Happy International Women's Day 2023
This year we're embracing equity throughout our Trust. Here's one of our Class Teachers, Kurshida Ramjan at @MerrydaleJunior on the importance of Embracing Equity and what today means to her. #Internationalwomensday #EmbraceEquity @KrRamjan4

3AF are practising some visualisation of our draft character descriptions today. By drawing what we have written, we can see what we need to edit! @Merrydalehead @MerrydaleJunior

The last session of our rainforest day is all about insects. The children are showing great bravery and having a go at feeling some unusual creatures!

It’s our rainforest day today! All of year 3 are listening carefully to Sue, who is telling us about her time in the Amazon rainforest. @MerrydaleJunior @Merrydalehead @Discoverytrust

After a break for lunch, we are making some jewellery using beads. This is similar to some of the jewellery from the rainforest, as they use small seeds to create beautiful patterns. We are busy getting creative!

Year 3 have tested materials today to see which would be best for a shadow puppet. They’ve teamed up to tell stories! @MerrydaleJunior @Merrydalehead @Discoverytrust

Year 3 are learning how to add 2 sets of 3-digit numbers. We are looking at the steps involved in this and taking it step by step! @MerrydaleJunior @Merrydalehead @MerrydaleDeputy @Discoverytrust

[Mrs Fairhurst 3AF @Mrs_Fairhurst]

We also had a good discussion about results which don’t fit with the rest and why that might be. A super lesson! @Discoverytrust @MerrydaleJunior @Merrydalehead

A blurry picture, but year 3 were very engaged in their science lesson this afternoon. We were measuring the size of a shadow when the distance between an object and a light source changes. They displayed excellent teamwork and investigation skills!
