This afternoon, we welcomed a very special visitor into our class to teach us about Judaism. We tried some bread, learnt all about the different Jewish festivals and celebrations and tried some dancing! What a lovely end to the day! @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips #StPhilipsREY3

Today, we wrote non-chronological reports about rats as part of our unit of work on ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’. We read our reports with a partner and helped one another to edit and improve our work. @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips #StPhilipsEnglishY3

Today, we started our History leaning about the Ancient Egyptians. We began by creating a ‘human timeline’ to help us understand where this period of time was placed in HisTory. @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips #StPhilipsHistoryY3

We have had a wonderful first session in Forest School! We demonstrated our Christian values to help our friends climb trees, carry sticks and build dens and we respect ourselves, others and the nature around us. We can’t wait until next week! 🪵🌲🍂 @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

Yesterday, we made our own paints from natural products, just like cave artists. We were surprised that the blueberries didn’t create a strong pigment! @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips #StPhilipsArtY3

Yesterday, we welcomed a visitor from The Lowry who delivered an art workshop based on cave paintings. The children took inspiration from the prehistoric paintings and created their own versions. @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips
