News Year 3

Today our lovely school was completely transformed into an exciting museum with interesting artefacts round every corner.

We saw a fantastic turn out for our Museum Day today. 

Wow Wow Wow! The Whitehorse Museum opened this morning and what a beautiful sight it was.

On Tuesday this week it was Safer Internet Day.  All the children joined an assembly by Mr Francis focusing on this year’s theme of ‘Want to Talk About It?’. 

At Ecclesbourne, we love reading and we thought what better way to celebrate the upcoming World Book Day than by running an exciting reading competition!

​Preparations are well under way for Museum Day, which takes place across Pegasus schools next Friday (10th February) In the attached photo, you will see Comets class at EPS have begun painting their Roman shields.

Today at WHJUN we brought back the Reading Breakfast! (it had been a little while).

In Year 3, we have been studying the book ‘Jemmy Button’ by  Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali. 

We are delighted that our gardening club is now up and running.

This week I have seen lots of lovely examples of children’s writing.

At Ecclesbourne we would like to say a massive thank you to Lidl who have been helping us with our breakfast provision. 

This week we have been thinking about thinking critically. We know that critical thinking requires you to use your ability to reason (one of our learning powers!).

A while back we posted the news story below about reading and our favourite places to read. 

We were so excited to come to school on Monday! There was quite a thick blanket of snow on the ground – amazing fun to play in (a health and safety nightmare for Mr Stewart and Mr Cheyne!).

Recently, year 3 have been studying Aesop’s fables.  We have discussed the features of a fables and what makes them different from fairy tales as well as learning about what a moral is and how the fables convey these morals.
