We had a very hectic week, especially as everything needed to be packed in the classroom, ready for Mrs Christmas to take over Year 3 next year. It was lovely seeing her at the Leavers' Concert. Everyone in Year 6 did so well with her guidance.
In our class we all made a book each to leave as a present for next year's class to read. We had such fun writing them and did our best to use all the skills we'd learnt during the year, making them look professional.
We also thought of the changes ahead and how good Year 4 will be.
We had a great time at our Teddy Bears Picnic. So much delicious food to eat - thanks to our mums and dads.
So the it's the last day of Year 3. Time to play with our friends and share a fun day. 'Goodbyes and thank-yous' to everyone who has helped us so much. We made cards for them all.
A short message from me to say a big thank-you to those children who gave me cards and gifts. They were beautiful and very much appreciated. The messages really touched me. Thank-you all very much.
Enjoy a wonderful holiday everyone.

Authors, mysteries and next year!
We have been watching a great video this week. It's really inspired us in our own writing as it's ghostly and creepy, but has great characters too.
We are all busy writing an extended story to leave in the class for next year's Year 3 to enjoy. We're doing our very best writing and producing the covers on the computer so it's like a real published book.
We have a variety of settings - some abroad!!
We're trying to use all we've learnt about writing this year as well as our own imagination. Hope you enjoy them next year Year 2!
Today is Swap Day when we all move up to our new classes for the morning to meet our new teacher and see our new rooms. "It felt different!" said Steven, when he returned.

Fountain Photographs and Interviews / Egypt Challenge
It seems our fountain project has been discovered by the media.
Kiera here. We had to stand by the fountain and we had to put our hand under the water as it shot up. Just as I did it the wind blew and I got soaked. My photograph was taken any way and I can't wait to see if its used in the TES.
Emma here. I was interviewed by a lady who asked me how the fountain worked. I had to stand by the fountain and try and touch the water as she took my photograph. We also had to jump on the sensors to the water went higher or lower. It was fantastic fun.
We are also thinking of an area of the subject of Ancient Egypt to research and present to the class. We may make a play, a poster, a poem or film as long as it tells the rest of the class about the subject.
Sam B here. As part of our challenge about Egypt I am making a poster about the pyramids. I've done some research to find out how they were built. The got loads of stone and added them in layers in the the shape of a square based pyramid. inside were amazing tunnels leading to a Pharaoh's tomb.
Everyone in Year 3 is excited about tomorrow's fete and the Fountain launch next Wednesday.
