Another great year at Fairlands come to a close. The last day of term will be on Tuesday 23rd July at 2.15pm.
Well done to all the parents, staff and of course, our amazing children!
Have a great, safe summer and we will see you back in September.
The summer holidays will finally be here at 215pm tomorrow and hopefully the sun will make an extended appearance too!
Year 3 have spent the last half term reading The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philp Pullman. We have carried out reading and writing tasks based on the text in our English and Guided Reading lessons and today spent the day celebrating all things fireworks!
Yesterday we celebrated, 'This is Me!' Day. We talked about how we are all different but all very special and we all have different skills. Some of our teachers showed off their talents; Mrs Huskinson played her guitar, Ms Chappell showed off her rollerskating skills and Mrs Glindon showed us how to tap dance! The children all had brilliant ideas about things they are good at and showed off dancing, gymnastics, singing and cartwheeling skills. They also told us other things they are good at, including 'Helping Mummy with the washing' and 'Running really fast!'. After this, the children made pictures of their skills to show to their Reception class teachers on Thursday.
It's the final coffee session of this school year - how has that happened? We have representatives from Angels joining us and I am sure they will come armed with a wealth of information about summer holiday support.
To start the day off, we looked at the story 'Amazing' by Steve Antony and discussed how Zibbo was a good friend. We identifed that Zibbo was different but that he made his friend happy. We then made our own dragon puppets and when we opened the dragon, we wrote about our special abilities. We also had circle time to discuss what makes us special and loved sharing what makes us different. We were very honest and brave!
We have had a great day thinking about why we are all so Amazing! We listened to the story Amazing by Steve Antony and then made dragons of our own. We all learnt something new about each other and what makes us all special.
Elder Class had an amazing time visiting our local allotment. We were able to plant radish and rocket seeds. We also saw a scarecrow, a green house, apple trees and pears trees. We learnt how to keep slugs away from plants and why insects like to live on allotments.
We had a great time visiting the allotments today!
We were shown around by some very knowledgable gardeners who answered all of our questioned and showed us many wonderful plants and vegetables that were growing in their gardens.
