Year 3
We have got off to a flying start with exciting activities this term. We started with our visit to Sherwood Forest, managing to stay out of the rain for the entire day!
The children heard the tales of Robin Hood and his merry men, saw some artefacts and tools that they would have used to hunt in the forest and completed an orienteering task that helped them find out about the characters in Robin Hood's life.
They even took an oath to keep the secrets of the forest and to keep their bedrooms tidy!

Save the forests! Save the orangutans!
Year 3 have been finding out about what makes the rainforest such an extraordinary place. We have taken a 360 tour of rainforests and been in awe of the size of the emergent trees (25 classrooms high), the width of a single leaf in the canopy (7m wide - wider than our classroom!) and the sheer size of the buttress (wide trunk at the bottom of the tree).
We have watched a video of the plight of the orangutans that live in the rainforests in Borneo and Sumatra have wondered how we would feel if we were the orangutans. Take a look at some of our writing from this week. Next week we will be writing to the loggers to persuade them to stop.
Why not ask your child to try out some of the persuasive phrases they have learnt on you!
This week 3S had a visitor to share a story.
Mr Chapman loves Roald Dahl and came to share his passion with us by reading a snippet of Fantastic Mr Fox. All children were fully involved with actions. We had a fantastic time. Thank-you!
Fantastic Mr Chapman!
Welcome back Year 3
