Final day of Movember!

What could be better than ending Movember with a day full of moustaches?

A fantastic effort from pupils of all ages meant that we had a donation packed morning in Rise Park!

Here are the children from year 3 wearing their moustaches with pride!

Anti-Bullying Week

What a busy week! As part of anti-bullying week, year 3 have been thinking about how our words can hurt others. We learnt a pop song that discussed how words can make people feel down and lonely and this helped us to understand that what we say to our friends is important. Here is the performance!

Operation Christmas Child 2011

Wow. What more can we say?
Thanks to the amazing support of children and staff, Rise Park had packed 85 boxes by Friday 18th November. We found out that our boxes are due to begin their travels on December 2nd, travelling to Swaziland and possibly the Ukraine and Crimea. The following is a short video of year 3 packing their boxes.

The Thursday Challenge!

Following on from today's lesson, here comes the challenge!

Thinking about the three key types of measurement we talked about today, length, weight and volume, compile a list of all the different items you can find around your house that have either a length, weight or volume on their label.

Bring your list into school by Friday 11th November and 5 stampers will be awarded to the most interesting and detailed list.

Good luck!

Character Day in Year 3

To celebrate the end of our book fair and round off a superb half-term, 3H joined the rest of the school on Friday 14th October in dressing up as characters from our favourite books and comics.

Well done 3H for some fantastic character choices! You all look absolutely brilliant!

Tuesday Challenge!

Today in literacy we compared two different types of settings: a 'peaceful garden' and a 'scary garden'.

As an outside of class challenge, can you use the words from our white boards...



...to write a sentence about each setting, showing how totally different they are? Work will be rewarded with stampers and possibly a glimpse inside 3H's special box. Possibly.
Sentences in by Friday 14th October please!

Harvest Assembly

For this year's harvest assembly, year 3 joined forces with both foundation classes to sing a harvest song. We also spent an afternoon lesson painting together to make the vegetable and fruit hats for our performance!

Year 3 Athletics Competition at Top Valley

Today, 55 year 3 pupils from Rise Park took part in an athletics competition at Top Valley. All of the year group took part, competing in different events ranging from an obstacle race to a 12-man relay!
The frenetic 12-man relay!

A fantastic time was had by all, as we began to learn about some of the events we might see at next year's olympics, and a big thank you goes to the coordinators from Top Valley who organised the event.
Some medal winners from the morning's events.
