3LG have been in full baking mode this week in preparation for our Celebration of Learning. With a total of 190 cookies baked, we think we might have a few spares for a taste test!

Mayan Mask Madness
This afternoon, Y3 have been channeling their inner Mayan and creating their very own Mayan inspired masks. We looked at why Mayans wore masks and how they were designed before creating our own.
Y3 Unwrap The Bar
Last week Y3 kicked off our summer expedition “What is the cost of a bar of chocolate?” with an absolute bang! We started the week blind taste testing a range of different chocolates and discussing our favourites.
Then, we baked some delicious brownies to be sold at a bake sale to help raise funds for our final (top secret!) products!
We finished the week off in style, holding a competition to see who could build the tallest chocolate tower using melted white chocolate. We even built towers that were over 30cm tall!
Y3 Dream of Dancing
Chance to Dance 2024 is well underway with preparations for the final performance in full swing. With weekly visits from Miss Wendy, our chance to dance children have ween working hard to consolidate their ballet knowledge. Focusing on “The Dream”, the children have been thinking about making shapes with their bodies and different ways to move across a space. We can’t wait to watch the beautiful dance they produce!
Y3 Plant Trees
Y3 celebrated their amazing learning throughout the spring term by each planting a tree around the perimeter of the school field. We reflected on our guiding question “How can we protect our wonderful world?” and presented our learning to parents. We are very lucky that Murphy’s group donated enough trees that every child could plant their own with their own customised wooden tag.
Thank you so much to everybody that came and celebrated the children’s awesome work with us.
Y3 Are Magnetic
Yesterday afternoon, Y3 put on their scientist hats and been investigated all about magnets. We went around the classroom testing which items attracted and repelled the magnets. We also looked at what happened when we put different combinations of the magnetic poles together.
Primary School Christmas Musical
A massive well done to the fabulous children who took part in the Christmas musical last night. They put on a super performance, sang their hearts out and delivered their lines like oscar worthy actors. Their hard work, giving up their lunch times, staying after school and being pulled out of classes paid off, with them giving a performance of a lifetime. Well done to everybody who took part, we are incredibly proud of you!
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Christmas has officially hit 3LG with the arrival of our mischievous elf. Frederick the Elf brought the Christmas spirit and 3LG have offically got the Christmas bug! 3LG spent their Flexible Friday crew session decorating our Christmas tree and completing the exciting activities Frederick had brought us!
On Monday afternoon, we held our annual Christmas Crafts fair where children turned themselves into elves and created paper christmas trees and baubles. We had a fabulous afternoon and will be finding glitter around the classroom for weeks!
On Tuesday afternoon, we brought back the famous NJS Christmas Bazaar where children spent the afternoon going around the school and playing a number of different Christmas games. From pin the nose on rudolph to catch the snowball – NJS had all the Christmas games you could dream of.
Dipping, diving and dodging @ Trust Games Year 3/4 Dodgeball
On a very chilly first of December, a team of 10 year 3/4 dodgeballers has the pleasure of competing at Carcroft Primary School against the other schools within the XP trust. All played exceptionally well and demonstrated agility as well as great throwing and catching skills, which subsequently landed the team in second place overall. Well done to the other teams!
Y3 Take A Trip To Wonderland
Last week we officially kicked off our chance to dance program in school. This year we will be focusing on Alice In Wonderland and so started by taking a deeper look into some of the characters. We used our imaginations to pull best crazy Mad Hatter faces, hurry around like the White Rabbit, scare the people of wonderland like the Queen of Hearts and twirled and explored like Alice. We can’t wait to fall further down the rabbit hole as we continue to explore this ballet!
