Parents evening will be taking place on Monday 26th February. Please ensure to book a time for us to catch up and be able to discuss your child’s progress and targets and to celebrate what they have achieved so far this year.
Music Lessons
Music lessons will continue with Mr Culross over this half term. There is also the opportunity for your child to take their instrument home to practice. Please get in touch for more information.
Science
This half term Year 3 will be learning all about forces and magnets. We had lots of fun conducting our own force experiment. We found that the force from the balloon pushed it along the string. We also explored electrostatic force and how it can make our hair stand up.
