French weather
Today we learnt how to describe the weather in French. We then chose our favourite weather to draw and describe on a piece of paper which we turned into a fan to cool us down in this hot weather.
Gardening
The children who didn’t take part in the Summer music concert, spent the afternoon weeding and tidying the outdoor classroom. It’s lovely to see beans already starting to grow!
Sports Day Practise
This morning we have been practising our races for Sports Day.
Y3 - Creating 3d shapes
