There’s been a real buzz of creativity in Year 3 lately. As part of their recent theme work on ‘Kings and Queens’, the year group took on the exciting challenge of designing and building their very own royal carriages—and the results were fantastic. We are so proud of the resilience, creativity, and cooperation shown by Year 3 throughout this project. If you get the chance, do ask your child about their carriage—they’ll be delighted to tell you all about it!

Taking Flight is a short film inspired by the life and heritage of Antonio Pasin, inventor of the Radio Flyer wagon. It depicts a boy’s adventure that transforms into a larger-than-life journey.

For the last couple of weeks, year 4 have been studying the story of Grandpa Nono and the adventures he takes his grandson, Tony, on – traipsing through a jungle full of monkeys, cascading over a high waterfall down to a fast-flowing river, soaring through the skies, fighting aliens…

The children worked together on creating sentences to retell the story using their most adventurous and exciting vocabulary, descriptive powers and high-level punctuation. Individually, they have been asked to write their own adventures that this unlikely pair of explorers set out on.

Why don’t you watch the film ( Bing Videos ) with your child and then ask them about the adventures that they have described in their stories? Perhaps, you could describe what adventures you could picture them undertaking. Take this opportunity to share both your thoughts, descriptions and let your imaginations run riot. 

Today was our annual Break the Rules Day and the children had a great time showcasing their funky hairstyles, amazing outfits and eating their usually forbidden snacks in class or on the playground! We even struggled to recognise some children who had come in wearing face paints and costumes!
