18.11.22

Well, another week has whizzed by in Year Three. We have filled our hours with tales of Stone Age Boy, Anti-Bullying discussions, silly socks, Neolithic farming innovations, formation of fossils and a very enlightening discovery that The Bible is indeed the number one bestseller of all time. The children were astounded to learn that The Bible has sold over 5000 million copies compared to J.K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Philosophers’ Stone at ‘only’ 107 million.

This week marks National Anti – Bulling week. On Monday we all enjoyed showing off our odd socks.  It  proved to be a really effective conversation starter as our discussions evolved to include how important it is to cherish our uniqueness and that difference is a good thing and should be celebrated. We also discussed what we should do if are worried that someone may be being bullied. This year’s anti - bullying mantra is ‘Reach Out’. The children joined in with the national lesson on BBC Teach. The link is below if you would like to revisit or discuss any of the points covered in the lesson at home.

Ultimately, we are all unique. We are all special. We all stand together against bullying. We reach out and are stronger together! The children have also enjoyed bopping along to Andy and The Odd Socks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNR2eyOzLKw with their catchy anti – bullying song.

 In science, we have been delving into the fascinating world of fossils. The children should be able to describe in simple terms how fossils are formed and be able to tell you all about the wonderful Mary Anning. 

Thank you, as always for all your support. The rock collections are beginning to roll into school and the children are really keen to share their finds with their friends.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
