Democracy
Today voted for our school councillor. It was very democratic with a secret ballot. Shh- don’t share your vote!
ERIC
Bluebirds were very excited to begin ERIC again this week. Some chose to find a quiet corner alone, whilst others read in groups or pairs. Some children even decided to read to the soft toys in the book corner! Miss Johnson and Ms Dainter shared a book with a small group of children whilst Jacob and Mrs Parry read a brand new book about Mr Noah’s Pockets. The children were thrilled to dive into a new, big baskets of books. It was lovely sight to see everyone enthusiastically enjoying reading good book!
The True Story of The Three Little Pigs
Today a very important visitor joined us in the Year 3 classroom, the Wolf from The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. All the children asked the wolf questions to get a better understanding of his feeling towards the rude little pigs!

The Diary of a Killer Cat – our reviews
This afternoon, the Bluebirds in year 3 finished reading The Diary of a Killer Cat. These are some of our reviews
Diary of Killer Cat – warning Poster
This morning, the Bluebirds read the next chapter of The Diary of a Killer Cat. Tuffy, the cat, went to the vets. He scared the other animals in the waiting room, he scratched the vet, knocked off the bottles that were on her desk and broke and scale to weigh the animals.
We came up with adjectives to describe Tuffy and created a warning poster to other vets in the area not accept Tuffy at their practice.
DT Sewing
During our Design Technology lessons this week, the Bluebirds in year 3 have been practising their sewing skills. This week we have been learning how to thread a needle, start and finish sewing and practising running stitch.
Zi Yan has made a decorative hanging at home out of felt using embroidery thread and a permanent pen. It looks great!
