting the celebrity Adam Henson!

Capacity

As part of our work on capacity, Year 3 had lots of fun estimating and measuring different amounts of water. We calibrated different containers, estmated how much different containers would hold and accurately measured different amounts in millilitres and litres.

Year 3 Visit to Coleford Baptist Church

 Year 3 have been learning all about  where, how and why people worship. As part of this work we had the pleasure of visiting Coleford Baptist Church. We had a lovely afternoon singing, sharing bread as well as developing our understanding of why people worship. We were also very fortunate to meet their visitors from Texas who told us all about the way they worship in their church.

Our Little Chicks

Year 3 are proud to announce the arrival of their little chicks. As we arrived in school on Tuesday we were welcomed by little chirps in our classroom as, over the bank holiday weekend, 6 of the 10 eggs incubated hatched.
It has been a very exciting week as each class throughout the school dropped in to have a look at our cute little bundles. Even the children from Coalway Playgroup dropped in to say hello!
A big thank you to Mr and Mrs Ball for arranging this exciting project for us.

New Arrivals

As part of our Good Life topic Year 3 have had some new arrivals in our classroom. We have an incubator with 10 eggs which we hope will hatch into chicks. We will keep you posted on their progress.

Gardening

As part of our Good Life topic Year 3 have been busy planting seeds in our vegetable garden. We have planted potatoes, runner beans,, broad beans, tomatoes, lettuce and strawberries which, once they have grown, we hope to share with the rest of the school.
This will help us to understand how plants grow and what a plant needs in order to grow.
Lets hope we get a little more sunshine to help them on their way!
