Year 3

Year 3 have had a wonderful start to their year. This term has already seen us studying ‘Animals Including Humans’ throughout our science lessons. This has included looking at skeletons, types of joints and our muscular system.

Our reading and writing lessons have taken us into the magical worlds of Leon and the Place Between and Alice in Wonderland. We will soon be creating our own worlds to describe. Linked to this was our marvellous trip to Grimm & Co, which saw the children create their own story. We can safely say that we all had a wonderful time. We look forward to future trips and learning yet to come.

    Many thanks to everyone for bringing in plastic bottles; we received over 300!. We have created our Bankwood tribute to the many soldiers that fought and those who did not return home after World War One. Another well done to the children for their maturity during the special assemblies held this week.

    Sent into Space

    Last half-term, the school took part in ‘Classtronauts’ where an object is sent, videoed and tracked on its journey into the stratosphere. The y2 children built the astronaut and the y6 children are currently examining the data received. Current findings tell us that the balloon, and its contents, reached an altitude of around 32,280 m… Read more…
