Mrs Varty's Year 3 class have already managed to squeeze a lot of creativity and learning into the first three school weeks of 2025.

In art, we have been inspired by the colourful abstract paintings of the African-American artist, Alma Thomas; who achieved fame after a long career as an art teacher, despite facing prejudice and segregation during her earlier life. The children have created works on paper using a stamping technique and digital art on iPads and PCs. 

Last Friday, while some of our class were having an amazing time at the O2 for Young Voices, we were lucky to be joined by some of our friends in Mrs Price's Year 3 class. We completed fun challenges in maths, codebreaking and French, and in work linked to our current history unit, learnt all about Roman mosaics. In our science lessons, we have been learning about electrical circuits, doing a variety of experiments to find out how to make a bulb shine more brightly and how to check that our circuit is complete.

Throughout all of this, the children have shown an enthusiasm for learning and a positive approach to every new challenge – well done!
