Kindness Garden

During our most recent PHSE lessons, we have been talking about the importance of kindness. We discussed all sorts of kind acts that we had done and also what type of thing we could do to be kind in the future. We wrote down all of our ideas on flowers and added them to our friendship tree. Please feel free to come into school and take a look. 

Have you done anything kind today? 

Happy Birthday In!

Year 3C, would like to wish 'In' a very Happy Birthday. 

We hope that she had a wonderful day!

Soil Layers

Soil covers so much of the earth, we have been learning about the different layers of soil. Soil is made up of distinct layers, each has its own characteristics that make it different from all of the other layers. These characteristics play a very important role in what the soil is used for and why it is important.

A layer of dark fertile soil made from rotting plants lies at the surface. The, there's the top soil which contains plants roots and dead animal remains. The subsoil has fewer plant and animal remains but it has lots of minerals from the layers above. Finally, there's bedrock which is made of of rock fragments.

To represent this, we gathered materials from different parts of the playground to make examples soil layers. We began by selecting rocks from the car park. Then, we dug deep into the ground to find soil which contained  large rocks. Next, we dug shallow holes in the flower bed and gathered soil which contained smaller rocks. Finally, we made our way to the field where we scooped up top soil and grass. Whilst we were there we met a green little friend whom we named Roger!

Who knew that soil could be so interesting!?

Ancient Siam

Yesterday, Year 3 enjoyed a super exciting trip to the Ancient City. We saw all sorts of interesting architectural symbols as well as beautiful arts.

The natural environment was magnificent and we found ourselves ‘oohing and ahing’ for most of the trip!

The aim of the trip was to explore the history, culture and customs of Thai people. 

So, off we went...

Your behaviour during the trip was exemplary Year 3. We were very proud of you and are very much looking forward to our next trip - overnight!!!

What was your favourite part of the trip and why?

Would you like to live in Ancient Siam?

How would you describe the architecture that you saw?
