The children have been getting stuck into their final project in Year 4: Unearthing Angle-Land. This history-led topic will lead them on a journey to discover what life was like in the Anglo-Saxon times as well as being able to compare this era to that of Roman Britain. Please find our Topic Web and Knowledge Organiser below for more information about the learning for this half term.
Yes, honestly! For a donation of any amount, children will be given the chance to throw a wet sponge at Mr Applegate during the school day. Eeek!
Following the government’s announcement on Monday, schools have been told that they should not carry out transition in the usual way. This is to minimse bubbles crossing. This has meant that all Basingstoke Secondary Schools have cancelled their year 6 transition days and their year 5 taster days. Each secondary school is now planning an alternative programme and will be contacting parents directly with details.
If you haven’t already done so (and please don’t do it twice!), could you please complete your child’s form confirming their 3 friends as soon as possible. This is to enable us to consider friendship groups for next year. Please complete by Monday 21st June. If we don’t receive your completed form by this date, we will do our best to place your child with a friend from their current class. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLajGe_ekhB81iX8RP85agfRMfAQlKOUVTrNjmMhORMDBFiA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Just a reminder to let the school office know about any change of address, email or contact numbers. This is to ensure our records are up to date, should we need to contact you with school reports, general emails or if your child is unwell. Thank you,
This year sports day will look a little bit different. Due to Covid, we are unable to all spend the day outside competing for our colour teams with our family and friends to support us. We still want sports day to go ahead and for children to have the opportunities to earn points for their team.
We will be holding a Sports Week from Wed 23rd June to Fri 25th June (reserved dates Mon 28th to Wed 30th June).
Across this week, each year group will have an afternoon where they compete for their colour teams in an Obstacle Race. Then at another point this week, they will attempt the challenge of beating the teachers at a number of different activities.
During sports week, we would like all children across the school to wear sports clothes. On their designated afternoon for the obstacle race, we would like your child to wear their colour team t-shirt – please see timetable below. Class teachers will have list of who is in which colour team if you are unsure.
Obstacle Race Days – team colour t-shirts needed to be worn on this day.
For the beat the teacher challenge, we are asking for the children to be sponsored. Thanks for all your support, please do ask your child’s teachers if you have any questions. Miss Thomas and Miss Barnett

As it is Sports Week next week (23rd – 25th June), we know it maybe a little confusing about what the children should be wearing on which day. Therefore, we have made a timetable to help you know what your child/children should be wearing on each day. On days which say Sports Clothing, children can wear any sorts of sports attire. On the day which say coloured team t-shirt, children should be wearing a t-shirt which shows which colour team your child is in, and some sort of sports shorts or trousers. Please do not buy new clothes though – a close match is fine. Thank you for your support with this slightly different Sports Day this year. Sponsorship Form – PDF or Word Doc
How can we been at the final half term of Year 3? Last week we had a super week where we focused on the children’s well-being. We did this through two super books that the children loved! The first book was ‘The Boy, the mole, the fox and the horse by Charlie Mackesy’ which we used to create some of our own sayings and art work. We also wrote recipes for mending a broken heart, using our recent instruction skills to complete the ingredients and the method required.
The other book we focused on last week was called ‘The Barnabus Project by The Fan Brothers’. This is a stunning book all about some animals that have found themselves in a secret lab deep under ground of a perfect pet shop. They are classed as failed as they are a mixture of two animals but Barnabus sees the perfect opportunity to escape. This is a super book that led to our wonderful creations of our own failed or unique animals. Hope you love our pictures.
Today, we completed an online escape room to discover what our new project is. The children had several clues to recover the code to escape the light house, where we had been trapped. The children worked in unison with a partner to solve the clues for our new project, Beneath the Shadows, this will be a science project. They have then brought home a copy of their knowledge organiser, with some of the facts we will be learning. Do share this together. Below is a copy of our knowledge organiser and topic web for you to see what we are learning this half term.

Thank you for your on-going support,
Year 3 Team
Good afternoon everyone,
Whilst looking for some support for another family, I came across this website and I thought I would share. This service offers support to parents and carers of children with additional needs (diagnosed or not). Please feel free to have a look. They also offer virtual get togethers and the next one is in July. I have attached the flyer.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.
Take care, Mrs Greer 🌞
