Year 3A spent a really interesting day at the recycling centre in Sharston, Manchester which is a facility for the management of Greater Manchester’s waste.
We learnt about the benefits that can be achieved by wasting less, recycling more and recycling correctly at home and at school.
Year 3 have been on a very informative trip to the Greater Manchester Recycling Centre and they were fantastic at representing Bowker Vale. During our trip we have toured the recycling centre and saw how the MRF sorts through the mixed recycling brought from all the areas in Greater Manchester. The children were able to apply what they have learned in science this year to help them work out how magnets helps us recycle!
The children did a great job applying what they had learned about recycling and were able to put their rubbish in the correct bins after lunch, we scored 38 out of a possible 40 points! Before leaving, we talked about how we can reuse things before looking to throw them out and do this alongside our efforts to recycle to reduce the amount of waste generated.
What a fantastic trip!
We have a beautiful portrait of our King to display and need some wonderful pupil work to go alongside it.
Choose an image below to describe. Think about your word choices and the information you would like a reader to know. You can research to find out more interesting facts, or you might have the ideas in your head already! Aim for 4-5 sentences. The most creative writers will have their work displayed next to the portrait.
What a wonderful email to receive from Sensei Gary Bohm. Congratulations to our amazing students who have done so well!

Year 3 collected a lot of rubbish from the playing field. The field looked a lot better after they had finished.
Well done Year 3 for helping to keep Britain tidy!
The children enjoyed NO PEN DAY today. In maths we measured capacity and volume litres and millilitres and in our reading lesson we practiced the play script Oliver Twist and performed it to the class.
3A had a brilliant morning learning how to read aloud effectively! They practised reading clearly, with feeling and expression using gestures and actions.
They read a play script from the story of Oliver Twist.
Amazing teamwork 3A and fabulous expressive reading!
In our Maths lesson 3A learned about capacity. They used containers of different sizes and carefully poured out different amounts of coloured water reading the scale on the side of the containers.
Amazingly very little water was spilled. The person to spill the most water was Miss Jones!
Well done 3A!
The children in 3M had a fantastic afternoon during science week as we investigated our science problem.
