Bicycle Helmets

The children in Year 3 have been learning about the importance of wearing a correctly fitting cycling helmet when out riding their bicycles.
Well done to those children who have designed Cycle Helmet posters as a "home learning" activity.

Learning in the Life Education Van

Today the Year 3 children had their visit to the Life Education Van. We learned about the importance of the brain and discussed ways to live healthy life styles.
The children were all very attentive and enthusiastic.

It would be great if the children could visit this website:
www.lifeeducationwessex.org.uk
They may also like to send Harold (the giraffe) an email at the following address:
harold@lifeeducationwessex.org.uk

Health and safety week 9th -13th May


The children will be exploring aspects of staying safe and being healthy over the next week in class. We will be welcoming visitors to the school; RNLI will be visiting to run a Beach safety assembly with tips and key messages about being safe. We also are welcoming the Safer School Team who will be running sessions with each class about staying safe when online at age appropriate level. We also have the Life Education van in school on Tues and Weds (10th and 11th) and each class will access a session based upon the PSHE curriculum for their class. In class, the children will be talking about road safety as well as being healthy and linking this to their science topics.

Lastly, on Friday 20th May each class will be accessing children appropriate levels of first aid training kindly offered by St John's ambulance. Yr 4 will be running through the programme and hopefully completing the course for a certificate!

If you do have questions or some skills or time to offer do speak with the year team.

Thank you, Mrs Mewett

Home learning Year 3 - Friday 6th May


 
1.     – Design a poster encouraging people to wear a proper cycle helmet when they are riding their bikes.

 2.    – Put the missing punctuation into this text. It’s fine to ask someone at home for a bit of help.

Year 3 Swimming (Thurs) and Athletics Festival (Friday) next week


Dear Parents,
There seems to be some confusion about the arrangements for the end of next week. Just to confirm the details for you:

Swimming Year 3 on Thursday 19th May – all arrangements are the same as usual.
Year 3 Athletics Festival at D.M.S. on Friday 20th May. We will be walking to DMS after registration and will be back at school for lunch. Children will need to make sure they have water in a re-sealable bottle and bring a sunhat and have applied sun cream. We will use PE kits from school.

Many thanks,   Duncan MacBean
