Wow, one term over already, and what a great term it has been. What did the children think?
What lovely comments Bluebirds, take care and have a well deserved break.

Meet our school councillors
Our new school councillors – Tiffanie and Naheedul.
Behaviour badges
A massive well done to the following children for receiving their red badge for this term, they have been green all term.
Children who are new to the Bluebirds class have made a great start and are very close to getting their red badge too!
Black History Month: Nelson Mandela
For Black History Month the Bluebirds were looking at the life of Nelson Mandela. We looked at how society treated people differently in South Africa and segregated people because of the colour of their skin.
To give the children an idea of how this may have made people feel we separated them into two groups depending on the colour of their hair, and gave one group of children more rights than the other. How did this make the children feel?
Painting our Egyptian death masks
We have had an amazing afternoon painting our Egyptian death masks. Bluebirds are so creative. Take a look!
Attendance certificate
Well done Year 3 Bluebirds, our second attendance certificate with a very good percentage! We get an extra 15 minutes play for this, keep it up!
Professor McGinty and Ancient Egypt
Year 3 were extremely lucky to have had a fantastic time travelling experience with Professor McGinty, time traveller and detective extraordinaire who visited Bells Farm again this week. The amazing and extravagant Professor was taking us back in time to Ancient Egypt.
A massive thank you Professor McGinty, the children had an amazing experience that I am sure they will never forget!
Egyptian death masks
Last week we were drawing our Egyptian death masks in our art books. This week we brought our creative ideas to life, using clay and tools the Bluebirds made some fantastic death masks. Take a look!
Check out next weeks blogs when hopefully our masks will have set and we can paint them.
Gold star chart
The Bluebirds were off to a great start presenting their work beautifully. We want to continue this so we have created a gold star chart which the children have to fill to collect special prizes!!
Conflict strategies
This week we were lucky to meet Anna, another person from the Peacemakers team. This week we looked at conflict again but looked at different strategies, one being the blame card which the bluebirds have already found very useful and our conflicts are dealt with much quicker!!
