They sung beautifully and really joined in with the actions for the song while singing. Well done everyone😊🎄

Today we have been taking part in a Skills builder day- Operation Moonbase. We were set different challenges throughout the day using all of the different Skills Builders. We have had lots of fun creating our own society thinking carefully about which 4 people would go to Utopia and which buildings would be the most important. In the afternoon we worked together to prepare a presentation of our society to the rest of the class.
The children have taken part in various skills builder challenges! They have worked especially hard to create their own, impressive 3D models of what a society on Utopia may look like! Well done Year 3!
