Piccolos
Welcome to our fantastic team which consists of 30 happy, ambitious, resilient learners, who are not afraid to make mistakes and rise to every challenge, and 2 class teachers - Mrs Parkinson and Mrs Higson. Our wonderful Learning Support Assistants, who support us at various times of the week, are Mrs Moores, Miss Fellows and Mrs Cookson.
This year, all subjects will be taught discretely in six blocks, with opportunities for revisiting and revising content over the year, to ensure retention of knowledge and skills.
For homework, children should aim to read at least 5 times a week and record this in their Reading Record. These will be checked on a Monday and gold coins will be awarded to the children who have achieved this. In addition, children should learn their weekly spellings for a test each Friday, and access Times Table Rockstars three times a week.
We are very much looking forward to a fun, successful and exciting year....

Why were the Romans so successful?
In our History work, we have been exploring why the Romans were so successful in building their empire...They were strong, disciplined, well organised and went into battle with a plan! We practised their famous battle formations and learnt about the armour and weapons that helped them protect themselves. We had lots of fun along the way!
Cricket Festival & Yoga
We have taken part in a cricket festival with South Ribble which was lots of fun and very competitive! Then we enjoyed a very relaxing yoga session leaving us feeling very mindful! A great sporty day!
Visit to Ribchester Roman Museum
We visited Ribchester Roman Museum. We learnt lots about Roman inventions, looked at and handled a range of artefacts, found out what Roman soldiers wore and examined the remains of part of the Roman fort that existed right where we were stood! We've had lots of fun, and we made Mrs Parkinson very proud of how much knowledge we already had and brought to the visit!

Science Week
We undertook some very exciting work linked to light and reflection during Science Week. With a light meter, we investigated how well different surfaces reflected light, finding out that smooth, shiny materials - like mirrors - reflect light best.
We researched a scientist, Percy Shaw, who invented 'Cat's Eyes'. What a remarkable invention! It was patented in 1934 and still keeps us safe on the roads in the dark today, thanks to its reflective properties!
Using our understanding of how light is reflected, we had lots of fun using mirrors to make our own kaleidoscopes!
We also enjoyed sharing our learning with another year 3 class, via Zoom, from Lostock Hall Community Primary School. We've had great fun and learnt so much. We love Science! ❤️
World Book Day
We enjoyed a wonderful assembly to celebrate our love of reading with Mrs Bruzzese and the Reading Ambassadors. Then we focused our day's activities around a book called 'The Oak Tree' by Julia Donaldson. This book tells the story of a tree through 1000 years of British History. Children came dressed as a child from History or a UK woodland animal and they looked wonderful! We researched ancient trees and the wildlife that depends upon them overtime. Using a leaf identification chart, we identified different types of trees/leaves that we found on our school grounds. Then we used collected leaves to make a natural collage of one of the animals from the book.

Art - Ancient Egyptian Scrolls
We researched Ancient Egyptian art and made our own papyrus paper, on which we drew and painted our own Ancient Egyptian designs.
Science - Rocks and Soils
We have had fun making observations of rocks, testing their properties and classifying them. We have learnt how fossils are formed and enjoyed making examples of our own cast and mould fossils.
