Year 3 had fun sharing their learning with parents after school yesterday. We enjoyed Ancient Greek food, attempting a class quiz, reading our posters and even dressing up like an Ancient Greek!
Photos to follow….
Due to the snow taking over 3b’s world book day fun, it has taken a while to track down these wonderful images of 3b in costume all dressed up as their favourite book characters!
Great effort!

Casting our memory back to before half term, the year 3 children were set a task of learning the story of ‘The Trojan Horse’ and either retelling the story in their own words or using it as inspiration for their own story writing.
We had some amazing entries at Fen Street Year 3 and we would like to say thank you and well done to those children who entered!
These are the winners from 3a, 3b and 3c!
Thank you for your creative stories, great presentation and comedy!
In celebration assembly this week, we also celebrated children who have shown open, grow and believe in their learning!
Well done for your hard work!
Wow! What an amazing and inspirational couple of days working in partnership with SKIP 2B FIT.
All children in our school showed amazing resilience and growth mindset towards improving their own personal bests. We all really enjoyed the motivational competitions between staff and children. Mr Rickett and Mathias are currently our skipping champions – we are looking forward to see if anyone can beat their scores in the future.
We had an amazing day yesterday celebrating International Women’s Day, learning about equality around the world. We have started to create posters and symbols (inspired by the book ‘Malala’s Magic Pencil’) to represent what we want in our own futures.
Learning about the history of equality has encouraged us to have discussions about what we want our world to be like and how we can inspire everyone to be be treated as equals.
We are hoping to finish our posters in the next couple of weeks and want to continue this project looking at different inspirational people throughout the year.
Year 3/4F and 4D have been busy this term working on their Endangered Animals project. From writing non-chronological reports to designing and creating informative posters, they have learnt a lot about different endangered animals and the threats they face. As a result, they decided they wanted to do something to really make a difference!
They are now focusing on being able to use persuasive language by writing persuasive letters in Literacy lessons and creating their documentaries about endangered animals. To ignite this stage of their project they held a campaign day on Tuesday. They wanted to make their voices heard and raise money to help protect endangered animals.
They spent the morning baking cakes and designing posters in preparation for their bake sale after school.
In the afternoon, they took their posters on a campaign march around Brooklands and Broughton! It was great to go out in the community to share their passion about saving endangered animals. Their chanting and posters definitely got lots of attention!
Even after such a busy day, they weren’t finished yet. They held a bake sale after school and raised a huge £113! This money will be used for each class to adopt an endangered animal with the WWF!
It was such a successful day and we are so proud of the children’s work and passion to get their voices heard for such a good cause! We look forward to sharing the rest of our work with you at the end of the term!
The children were all very engaged with the skipping and showed a growth mindset to improve their scores.
Wow! What a start to a Tuesday morning. John from Skip2bfit has us working hard. Our challenge was to skip continuously for two minutes (!) to music. This was a true test of our resilience, perseverance as well as cardio strength. After two minutes we checked our skip count and had a 1 minute break. Promoting a growth mindset, the only person we had to beat was ourselves! No- “I’ll never beat that score” or ” I can’t do this again” but we are saying “I’ll give it my best” or ” I will beat my score!” So, we skipped for another two minutes and were amazed with how much progress we made! We had great fun practising and showed determination and focus to beat our own scores.
We aim to carry on Skip2bfit in our classes so we can keep getting personal bests! John also, very kindly, gave us each a box of blueberries as a healthy snack to enjoy. Keep remembering to reuse and recycle that plastic box- you can keep bringing it back to school with raisins, grapes or even more blueberries. There is a prize for the child who keeps reusing their box the longest!
