This week in our expedition lessons, year 3 have been looking at how earthquakes are formed, in particular tectonic plates. The children used a jigsaw of the world to identify the 7 major plates. Great jobs guys!

The Coronation of King Charles lll 👑
What a wonderful day we had celebrating the coronation of King Charles lll despite the change in weather. During in crew, we designed royal book marks and played bottle flipping. The aim was to see how many times we could the bottle in 30 seconds. Well done to Henry who was the winner with 3!
A Musical Celebration
To celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, year 3 had a very special recorder lesson this morning. We all gathered together in the hall to learn a number of royal coronation themed music and learn all about how music is used within the royal palaces.
A healthy balance!
This week, year six began their gymnastics journey. Studying balance, the class first took time creating as many different balances as they could in small groups before looking at a mixture of solo and paired balances. Point balances included balances which were support by hands and/or feet whilst patch balances used broader areas of the body such as the back or torso.
The children were asked to create a four balance sequence including two point balances and two patch balances. However, each balance must represent a different fruit or vegetable. Imagination came to the forefront the class created some brilliant sequences, demonstrating control, composure and, of course, balance!
Tag Rugby Tournament!
This week, two teams made their way to Campsmount Academy to take part in a tag rugby tournament for year 3/4 and 5/6. Both teams played well, showing speed, agility and plenty of teamwork.
Notable mentions to Charlie in year 4 and Reggie in year 6 for their impressive performances and leadership during the tournament.
Marvellous Magna
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.
🩰💫 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!
Welcome back Year 4!
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
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
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!
