The Grove Primary School

Year 3 - Lilac Class

The children in Year 3 have made a wonderful start to life in Key Stage 2. We are very proud of how well they have settled in and got used to new routines.

The highlight of our term came towards the end when we donned our red noses and extraordinarily large shoes and became part of the circus. Fun was had by all as we learned circus worthy tricks and skills that would leave any Clown feeling jealous!

There was no "clowning around" however when it came to our Road Safety Workshops. The children were so attentive and lead themselves exceptionally well when they took to the roads around the school, demonstrating how useful the Green Cross Code is.

In English, we have enjoyed reading ‘The boy who ran away from the circus and joined the library’ and writing newspaper reports in which we reported the mysterious disappearance of Fizzlebert Stump.

In Music, we have enjoyed beginning to learn to play the djembe drum. We are looking forward to learning new rhythms and tunes as the year progresses. We hope to welcome you to a concert later in the year.

Science has involved investigating forces and magnets. We have discovered that forces involve a movement and without them we would be forever stationary and unable to speak. The horror! On top of this we investigated which materials were magnetic and had a wonderful time exploring how metals were attracted to magnets.

Thank you to everyone who came to our Harvest Festival, here at school. We are sure you will agree that the children spoke and sung with confidence and enthusiasm. We are very proud of how brave they were to stand up in front of so many people!
