Here’s the Music for Year 3’s Nativity. Practise with the words and the sing-a-long version first, then start singing along to the backing tracks with your words to see if you have the timings right.
Finally, sing without the words to the backing track – then you will be ready and confident to sing in front of an audience!

Year 3 spent some time exploring playscripts and their layout in order to identify key features. What better way to do that then to actually perform one?
Working in groups, they organised themselves into different roles and then used the stage directions to ensure actions and dialogue were accurate.
They were then able to use these features in their own plays, a ‘Revolting Rhymes’ style version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Some fantastic playscripts were produced because they worked so well together. Great work Year 3!
The children were amazing at the Windmill. They had so much energy and confidence climbing up and down four flights of steps! They learned about how the Miller turns the grain into flour for our bread. They kneaded the bread to make different-shaped bread rolls – we hope they shared these with their families! They also had chance to explore all the scientific and mathematical exhibits – look out for some funny photographs of the mirrors!
Year 6 performed a brilliant class assembly this morning, reflecting on everything they’ve learnt in the last 6 weeks! Their theme for this term is ‘Is Our World Always as it Seems?’, exploring how propaganda has been used throughout history and how it impacted people’s beliefs. Linking their learning, they’ve also learnt about the artist Marc Chagall, layering WW2 music and in Science, how electricity was used to make search lights. They really were TRIPLE THREATS today – singing, acting and dancing! They should be extremely proud of their incredible performance. Well done! 🙂
Year 3 are enjoying learning about Rocks! We have spent some time making close observational drawings of them and looking at different type of rock features. We have also started a good collection of our own in the classroom. Rock on Year 3!
Year 1 had a wonderful visit to Nottingham Castle last week. We went to see an exhibition in the art gallery called Kaleidoscopic Realms. Year 1 are learning about colour in our art lessons and the exhibition was all about the use of colour in contemporary pieces of art.
The children enjoyed looking at the beautiful creations and were able to talk about what they liked about each piece. One piece of art was all about looking after planet Earth. This piece inspired the children to think about God’s gift of the world and how we should look after it. They created their own designs with this in mind.
Whilst at the castle, we visited the adventure playground to burn off some energy, visited Robin Hood’s Adventure and had a look around the beautiful gardens.
What a fabulous day!
Here are the songs you’re going to need to learn for our assembly this term….
Louis Armstrong – What a Wonderful World
Henry VIII Wives Song
Last week, Year 3 spent a Stone Age day at Brackenhurst Education Centre. They had a fantastic time doing a whole range of activities. In the morning, we walked out to the woods and sat around the camp discussing the different eras. Then we used tools to saw and drill wooden medallions, painted walls like Early Man did and also built animal enclosures to keep our animals in.
After a well-earned lunch, we decorated out medallions, made clay pots and oh yes….recreated Stonehenge! Have a look…
Some of our children were chosen to lead the KS2 Liturgy this week, and they did an amazing job. They wrote some beautiful prayers and reflections, and with some help from Y6 and Ruth, led us all in a beautiful Liturgy.
