Y3 Mother's Day cards.

Y3G have been making Mother's Day cards this week and we showed them in our sharing assembly on Friday. We also foud out how it was that Mother's day began way back in the sixteenth century when maids and servants were given the day off to visit their mothers!

Y3G have been busy!

Following on from last week's book week, we made up our own mini-books based on the Anglo Saxon period which we have been studying in History. We found out lots of interesting information which we included in our books. Things like the names of the days of the week which are Anglo Saxon in origin and also place names ending in -ton
, -ing and -ham (Luton, Chessington and Birmingham) as well as many others. We also noticed that there is one single Anglo Saxon wooden church still in existence, (all the others have long since rotted away) and it stand in a little town called Ongar which is only 11 miles away from Hainault. Our teacher Mr. G knows Ongar very well since he lived there for five years.
