Class 3B completed a brilliant day on Monday this week, designing and building an Egyptian Shaduf, as part of their D&T project this term. These are simple, hand-operated machines, used for lifting water from a source (well or river), to irrigate land or fill a higher basin.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Egyptian Day for Year 3. This exciting event will be in the school hall, with ‘The History Man’, Mr David Cadle, who has been doing this for many years now. We will be learning about Ancient Egyptian history and culture, as well as taking part in Ancient Egyptian Drawing, Writing, dressing up, Games and Arts & Crafts.

Children can come dressed like an Ancient Egyptian, with homemade or bought costumes, and have been reminded today about this, and in the week preceding this one. For ideas, please google ‘Homemade Ancient Egyptian costumes’ or something similar.

Finally, as there is still a small, but significant number of children whose parents are yet to sign up, please ensure that you check you have seen the information about the day on ParentPay and sign to give permission for your child to take part in the day.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team

For Monday please can all children, who can, bring into school clean yogurt pots. They need to be the “fromage frais” sized pots, which will be used as buckets for the children’s Egyptian Shadufs!

Many thanks

We have a reported case of head lice in Year 3.

Please do routinely check your child’s hair and if you discover lice please follow NHS  guidance: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/head-lice-and-nits/

Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful and generous Christmas gifts. I am truly touched by your kindness. It is a genuine privilege to teach your children, and your support makes my work so rewarding. I hope you all have a wonderful, restful holiday break filled with joy and quality time with your families, and I look forward to seeing everyone back in the classroom in the new year!

IF YOUR CHILD HASN’T BROUGHT THEIR COSTUMES BACK INTO SCHOOL PLEASE DO SO TOMORROW (17/12/25)

Please can we ask that all Year 3 bring back into school their costumes from the Christmas performance by Tuesday 16th!

We are going to perform AGAIN on Wed 17th! This time to Year 2 children from Newport Infants – as they were unable to attend our dress rehearsal last week!

Please don’t worry if they haven’t survived – the show will go on!

Many thanks
