For our final half-term, we have continued delving into the enchanting world of rainforests! We’ve been captivated by the lush greenery, diverse wildlife, and incredible biodiversity found in these fascinating ecosystems. 

We started our half term off with a Spanish Enrichment Day where the children tasted different spanish foods, had a game of bingo with Spanish numbers, learnt Spanish dances and had conversations in Spanish too. The children absolutely loved the enrichment day and said it was the best way to learn a new language with practical, engaging activities. 

In preparation for the next academic year, we had the pleasure of meeting with the Year 2 pupils. We shared our experiences and told them all about Year 3, offering glimpses into the exciting adventures that await them. It was a great opportunity to calm any nerves and build excitement, making their transition to the next year a smoother and more enjoyable process. We were so proud of the year 3 children as they did a fab job as always. 

We had a rainforest Discover and Do day where the children edited their nature documentaries and made their banana bread. We were also very lucky to have Tommy the Tortoise join us for the day, (thanks to Mrs Iles)  and we honed our observational drawing skills, capturing the intricate details of Tommy and his environment. It really was a fantastic day! 

As a grand finale to our rainforest theme and to share our newfound knowledge and creativity, we invited parents to our Rainforest Cafe. The children had worked so hard on the nature documentaries they made and edited themselves, astounding us all with facts on rainforest animals. As a sweet treat, we baked delicious banana bread, which everyone enjoyed! The highlight of the event was the Rainforest Quiz, where the children asked questions and the parents had to answer. 

It was a joyous celebration of learning and collaboration. As your wonderful children’s time in year 3 comes to an end, we reflect on the incredible memories we’ve created together.  We are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their educational journey and are excited for what lies ahead for them in Year 4. Thank you, parents, for your support, we hope you all have a wonderful Summer.
