Welcome to Mars!
We are a Year 3 and 4 class taught by Mr Simpson. Keep checking our page to see all the exciting things we have been up to!
Remember: Homework is given out on Wednesdays and is due in the following Monday. We encourage children to read as regularly as possible, and expect their school reading book to be read at least 3 times a week and recorded in their planner. PE days are Tuesday and Friday and children should come into school wearing their PE kits on these days.

Today we had a day that was all about Maths, finding ways to put our cool Maths skills to the test.
We were put into mixed teams with a Year 4 as captain.
In the morning, we were given a series of puzzles and codes to solve. For some of them, we had to photograph a QR code to access the clues. For another, we used elimination to work out which astronaut had been stealing space provisions during a vital space flight.
In the afternoon, we met Liam and George who had brought in a shape challenge and a 'Locked Box' puzzle, which meant we had to use Maths to work out padlock combinations. We were up against each other - the pressure was on. It was a great day - thank you to Miss Perkins for organising it for us.
As part of our Tuesday afternoon activities (Games, ICT, Music) we have been enjoying brushing up on our football skills from Mr Turner. We have been improving our passing skills and learning about running into an open space.
Our classroom is all set up and ready for some learning. As you can see, this term we will be learning all about Space and Space Travel, as well as finding out about all the different types of Rocks which are around us. Did you know that the pebble you pick up on the beach could be thousands, if not millions of years old? That's even older than Mr Simpson!
