During assembly today, some of our Year Three superstars received special sports day awards for sportsmanship,perseverance and success!  Well done Year Three - keep up the great work!

This week, we have investigated the properties of 3D shapes.  We had lots of fun thinking about how the net of a shape linked to its properties and constructing our own 3D shapes from card, straws and playdough.

During DT, we investigated levers and linkages.  Recently developed Maths skills were put into practise, for example, measuring and drawing straight lines to create shapes and using new vocabulary, such as horizontal, vertical, parallel and perpendicular.  Constructing the moving mechanism was…

We enjoyed a super QUADKID session today with some of the young leaders from Stokesley School.  We tried our hardest at the standing long jump, 50m sprint run, 400m long run and the Vortex howler throw.  It was exhausting, but brilliant fun!

This afternoon we became trainee map makers!  We took a planning walk around the locality, to compile a list of Stokesley landmarks.

Today, we all had a great time learning how to read music!  We put our new skills to the test, by playing some tunes on the recorder.  Finally, we played along to a pop song, using the new notes that we had practised!

This week we investigated which forces need contact between two objects.  We found that many contact forces were in action on the playground.  Non-contact forces, like magnetic force, can act at a distance.

This week, we have been getting creative as poets and artists.  We gathered inspiration for our poems from 'Someone', by Robert Louis Stevenson.  Using paint on polystyrene tiles, we created bold prints to accompany our poems.  

Last week, we enjoyed a wonderful day, full of fabulous Viking activities.  We did some weaving, created Thor's hammer amulets from clay, baked delicious Viking bread and performed a Viking fashion show with the shields and jewellery which we made.  After a hard day of work we ate our freshly…

We had a fabulous time on our visit to the Jorvik Viking Centre in York.  We took a journey through a reconstruction of Viking-Age streets and experienced life as it would have been in 10th century York.
At 'The Dig' we went on our own archaeological adventure - we felt just like real…

This week, Lucas, from Wellness Kickstart, came in to work with us during PE.  We worked on fitness core skills, such as speed, agility and flexibility.  In addition, we considered how sleep and diet are important factors in living a healthy lifestyle.

Today we were visited by Natwest's Community Banker, Chris.  We talked about how to be responsible users of ICT, to develop a better understanding of internet safety.
