Looking back to the first day of Year 3 in September, it is amazing to see how far the children have progressed in their learning. This week, we have been writing stories which include vivid descriptions of the setting. On Friday we will be going on a trip to take part in map and compass skill activities and are even planning to have a go at geocaching! Fingers crossed we don't get lost! Our Superstars for this half term are Ben and Sophie. Both children have settled into Year 3 well with a focused and mature attitude. Ben and Sophie's parents have been invited in to a special Superstar Assembly tomorrow. Well Done to both of you, we are all so proud of your efforts.
