Year 3 have been learning all about their Patron Saint Bridget. They attended church, learnt the St. Bridget hymn, listened to the story of St. Bridget’s cloak, did some fact finding and created their own storyboards, bookmarks and cloak pieces. A busy Bridget’s day.

Year 3 had a wonderful time in Rugby. What a super, muddy, excellent afternoon learning new skills and working really hard as a team. Many thanks to Mr. Telford who came in to teach us.

Year 3 enjoyed hot chocolate, cream and marshmallows whilst watching a Christmas movie. The perfect end to their busy week. A well deserved treat after OFSTED visitors were blown away by the exemplary behaviour of all children and their hard working attitudes. Well done wonderful children.

We got our old friend, Harold, out of the cupboard to investigate bones and their functions. We learnt that the skull and ribs protect our vital organs and looked at the skeletons of animals. Their skeletons were quite different to human skeletons. This was to help them to move in certain…
