Year 3 Team
On Friday 14th July, we are celebrating cultures and countries represented at St Mark’s and in Basingstoke. Your child can wear clothes with colours that represent a country you have links to (including the UK!). They’ll be doing a range of activities across the day, too. We ask for a donation of 50p to cover costs. The children will all recieve a special ‘We Are One’ badge, too!
Our breakfast club is changing as of September 1st 2023. Please click here for full details.
Please can you complete our end of year survey – once per child – click here.
Current Year 3 parents – there will be an online meeting for the Year 4 residential on Weds 19th July at 6pm. More details to follow.
Remember, registers are taken at 8:50am, meaning your child needs to be through the gate by 8:48am.
A reminder that all after school clubs have now finished.
Spend some time with us on Tuesday 18th July straight after school. You can meet your child’s new teacher, and walk around the School Art Exhibition to see your child’s work on display.

A note from the community centre: The Summer Festival is a free entry event aimed at the local community. This year it will be on Saturday 15th July from 12 – 4. We have over 100 events, activities and over 28 local traders arranged for the day. We will also have a variety of hot and cold refreshments, a licensed bar, a dog show, a climbing wall within our Scouts’ fun zone, festival inflatables, crazy golf, indoor seating and outdoor marquee seating, tombola and competitions with some fabulous prizes. There will be live entertainment as well as a DJ. Do join us for an hour or the whole afternoon, you won’t want to miss it! We are encouraging people to walk to the Festival if they possibly can as we are anticipating a heavy footfall on the day.
Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
“Flight of the Bumblebee” is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899–1900. Its composition is intended to musically evoke the seemingly chaotic and rapidly changing flying pattern of a bumblebee.

Last week, the children had a fabulous day where we learnt so much from our real Roman visitor. The children made us so proud, with their knowledge so far and their behaviour was outstanding. In the morning, they learnt about the lead up to the invasion of Britannia. They then got to handle some artefacts – even the toilet sponge stick ergh! We learnt some Roman games called Delta and Ludas and then we has a quiz to complete. In the afternoon, we all came together and had a weapons and armour talk, Drill (Roman’s marching), Bouidicca’s revolt and then finished with a Gladiator Tournament.
We had such a super day!
