Role-Play!

In English, we hot-seated Grandad to find out some possible ideas of where he be been as he isn’t in the next part of our story, Seal Surfer. We came up with lots of different possibilities for where he might be. We then worked in partners to role-play a phone call between the boy and Grandad to work out where he might be.

Natural Art!

In Art, we have been looking at cave paintings and how people in the Stone Age would have used natural materials to make paint. We then went outside and experimented with our natural paints – dandelions and soil worked really well!

Healthy Sandwiches

This term in Year 3, we have been designing and making healthy sandwiches. We had lots of fun taste-testing the different ingredients before we finally planned and then made our finished product.

Blists Hill

Year 3 had the most amazing day travelling back in time to the Victorian era and walking around Blists Hill Victorian town! We took part in a Victorian school workshop where we had to dress up as Victorian children and walk in silence down to the Victorian school. When we got to school, our teacher was really strict and we were only allowed to talk if Mrs McCallum spoke to us! We practised our handwriting using slate and slate boards, our 4 times table and practised some reading. We all had to use our right hands – which was very tricky for the left handed! We then got to explore the town – we saw candles being made, medicine being made at the pharmacist, we saw beautiful horses and joined in with a sing song at the local pub! We got to spend our pocket money at the Victorian sweet shop and ended our day playing in the best park ever!

Cinema Trip!

We had so much fun walking to the Cinema to watch Pets on a Train with Year 2! The film was jam packed with adventure, villains and humour, it was the best!

Young Voices

We had the most amazing time at Young Voices! This year, we took a choir of children from Years 4-6 AND we also opened the offer to the whole of Year 6 as well! This meant that we had a full choir of 90 pupils attending the concert. Children in choir worked hard after school to learn all the songs and dances while the Year 6 cohort spent their music lessons doing the same! The children represented Mereside brilliantly and it was fantastic to hear everyone singing their hearts out and having the time of their lives!

Shropshire Sings!

We had so much fun representing Mereside at the Shropshire Sings concert held at the West Midlands Showground. We worked really hard in choir practice to learn all the songs and we sang and danced brilliantly on the night! It was an evening to remember!

Sports Day!

Year 3 had the best afternoon participating in this year’s sports day! Everyone tried their best and showed real sportsmanship when celebrating and cheering on their friends!

Journey

This half term, Year 3 have been working really hard on creating their own narrative inspired by Aaron Becker’s wordless, picture book ‘Journey’. We were really excited to share our published versions with the children in Early Years. The Early Years children listened really well to our stories and were very excited to look through the picture books that we have also created to go alongside our narratives!
