Year 3 welcomed adults into school for their times table cafe last week.
The cafe was well attended and it was great to see so many grown ups support their children with their learning.

Year 3 Science Investigation
This afternoon, Year 3 did a science investigation around friction.
The children had to find out which shoe had the most friction in their group.
They ensured it was a fair test and enjoyed using the Newton meters.
Siobhain O’Higgins – Grand Piano
Children across the school were given the opportunity to join Siobhain O’Higgins playing her Grand Piano on zoom today.
Children were able to listen live to different pieces, think about how it made them feel and what they could picture in their heads and see how the piano actually works!
Rotary Club Dictionaries
Year 3 were presented with dictionaries today from the Rotary Club in their year group assembly. The children are able to take these home to support their learning.
We would like to thank the generosity of the Rotary Club. We can’t wait to see how the children use them!
The Colours Of Queen’s Hill Year 3
The whole school has been working on our self portraits this week, inspired by the work of Angelica Dass and her Humanae project. Here are are some year 3 children completing some of their work!
Colours of Queen’s Hill
Our amazing teaching team have been painting self-portraits after school today for our Colours of Queen’s Hill art project. They’ll be going on display in the main entrance next week.
The Colours of Queen’s Hill is a wonderful art project for our whole-school community, where everyone will be creating their own self-portrait to celebrate individuality and diversity, inspired by the work of artist Angélica Dass.
Year 3 Wraps
Year 3 designed, made and evaluated their own wraps. Here is what they had to say:
“Putting all of the ingredients down the middle of the wrap was fun!”
“Cutting the ingredients into smaller pieces was fun!”
“Tasting the wrap was delicious!”
“Folding the wrap up was tricky, but we persevered and did it!”
Hedgehog Music Performance
This morning, Hedgehog class performed their ‘lean on me’ song to CNS high as part of the outreach project.
The Year 12 students then joined in with their instruments for the verses. It was great to see everyone making music together!
We look forward to seeing how our partnership can develop next academic year.

Year 3 dissected flowers today to see the different parts. They then made and labeled their own versions and explored the role of each part.
Maths in Year 3
Year 3 investigated polygons today and saw what shapes they could make from putting different ones together.
Then they moved onto marking the vertices on isometric paper!
