As part of the make £5 grow with Virgin money, year 3 have been busy. We have been making lots of lovely Christmas gifts to sell, including sweets, hot chocolate cones, bracelets and cookie jars. Please come and see us in the hub before and after the Christmas productions to grab yourself a bargain. We hope to make a big profit for the year 3 classroom. ☃️🏽🤶🏼

Year 3 have had such an adventure visiting the Roman Fort!
We have created a Roman frieze frame based on artefacts and this will form part of our class display.
Over this half term there have been lots of interesting facts and fun activities carried out.
Did you know that the Romans invaded Britain over 2000 years ago?
YEAR 2 – POLAR EXPRESS DAY
This afternoon, the children in Year 2 were thrilled to find out that Mrs Martin was so impressed by their letters this week that she has given permission for the children to have their very own Polar Express Day.
On Wednesday 18th December, the Year 2 pupils are permitted to wear their pyjamas and dressing gowns for school. They may also bring in a small teddy and a pair of slippers – if they wish.
Throughout the day, the children will be taking part in Christmas crafts, biscuit decorating and they will also watch The Polar Express film with hot chocolate and other treats.
All of the children (as well as Miss Haygarth and Miss Mensforth) are extremely excited to have their own special day to celebrate the end of their English novel.
On Friday 22nd November 2019, two members of the team from the RNLI came into school to deliver a workshop to the children to teach them about water safety. The children thoroughly enjoyed their sessions.
On Tuesday, Year 2 started reading their new novel in English – The Polar Express.
The children thought it would be exciting to have their own Polar Express day in school. Therefore, they have started writing letters to Mrs Martin to persuade her to give permission for a special day wearing pyjamas, drinking yummy hot chocolate and watching the fantastic film.
Fingers crossed Mrs Martin says yes when she reads the letters.
Keep posted to find out her answer.
This morning some of our children from Key Stage 2 travelled to ASDA to sing Christmas songs. They were all in fine voice and did really well. They made lots of money for the school.
Click the links below to watch short clips of the children singing.
On Monday afternoon, Year 2 enjoyed making a range of salt dough Christmas decorations. The children also wrapped bars of yummy chocolate and turned them into Santa’s and snowmen.
All of the gifts the children are making will be available to buy during the Christmas Productions next week.
