Unfortunately you cannot see our video links. We are working on this and hope to have them soon.
We have a new name for our class, The Giggling Googlers! This has come about in a roundabout way of exploring letter sounds and talking about words and their meanings. This led us to explore Google and well, we found it such fun that we became The Giggling Googlers.
We continue to explore different topics in class and this week we celebrated all things Scottish for Robbie Burns Night and we also continued with our Art Project along with many other activities.
On Monday, we briefly introduced who Robbie Burns was via a PowerPoint and then went onto make haggis, neeps and tatties in Food Technology. This is a traditional meal eaten on Burns Night. We cooked the vegetables and also the vegetarian haggis (which was actually very tasty) and tried it in the afternoon. We were delighted that so many children tried it and some really liked it! (that’s you Sophia)
We also explored Scottish Dancing and practised The Gay Gordons before going into the Sports Hall. We were so impressed with how quickly the children picked it up. Usually the whole school would come together for dancing with the staff band and it did feel a bit strange with so few people. However, we had the most brilliant time and were quite worn out by the end of it.
What a great day we had.
Here are the photographs and some live footage too.

Year 3 Team and The Giggling Googlers
We’ve had another fun filled week this week! With an extra special treat, the Yurt!
We used our time in the Yurt to explore our class story Sam’s Sandwich and made our own sandwiches. We used the log burner inside the Yurt to cook our scrambled egg which smelt so delicious it attracted some unwanted visitors!
In the afternoon we had some lovely circle games with singing, dancing and the lycra! It went down a treat with the children and we had lots of smiling faces.
In Science we continued our work about Healthy Teeth. This week we wanted to find out which drinks were best for our teeth. So we got our lab coats on and had an experiment! We took three popular class drinks Coke, Tea and Water and used a boiled egg to play the role of a tooth. We left the eggs to soak over night and look at the results!
Last of all, a HUGE well done to our friend Mason! Who was Class 3’s Half Term Achiever!
He is so proud and so are we!
We’ve had such a busy week this week introducing new topics and also working on children’s individual outcomes.
In Science we are learning all about teeth and healthy eating. We watched a short PowerPoint and talked about our teeth and how to look after them. We were delighted at how much the children already knew and we had lots of lovely discussion about The Tooth Fairy!
In Art we introduced our Art and Design topic which is all about Paper Skills – folding, tearing, cutting, fanning and twisting. We have explored different skills using a range of materials which has resulted in a wonderful piece of work entitled “Winter” which is on display outside our room.
In Humanities we are learning all about Different Jobs in the Community. In light of the current situation, we explored what happens in a Hospital and the different jobs people do hospitals. It was lovely to have James working from home who joined in with the lesson via Zoom. and used his VOCA very effectively to answer questions. We completed an activity and then engaged in some role play with great success. We had some fabulous doctors/nurses and also patients!
And of course we enjoyed playing in the snow again. We used coloured water in spray bottles, syringes and pipettes. Goodness it was so cold but once we warmed up inside we finished off with a little time in Soft Play.
And how wonderful that James went out into the snow at home and sent us a lovely photo of himself and his snowman.
Wow, what a busy week. And last but not least, Dua was our well deserved Weekly Achiever. Here she is with her certificate and she chose chocolate buttons as her reward.
We think everyone deserves two days break before we get stuck into another busy week next week!
Take care everyone.
Year 3 Team.
To do lots of lovely things. This week has been another busy week. On Monday we enjoyed our Christmas Party with our friends from Dave’s class. We all went into the Sports Hall and played different games together and also danced together to our favourite Christmas tunes. It was so lovely to see our children helping Dave’s children if they needed help. This is surely what Christmas is about? We then came back to class for a wonderful party tea. Many thanks to our generous families who provided such a wonderful spread. Very delicious.
During the week we continued to work on our cards, calendars, Christmas biscuits and other creative things. We are sure you will like them and treasure them for years to come.
On Thursday we enjoyed Christmas lunch, this year in our classroom. We missed being altogether but it was really lovely having it in our beautifully decorated room. The table looked fantastic and we had Christmas music and videos on the Smart Board. The food was delicious and so much of it!
To round off the day we all went outside with the whole school with blankets and hot chocolate for our carol concert. This is the first year we have held it outside and we must say, it was so atmospheric being outside in the garden. Maybe this will become the new way to do it. If you go onto the Friends Of Hadrian Face page on our website you will be able to watch a tiny bit of it. What a wonderful week. We look forward to our last two days next week finishing with our Nativity Assembly on Thursday to which you are all invited.( Zoom details to follow)
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your very thoughtful and generous gifts and of course your continued support in this most difficult of years. We all hope and pray for a much better 2021!

What a fabulous week we have had in school. We have been singing Christmas songs, baking Christmas treats and even spreading Christmas cheer!
This week the whole school have been busy decorating hearts so we could send a lot of love to Ashton Court Care Home for the holidays. On Tuesday our class played the role of Santa’s little elves and had a lovely walk to deliver the hearts to the staff team so they could pass them over to the residents on our behalf. The staff were delighted with all of our hard work! Take a look!
The Christmas cheer hasn’t stopped there! We have been making lots of Christmas treats this week. Baking Christmas tree biscuits, creating our very own snowmen for the class display and getting our creative hats on to make some special surprises to take home for Christmas!
What a fantastic start to the weekend we have had!
Today we celebrated Children in Need and all came to school in our best Pudsey outfits so we could raise money for a fantastic cause! We have had a great day doing all things Pudsey! With a special assembly, making our own little Pudsey bears with the playdough and even making our own Pudsey bears come to life with the iPads!
Take a look!
Have a good weekend everyone.

This Wednesday we celebrated Remembrance day. In the morning we created some beautiful poppies in art and decorated our freshly baked poppy cookies for snack, in the afternoon we had an assembly to learn all about remembrance day and think of all of those in and out of school who have lost their lives.
What a fantastic first week back we have had!
This week still full of excitement from the weekend we celebrated with a our class Halloween party! We all came in dressed in our spooky outfits and had a morning of spooky Halloween activities! We decorated biscuits and made our own pumpkins. In the afternoon we had lots of Halloween games and even a disco! What a great day.
The fun didn’t stop there!
On Thursday we celebrated Bonfire Night with fireworks! In the morning we created our own fireworks in art and then the whole school got together to enjoy some socially distanced campfire songs and fireworks, it was the first time we have all got together since coming back to school in September and it was great to see all of our friends. We then came back to class and warmed ourselves up with some hot chocolate and dancing.
Have a great weekend everyone!
