Kew Gardens

On Friday, Year 3 went to the stunning Kew Botanic Gardens. It was so exciting to go on our first trip outside of school since COVID began! The children managed to epxlore Palm and Temperate House, The Hive, The Pagoda and much more! Although The Treetop Walk was shut, we still had lots of fun exploring the beautiful gardens! During our workshop on pollination and fertilisation, the children searched for different types of bees. Some of us even found the rare red-tailed bee. The teachers running these workshops commented on how impeccable the children's behaviour was. We are ever so proud of our Year 3's! Here are a few photos to show some of the fun we had on the day:

Spectacular Puppet Show!

This afternoon, Year 3 had such an amazing time exploring different types of puppets including, sock, hand, finger, marionnette and much more. Tony, the puppeteer, gave children some background information about the history of puppets, especially focussing on Punch and Judy. We then finished with a spectacular show which I am sure you have heard a great deal about already. Take a look at just some of the photos to show how much fun we had!

A Whole New World

Year 3 have had such an amazing start to the year already! Not only have the children settled in magnificently, they have taken on all of the new challenges we have given them. It has made all of the teachers extremely proud and we are very excited to see their amazing work after half term. Take a look at just some of the spectacular work that has taken place already!

Year 3 Wow Wall

What an amazing year it has been! Although it has been cut short, you have been nothing but inspirational year 3! From our tea party, to swimming, to the puppet show, to Iron Age Day and Butser Farm, we have had nothing but fun from the very beginning. We have achieved so much along the way so well done! The work you have been sending in has been spectacular and of such high quality. It really has made every single one of us unbelievably proud of everything you have done.

It looks like summer is returning with the hot weather once more. Enjoy a well deserved break and I am sure we will see you at some point in September. Have a lovely break!

Summer Holiday Challenge - Trek to Tokyo

Hello everyone,

To commemorate the Tokyo 2020 Olympics which are no longer taking place this Summer, the Hampshire School Games Organisers (SGOs) are challenging you to Trek to Tokyo!

This is a 6-week challenge for the summer holidays, asking you to complete daily physical activities and creative challenges throughout each week. Earn miles for each activity you take part in and record your daily miles on the chart as you trek your way across the globe to Tokyo.

Every week there’ll be a new booklet for you to download from the Energise Me website - https://www.energiseme.org/schools/hampshire-school-games/hampshire-school-games-trek-to-tokyo/ containing different challenges for you to try and have a go at – you can even get your family and friends involved too.

So, how far is it to Tokyo? It’s 5,991 miles from Hampshire to Tokyo! That means you need to travel 1,000 miles a week to reach Tokyo by the end of the summer.

The booklets and further information can be found each week from 

Please see the following video for a taster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=UsHIBSXxjss&app=desktop

Good Luck and I hope to see you in Tokyo. 

Mr Knight

Year 3 Wow Wall

I cannot believe we only have 1 week left. However, I think we all deserve the summer holidays! Fingers crossed the sunshine stays so we can enjoy the rays. 

Well done for such another fantastic week of home learning. Your mystery stories have been inspiring and we have been really impressed with all of the features you have used to build the suspense. We have also had some spectacular art work produced this week. I think some of you will become amazing artists one day! 

We hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Stay safe!

Year 3 Wow Wall

With only 2 more weeks to go, we have been blown away by the amount of amazing work that has been sent in once again. Your mystery stories in particular have been a pleasure to read so well done! A special mention this week goes out to Abhinav for his amazing recreation of Paul Gaugin's art work. The key worker children were so inspired by his use of colour, that they then produced their own masterpieces! 

We hope everyone is keeping safe and you are looking forward to new beginnings in Year 4. Hopefully everyone has found out their new teachers now. If not, then look on the website and check parent mail. You will have a familiar face with Mrs Jones moving up with you! We will of course miss you but I am sure we will see you around the school on a daily basis.

Year 3 Wow Wall

We come to the end of another amazing week. Not only have we had some superb work being sent in, we have had other photos showing the wonderful things you are doing at home! From horse riding, to making cakes and constructing revolting sandwiches, it looks like you have been having fun on top of the home learning you have been doing. Leighton, in 3J, has been busy learning about different countries from around the world. This week, he has been learning all about Japan and even making origami which isn't an easy thing to do. Well done Leighton!

We hope you have all had a lovely week and managed to enjoy the beautiful sunshine. We have been trying to keep cool in school despite the scorching temperatures. 

Remember, you are all super stars and we are so proud of your achievements!

We have reached the end of another week and have had some more amazing work sent in this week. We are so proud of everyone and their achievements so keep it up! If anyone would like to send in some of their obstacle course designs, so we can put them on our playground for the year 3 key worker children, then please send them in! Remember, email all of your work to: year3@alderwood.hants.sch.uk 

All of the teachers are so proud of everything you have achieved this year despite the tricky circumstances. You are all amazing!
