New Walk Museum Trip
As part of our Ancient Egypt topic we visited the New Walk Museum in Leicester.
We had the opportunity to learn more about life in Ancient Egypt, handle artefacts and learn about the mummification process. We were also able to take part in some fun activities which included dressing up as Ancient Egyptians, a food game and a mummification game! We all had a great day and have learnt even more about Ancient Egypt!

Design and Technology
As part of our light topic Year 3 designed and made their very own sunglasses. First we evaluated different types of sunglasses. They learnt about intended users and design criteria and how this is important to think about when they are creating their own design. The children really enjoyed this activity and they all looked fabulous.

Diwali Day
Everyone in Year 3 really enjoyed celebrating Diwali! After a very successful assembly we relaxed and had an afternoon of crafts and delicious food. Year 3 worked really hard learning their lines for our assembly and we were very proud of them. A big thank you to Mrs Dave who gave her time to help us produce such a fantastic performance!

Co-op visit
On 30th September 2019, children from year 3 and the Riverbank visited the local co-op to find out more information about Fairtrade. We enjoyed finding out about where different products came from and how supporting Fairtrade helps farmers in developing countries.
Roald Dahl Day
On Friday 13th September, Year 3 had a fabulous day celebrating the life and works of the much loved children's author - Roald Dahl. We were so impressed with the effort that the children made in dressing up as characters from his books and we were pleased to raise money for the Roald Dahl Magnificent Children's Charity. The teachers enjoyed dressing up too!!
Throughout the day we learnt about the life of Roald Dahl, made a collage of the Roly Poly bird and, our favourite part, made Snozzcumbers! We loved the children carefully cutting cucumbers and they enjoyed eating their very healthy snack! See the pictures below to share in our fantastic day!
