Read MoreDancing into 2023
Published 16/01/23, by AdminYear 3 have now started an exciting dance lesson every week as part of their PE curriculum. The lesson is being taught by a professional dance teacher, who will teach them a full routine by the end of the term linked to our topic 'Up Pompei'.
To get us started, this week, we learnt a few moves to a well known pop song by Meghan Trainor, to get ourselves comfortable with dancing. We REALLY enjoyed it and we even had the chance to do some freestyle moves - some of us have some brilliant moves on the dance floor!

Read MoreRemembrance
Published 25/11/22, by AdminAs part of our learning in Geography, we planned a route down to the Boxmoor memorial. We then followed the route all the way down and explored the memorial itself. There were lots of Poppy wreaths left from Remembrance Sunday, which we looked at in detail and read the notes to go with them. We all then looked at the hundreds of names on the memorial itself. After we had looked in detail, we stood in silence and listened to Flanders Fields while thinking about all the soldiers, who have lost their life during any war.
Read More(VERY) persuasive writing in Year 3
Published 19/11/22, by AdminOver the last two weeks, we have been working on persuasive writing in English. The children have absolutely loved this text type! They have worked passionately and enthusiastically exploring a range of examples and then writing their own versions.
The children's first try at their own was a speech with the aim to persuade Mr Weightman to buy a new slide for Tudor Towers. If I were Mr Weightman, I'd watch out! Some of these were very persuasive.... one even included threatening Mr Weightman with imprisonment if he dared to make the children of Tudor unhappy.
We then began working on our final version - a speech persuading the British men to join the army during WWII. We used Winston Churchill's version as our inspiration and made it even better. Take a look below at the children's speeches that they have presented on Adobe Spark Video. Click the child's name to view or scan the QR code :)
