Spring 1, Week 1
Happy New Year,
It has been wonderful welcoming Nathalie and the rest of year 3, back to school this week.
We have celebrated Epiphany throughout the week; making crowns and cards and exploring the meaning of the gifts given to Jesus by the Magi.
In science we have predicted and tested the permeability of soil, which was a lot of fun. Next week we will be start the topic ‘light’, investigating shadow and how light travels.
During geography, we have learnt what volcanoes are and where they can be found in the world. We have begun to learn a volcano dance in P.E. and are reading The Firework Makers Daughter in English, where the main character has to travel into a volcano!

Looks like you have kicked off the new year with lots of interesting topics already. Thank you for the crowns and cards. I am looking forward to seeing the Volcano dance. I imagine it is quite noisy!
