Fleetwood Museum Trip

Here we are learning about Fleetwoods interesting past, when it was a holiday destination and had a thriving fishing industry.






In D.T we were inspired by our visit to Fleetwood and made one of our savory dishes...Tasty fish cakes thanks to our head chef Mrs Parkinson!
Mmm they were delicious!





Every week, Reading Buddies go down to Reception Class at lunchtime and read to the little ones...



Keep up the good work everyone!

Autumn 1 continued

We had a very informative visit from Mr Kilcoyne the Dentist and we wrote fact sheets for his patients.

We ended the Half Term by attending mass with our parish family and afterwards Father talked to us and showed us the Baptismal Font and this helped us to understand more about the Sacrament of Baptism.



We hope you have enjoyed your week off and see you all on Tuesday for another exciting Half Term.
We hope you are looking forward to our Fleetwood Museum visit on 10th November for our local history study!

Our Assembly and Street Party Autumn 1 2015

Hello all and welcome to Year 3!
You have all made a fantastic start to Key Stage 2 and we are very excited to be working with you this year.

We've only been together for 2 weeks but what celebrations and hard work we have had!

Here's a few photos of what we have been up to, and more will follow as the weeks unfold...



We celebrated our Queen's reign with a street party in our playground, we all wore red, white and blue and it was a lovely afternoon.


Each week we celebrate our efforts and achievements with Star of the week.




We had our 1st class assembly about

 our school's Patron Saint- St Cuthbert.
Well Done everyone!

Let's keep up the hard work we have lots to look forward to!

Summer 1

Hello everyone,
Have a look at all the exciting things we've been up to so far this summer term...


We had great fun at ice skating and although we were wobbly at first, by the end of our five weeks tuition we could go forwards, backwards and even weave in and out of obstacles!!


Here we are weaving in and out of cones!



We handled real Egyptian artifacts at the Manchester Museum, 
Some of them were over 5,000 years old! 



We celebrated Jessica's baptism in church and then had a class party afterwards.



We held a learning cafe for parents about our new topic the Stone Age.
We created pots and cave art.

So as you can see the start of the Summer Term was full of exciting learning opportunities and
now we are looking forward to attending a special Mass at St.Mary's with other year 3 children from Catholic schools in Blackpool.

We are also looking forward to a visit from Mr Bennett who will tell us how we can help save 
Orphan Orangutans in the Borneo rain forests.
We will visit Global Renewables to learn about what we can
do to recycle and also take part in sports day on the 1st July!

Watch out for pictures!

Happy Easter Everyone! Hope you've enjoyed the sunshine this holiday.
I hope you are as excited as Mrs Parkinson and myself about Ice Skating this Monday 13th April! Don't forget to wear your joggers and bring your gloves.

We're also looking forward to our Manchester Museum visit on the 22nd April and I'm sure we're going to have a great half term.

Here's some of the exciting things we got up to last half term...


Celebrating World Book Day, Didn't we all look great!



Busy learning about fractions.


Investigating friction



Finding out about angles.


As part of our maths, we looked at the angles and parallel lines found in 
Mondrian's work and re-created our own artwork in his style.


Some of us had artwork in the Seasiders exhibition and we went along to
have a look!


We prepared a Palm Sunday assembly for the school.

Well Done everyone! 

Let's get our skates on for another exciting half term!

Love Mrs Kilcoyne & Mrs Parkinson

We are looking forward to an exciting half term!!

We hope it will be as action packed as the last one. Here are a few things we got up to...




Finding out about properties of 2D and 3D shapes.
