On Tuesday 12th March, some visitors from Tameside School Games came in to work with us. Five activities were set up including, Pirate Plank, Make a Racket and Zig-Zag. We were set a personal challenge which was to beat our own scores/times on each activity. We really enjoyed ourselves.

World Book Day

On Thursday 7th March, we celebrated World Book Day. We dressed up as different book characters, took part in lots of different book activities and, along with the rest of the school, enjoyed the story Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. Have a look at our photos and see if you can work out who we dressed up as.

We have started the second half term with our new English topic which is play scripts. On Monday 25th January, we worked with a partner and started to identify some of the features of plays and play scripts. We talked about plays that we had seen, including school plays. At the end of this unit of work, we are hoping to put on a play for the other Year 3 class....watch this space!

Rocks and Fossils

This term, we have been learning about rocks and fossils. We made careful observations of different rocks and used magnifying glasses to look even closer. In our books, we then described the rocks using interesting adjectives. We enjoyed learning about fossils and the life of Mary Anning.

After dinner, we dressed up as Victorian children and went round the different rooms in Clayton Hall. In each room, there were activities to do and we found out lots of interesting information. We had a great day out and we thank all the volunteers at Clayton Hall for a wonderful experience.

Our Visit to the Moravian Settlement in Droylsden

On Tuesday 18th September we visited the Fairfield Moravian settlement. We had a great morning and learned lots of interesting facts about the settlement.

After that, we took part in 3 activities which were looking at old artefacts, dressing up as a Moravian settler and looking around the small, but fascinating, museum.
