Year Three enjoyed learning about the importance of looking after their well-being. We started by reading the story of Tiny T-Rex and the Impossible Hug and discussed how regardless of what you look like, it is important to have a big, kind heart!

Afterwards, we all gathered around in a circle and we participated in a lovely activity. The children had to pour some water into a beaker and explain a worry that they had a ndonce the water was full and started spilling out, we discussed how it is very similar to humans. We explained that if humans take on too many worries and don’t speak, they will spill out with emotion. Then, we decided to remove a cup of water at a time and come up with strategies to explain how we could try to cope with our emotions when they are too much.

Finally, all the children received a kindness bingo card to complete throughout the next few weeks. The card was full of activities to complete in their own time and once their card is full, they have to return it to the teacher!

Just a reminder Year Three – each and every one of you are amazing!

This afternoon, Year Three have been busy practising their typing skills on the computer. As a class, we took a trip up to our IT suite and logged into the computers. There were plenty of happy faces as the children enjoyed trying to get quicker with their typing and tried to use both hands to type! Well done for perservering Year Three.

Year Three have been exploring the story of The Stone Age Boy. To start off our new story, the children enjoyed a fire with Mrs Crawford in the Secret Garden. They discovered how fires were created during the Stone Age using flint! Afterwards, the children returned to Year Three and wrote their own portal stories. We would like to say a huge thank you to Mrs Crawford.
