Year 3 Ness Gardens, by Miss Jones

Date: 1st Jul 2019 @ 8:22am

Year 3 had a wonderful time at Ness Botanical Gardens last Friday. The sun was shining and there was plenty to see. We enjoyed a tour around the gardens and looked at many beautiful plants and flowers. We even planted our our radish or bean seed to bring home and watch grow. After that, we learnt all about the life cycle of a flowering plant. The lady leading the tour was very impressed with the childrens' knowledge and understanding. Then, we did a bee hunt and explored their habitat. Did you know bees have a very important role in the reproduction of plants. We then enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch before exploring the rest of the gardens. 

The children were a credit to Oldfield with their excellent behaviour, inquisitiveness and curiosity.  

Thank you to Mrs Pierce, Mrs Hampson, Mrs Batchelor and Mrs Davies for coming along and helping with trip. We hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did.

Active maths in Year 3, by Miss Jones

We have enjoyed competing TWO active maths activities today. We worked in the hall and in our classroom because of the rainy weather but that did not stop us having lots of fun. 

We have practised reading time on analogue clocks and we have been estimating how long something would take to do. What could you do in an hour? A minute? A second? 

Year 3 Residential - Tattenhall 2019, by Miss Jones

Date: 20th May 2019 @ 7:23pm

What a brilliant time we have had! 

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their first residential experience at Tattenhall last Thursday and Friday. The weather was glorious on the first day so we spend as much time as possible outside. We weaved willow to make a fish sculpture, played team building games and enjoyed bouldering in pairs. After tea, we all went on the Millennium Mile walk around Tattenhall village before spending lots of time in the adventure park.  On the second day, we took part in den building and fire lighting sessions. We even roasted some sweet treats on the fire. 

All of the adults involved in the trip were amazed by the children’s determination, politeness and excellent behaviour.

Thank you to Mrs Woodington, Mrs Woodward, Mr Brown and Mrs Davies for assisting with the trip.
