Artists in 3O

The children in 3O have been busy practicing their shading and sketching techniques in school, getting ready to complete their Year 3 self-portraits. I really enjoyed looking at their work and talking to them about what they learn about and enjoy in art and design lessons at school.

Year 3 trip to Greater Manchester Recycling Centre

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!

King Charles Display – Yr3 and 4

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.
