Happy Monday Year 3! 🙂

Wow! What an exciting weekend of snow!  We hope you managed to get out and enjoy it either sledging / snowballing / snowperson making!  If you are happy for us to share a photo of your snow fun on the website please email a picture to year3@abbeyroadprimary.co.uk.  We will create a snow fun album so we can see what each other has been up to! Staying connected with your friends is so important at this time – and photgraphs are one way in which we can do that!

As well as the snow, we hope you all have managed to do something you enjoy this weekend and allowed yourselves a well-earned break from your schoolwork.  We know it feels strange in so many ways right now but there is still so much to enjoy.  We are focusing on looking for the joy in everyday life whether that be getting out in nature for your daily walk, reading a new book or devouring your favourite sweet treat.  It would be lovely to hear about the joys in your everyday lives.

We hope you have re-energised read for this week’s learning tasks.  As always, remember, we are here for you should you need anything just send us an email at

Science

We were so impressed with your biographies of Mary Anning.  She certainly was an amazing paleontologist.  Today we are going to learn exactly how fossils form.  If you have any blu-tack / playdough etc at home, you will need it to have a go at one of the activities. Alternatively, you can make some simple dough using some store cupboard ingredients. Click on the link below!
