A very warm welcome back after the festive break and a big thank you to all the parents and children for their thoughtful cards and presents.

The children have returned from their Christmas break with renewed eagerness and an enhanced attitude towards their learning. What an exciting start to the spring term Year 3 have had, starting with a Roman workshop last week. This supports the new class topic ‘The Romans’. The children dressed up in roman costumes and experienced what it was like to live in Roman times! 

‘Escape from Pompeii’ is the book that the children are focusing on in English lessons this term and they are really enjoying it so far. They focused on what Pompeii was like before and after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and used adjectives, adverbs and fronted adverbials to describe and compare the setting. 

In science, the children are learning about forces and magnets, and have been investigating how far an object moves down ramps with different surfaces.

The children were really excited, when we had a visit from the police in connection to our PSHE topic ‘keeping safe and stranger danger’. They were even lucky enough to sit in a police car.
