Year 3 Summer Newsletter
Year 3 Spring 1 Newsletter
On Wednesday 16th January, as part of their immersion, the Y3 children had the opportunity to experience the life of Brazilian coffee farmers. The children were expected to pick, wash, dry, grind, pack and label coffee beans ready to be sold to the ‘Uk’. It was hard work and not as fun as first expected! Once their hard work had been completed, the children demanded a payment of £4.35 for their duties, as this is the National minimum wage for anyone under the age of 18. But, to their disappointment, they only received a mere 2p, for their efforts. The differences in pay and working conditions in different countries came as a shock to the pupils and generated excellent discussion through our Philosophy sessions. Year 3 are now ready.

Christmas Concert
The children worked hard to present their annual production to families and friends on Monday 10th December. The narrators, singers, musicians and actors did a fantastic job – well done to everyone.
2017 – 2018
Year 3 Showcase
On Wednesday 23rd May, the Year 3 pupils put on a showcase to celebrate their hard work and enthusiasm during the half term.
Children performed a range of performance poetry as well as singing as a choir. The pupils were excited to share their healthy smoothies, which they had created themselves, as well as their ‘not so healthy’ chocolates. ‘Pop Stop!’ and ‘Pop Disco!’ (both which contained popping candy!)
The children’s recounts of their time in Mr Wonka’s Chocolate Room was also on show for parents to enjoy reading.
Our Visit to The Chocolate Story, York
The children in Year 3 took part in a science workshop which involved an exciting interactive discussion about the origins and properties of waxes, changes of state and non-reversible changes. The children all produced their very own candle which they were able to take home.
