Year 3 - Wrens
Kew Gardens!
We had so much fun on our trip to Kew Gardens. We visited The Hive, the Palm House, the Princess of Wales Conservatory and the Children's Garden. We enjoyed looking at the wide variety of plants.
Empathy Day
Today was 'Empathy Day'. We learned all about what empathy means and how we can be empathetic towards the people around us. We also made resolutions for how we would show empathy this week.
Dog Smart!
Today we were visited by Darcy from Dogs Trust. He did whole school assembly as well as a workshop about being 'Dog Smart'. We learned a huge amount about how to behave safely around dogs.
Shared Reading with Foxes
On Monday we went down to Year 1 Foxes and did some shared reading which we really enjoyed.
Welcome back!
I hope you all had a wonderful break.
We are kickstarting our new term with our final Whole Class Reading Text
