Comic Relief saw KS2 pupils participating in the second house competition of the year, this one being a netball shooting competition. All children from KS2 had the opportunity to represent their house and try and earn house points. Each class were split into their house teams and had 5 minutes to score as many goals as possible. All the goals for houses were then added together to give an overall winner. The winning house, with an impressive 124 goals, were Linnets who earned 100 points. A great effort from every pupil involved and a lot of fun had at the same time.

Year One showed off their God given talents as they presented an extraordinary assembly. Parents, carers and governors were the audience of ‘Channel Bourne Abbey’ and tuned into different TV shows where they learnt about four famous explorers from the past. They watched an episode of Dragon’s Den where Christopher Columbus was attempting to get the funds he needed for the voyage. Once he secured the money, we saw some fabulous acting from the children on board Columbus’ ship. Next, we were onto The Chase where all of the questions were about Matthew Henson, one of the first men to reach the North Pole. After that, we tuned into The Masked Dancer where some fascinating facts were given to reveal Amelia Earhart was under the mask! Finally, we watched Strictly Come Dancing where Neil Armstrong performed a dance and nearly got 10 across the board! We loved watching Neil Armstrong moon walk across stage. The children spoke with confidence, having learnt their words off by heart. The actors and narrators presented themselves brilliantly, the Strictly and Masked Dancer contestants danced enthusiastically and the whole year group sang beautifully. The children showed courage and bravery stepping on stage to such a full audience!

World Book Day 2024- WOW, WOW, WOW!

Matilda, The Hulk, Greg the sausage roll and Harry Potter were just a handful of the amazing characters in Year 3 today.

We entered school committed to dedicating our time to books and what fun we had doing so. Our classrooms had turned into Starbooks Café and our adults in Year 3 were dressed as baristas. We excitedly shared our love of reading with our parents and guardians who kindly joined in on the excitement this morning As we admired beautiful fiction and non-fiction books that had been hand-picked from our school library we were shocked to discover golden tickets had snuck in-between some of the pages. We read the books, explained them to the adults and received a special prize.

This term our green-fingered gardeners from Year 1 and 2 have made a start on weeding our vegetable patches! Student Council met recently to discuss the idea of growing more of our own food at school which hopefully could be used in the kitchen for school lunches.

As well as this, they have made eco-friendly bird feeders and planted bulbs.

We are looking forward to some warmer weather to start planting even more!

As we arrived in Year 3 for our very first day of Term 4, we were met with grunting, growling and banging drums. The corridor was eerily dark, the classroom tables had mud and berries smeared across them and skeleton parts scattered around. But that was not the bit that alarmed us the most. Our teachers and teaching assistants’ hair was, well, alarming! They didn’t look like they did last term, they looked like they had travelled back in time. Dressed in animal skins and mud across their faces they grunted at us whilst directing us to a strange caveman on the screen. The Neanderthal told us that he had fallen down, down, down into a strange world but where had he come from, which part of history was he a part of, where did he live and how did he survive?

 

 

To fully immerse ourselves in our learning, we squished berries and rubbed mud on our faces and wrapped animal skin around our heads and bodies. We were led to the most magnificent cave, a cave of wonders! We climbed through with tiny little finger lights which barely led the way. Shadows of prehistoric animals danced around the room, flames from a toasty fire flickered and stones of all shapes and sizes were scattered around us. We realised then, this was not just any age, this was The Stone Age! How unexpected, how brilliant! ‘Let’s leave our mark here,’ called Sanvi. We each collected a pebble and crawled out back to our classrooms, we carved away wonderful images of mammoths, people hunting and weapons into our very own stones.

 

 

How did the Neanderthals feel when cave painting in the dark? Well, we soon found out, we crawled underneath our tables in the pitch black and used charcoal to draw our very own pictures of what we had seen and learnt so far. ‘You need perseverance and patience when doing this,’ expressed Finley. We put our maths measuring skills to the test as we used chalk to draw the beasts on the playground. ‘Were they really bigger than a car?’ asked one of the children as they completed a life size model of a cave lion. It was simply overwhelming to comprehend the size of these extinct animals.

 

How did the Neanderthals survive in these times? Well, they used stone of course to carve and shape fierce weapons. It was our turn to have a go. Using only cardboard and string, we designed and created our own weapons that the Neanderthals would have successfully used to hunt animals for their dinner and clothing.

We left our very own mark on our cave, making hand prints by using crushed berries and drawing cave painting images of our own. We placed these inside the cave so that it truly came to life. ‘What a mind-blowing day, a day where the children have brought history to life. The best bit is we have this wonderful cave to use for our everyday learning this term, a place where the children can escape into the unimaginable lives of the Neanderthals at all given opportunities,’ explained Miss Fleming – Year 3 Leader.
