Year 3 - AMAZING DINOSAUR HOMEWORK!

We are sad to say goodbye to the fantastic dinosaur boxes that were decorating our classrooms in year 3!

The children worked extremely hard at home to design a shoe box filled with dinosaur wonder! Now that our topic is changing to Egyptians, we have sent them back home for the wall of pride but here they are on the blog to stay! Amazing efforts- thank you parents and children! Take a look for yourselves at all their hard work!














Year 3 - Isis and Osiris! A tale of good vs evil!

Year 3 have been enjoying the story of Isis and Osiris, linked to our learning on Ancient Egypt.

As part of our English sessions, we have been working together to re-enact the story to help us with our writing! We used freeze frames to recreate scenes from the story, thinking about what each character might be saying at each point in the story!

Ask us at home and I bet we can re-tell the story to you really well in our own words!









World Children's Day 2018- Take Action!

Today is World Children's Day: on this day, many people and organisations around the world take the opportunity to reflect on how we can improve children's access to their rights worldwide.

Unicef are leading a campaign to put pressure on world leaders so that they commit to making sure every child in the world has access to their rights.


"Children have their rights denied every single day. We want to build a world where every child is in school and learning, safe from harm and able to fulfill their potential, and we know you do too. It's time to put children back on the agenda.

Sign the petition (follow the link below) and #GoBlue to call on world leaders to commit to fulfilling the rights of every child and acknowledge that these rights are non-negotiable."
In Elm, we wrote our own wishes for children around the world and used the hashtag #GoBlue to support Unicef's campaign- what would your wish be and why?

Reception - Wonder Writers in Cherry Tree!



CHERRY TREE WONDER WRITERS! 

In Cherry Tree Class we have been working really hard to practise our number and letter writing. In our lessons we have been learning special rhymes to help us remember the correct way of writing them and have used our independent learning time to have a go by ourselves.
