Marvellous Magna

21st April 2023Lauren Gate

Yesterday year 3 and 4 went on an amazing trip to Magna. We explored all four pavilions – earth, wind, fire and water. We saw lots of exciting exhibits such as both a wind and fire tornado.

To top off all the excitement we had a workshop all about volcanoes. We tested the properties of rocks, looking at which were magnetic and which could float. We then used vinegar and baking soda to make our own erupting volcano.

The children were a credit to the school, with exemplary behaviour and beautiful manners.

Yesterday, LKS2 embarked on an exciting field trip to Magna Science Adventure Centre where we had an amazing experience for our pupils building background knowledge for our new expedition – Earth Shattering Events. During the day we explored the elements of earth, wind, fire and water with a highlight of watching the fire tornado. All children were an asset to our school and behaved perfectly.🔥🌎💦💨

🩰💫 Chance to Dance 💫🩰

During the Easter holidays, year 3 children were given the opportunity to take part in a 3 day intensive ballet workshop at XP school. During this time, children took part in choreographing a dance which was performed with 4 other schools for parents. The children represented our school beautifully and both myself and Miss Gate were given lovely feedback! What an achievement!

Fascinating Field Work

Our lower phase field trip to Magna proved to be an amazing experience for our pupils. Here, they further built their background knowledge of the 4 key elements of earth, wind, fire and water. The latter, of course, involved a ‘water play’ section which was tremendously exciting for the children and equally as stressful for the staff. It has been a great day! 😁

Welcome back Year 4!

17th April 2023Thomas Edwards

Today, we welcomed back all of our children from what was hopefully a lovely Easter break! In Year 4, we will be spending this week immersing ourselves into our new expedition! This term’s expedition, is called ‘Earth Shattering Events’ with the Guiding Question of, ‘What Happens When Nature Strikes!?’. In this expedition, we will be learing all about the natural phenomena which is found on our planet. The children began this learning by creating posters which highlight some of the natural disasters and landforms that can strike upon our planet. Lovely start to the expedition!

The Power of Life celebration event

6th April 2023Helen Jenkins

What an amazing afternoon we had at our Celebration of Learning event showcasing our fabulous learning of our expedition The Power Of Life: What Fuels Us? The children were immensely proud of the work they produced throughout this spring term and thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with parents and carers through our presentation, circuit activities and singing. Huge thinks to all those who attended.

Happy Easter from 3LG

31st March 2023Lauren Gate

After working hard all term, Mrs Jenkins and thought the children deserved to end the spring term with a treat day. We started the day with some Easter crafts, making Easter wreaths.

We continued our treat day with some baking. We all made Easter nests topped with chocolate bunnies, jelly carrots, mini eggs and fluffy chicks.

To finish the day off we had very special visit from the Easter Bunny which resulted in an easter egg hunt around school where every child got to find their own Cadburys Creme Egg.

A massive thank you to all parents and carers for your amazing support during the spring term. Have a lovely Easter break and see you in the summer term!
