We looked at different shows, watched clips and had a story told by a teacher who has been on set of one of the shows!. We even got to play our own version of ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ We seem to have a few millionaires in our class now!

On Tuesday Year 3 took a trip to our local Baptist church ‘Cowley Hill Free Church (Baptist)’. Children got to listen to some of the Baptist Church’s religious views and different features within the church. We listened to a few readings from the Bible and it gave children a chance to ask any questions they had. They showed us images and a video of a previous Baptism that had taken place. We had some snacks and received some bookmarks to bring home so we were delighted!

Year 3 had the pleasure of visiting the library this week.

Children enjoyed a relaxing morning reading a book of their choice. Staff at the library were welcoming and happy to help children navigate the shelves. Each child came home with a book mark which they can personalise and get stamped for every book they read. Thank you Borehamwood Library!

Keep up the hard work Year 5!
