Year 3

Year 3 have been practising for Sports Day activities today. Great fun!
 

Year 3 have been learning about light. They had lots of fun measuring  their shadows at different times of the day to see how they changed. They discovered that their shadows were around 30cm shorter than their actual height. 
They also carried out an investigation to see whether the size of a…

Year 3 were learning to read the time to the nearest minute today. It was very tricky. They used hand held clocks to help them and even matched analogue clock times to digital times. We hope to be experts by the end of next week. Any time reading activities you can do at home would certainly help.…

On Thursday Year 3 looked fantastic in red, white and blue. They all enjoyed a lovely outdoor picnic lunch followed by plenty of fresh air, making spitfires and colouring in. A great day to mark all of those who fought and died in WW11.

Year 3 started their topic on the Romans today. They saw the remains of a real Roman Fort in Maryport and deepened their knowledge through activities.

Year 3 attended a literary event at St Bees School where they enjoyed taking part in a carousel of engaging workshops. We met local author, H.M Sharpe, who guided us along the tale of an Irish princess through drama and improvisation. She has written several novels, among them a story about St…

Well done Year 3, for wonderful singing, behaviour and reverence in mass last week. Mrs Stead brought in chocolates. They watched part of a movie, ate popcorn and had an afternoon playtime to reward the wonderful impression that they left with our RE Inspectors. They said that all of our children…

Year 3 teamed up with year 4 to enjoy football matches and a penalty shoot out. It was so much fun!
