Year 3 Enterprise, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 5th Oct 2020 @ 9:40pm
Year 3 are going to be holding their enterprise activity on Friday 16th October.
This year we will be doing things a bit differently as we can't all gather to buy our marshmallows from the quad.
We have decided to use an ordering system. Your child will bring home an order slip. If you wish to order any marshmallow kebabs please complete the slip and return with the money in a sealed envelope to your class teacher by this Friday, 9th October.
Next Friday the children will make the kebabs and put them in named bags and deliver them to your child's class ready for them to take home.
Thank you
The Elephants

You will have seen from Mrs Brown's e-mail that parent's evening will be conducted via google classroom.
The children have spent the last 2 weeks learning how to log on and should be able to show you.
I will send home their personal details on Monday. On the main class page there are some how to guides if you get stuck.
Over the next few weeks I'll be showing the children how to open up homework on the google classroom how to complete and upload it back to me for marking,
Fossils, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 4th Oct 2020 @ 6:48pm
The focus of our adventure day was all about Fossils.
We became fossil hunters, looking at some photos of different fossils and wondering what they were of and what they could tell us about the past.
We sorted and grouped fossils together and then completed some research to discover what they were called.
We used clay to create either a model of a cast fossil like an Ammonite or a mould fossil of a leaf.
we were paleontologists and searched for dinosuar fossils in rock.
We developed our sketching skills to draw fossils.
We discovered how fossils are made and what type of rock they can be found in.
We finished off with a true or false quiz about what we had learnt.
An action packed day with harvest assembly aswell.
