Y3SC Litter Pick

7th April 2022s cox

The fabulous Anne Malabar from ground works came to visit us to complete a litter pick.

First we had a discussion about how litter affect people and animals…and the world. Then we got into groups of 3/4 and everyone had a job to do. We had a bag holder, a tally keeper and a litter picker. Everyone swapped roles after 8 minutes so we all had a turn.

We only managed to get to the school car park before we saw tonnes of litter. We set to work straight away and hopefully improved the environment around our school.

Once we got back, we counted the tallies and checked who collected the most litter.

Team collected 96 pieces

Team collected 82 pieces

Team 3 collected 110 pieces

team 4 collected 41 pieces

Team 5 collected 78 pieces.

All just from our school car park!

James said he felt guilty that we’ve let our school get this way.

Piper said she felt disgusted.

Maisie felt excited because it was fun to do something nice for our school.

We hope to work with Anne again soon on our next venture! We had a great morning. She was also an expert at learning all of our names.

 

 

Y3 Waterstones Visit

3rd March 2022s cox

Today year 3 got to spend their World Book Day vouchers at Waterstones in Newcastle Town centre.

We were welcomed and entertained by Johnny who had us all in the palm of his hand with his storytelling and engrossed with his mind reading talents! (Even the adults too!) The spooky sound effects made such a difference when we were listening to the stories. We can’t wait to visit again, especially when the immersion chair is in place.

Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay any longer as we had to get the metro home. I have to say, we were so proud and impressed with the children’s behaviour. They were absolutely brilliant.

It also made my day to see all of the children reading their books on the metro home. Take a look at some photos below.

We can’t wait to visit again soon.

Y3 Author Visit – Maddie Moate

28th November 2021O Smith

Year 3 had an exciting morning. We had a virtual visit from the author Maddie Moate, who told us all about her book ‘STUFF’.

She told us about her adventures around the world and how this inspired her book. Her book is all about recycling and we couldn’t believe that she saw paper being made from elephant poo! Some of us were so interested in the topic that we began making notes on our whiteboards in order to do some more research!

It linked perfectly with our English work and our new book ‘The Tin Forest’ which is also about recycling.

Thurston Day 3

24th November 2021s cox

We have another update from our Thurston-ites today!

Take a look below at what the children have been up to today:

Yewdale: “we went down to the stream and did ghyll scrambling. We floated in the water. After lunch we went to the caves, made echoes and walked in the dark.”

Langdale: “this morning we went out in the mini van to cathedral quarry. We took candles and lit them in the quarry caves. After lunch we went ghyll scrambling. At one point there was a pool and we were allowed float and swim.”

Grizdale: “We went on canoe boats across the lake. We stopped for a small break with a cup of hot chocolate and a flapjack. We came back and jumped off the jetth (Everyone was freezing). After lunch we went on a blind monkey trail. We has to use our senses to find out way across as we had blindfolds on. This meant to communicate effectively with each other. Just before dinner, we ended our day with orienteering.

We are all looking forward to our roast dinner tonight.
