Year 3 Diamond: Gallery
Date: 2nd Oct 2026 @ 11:24am
Diamond and Ruby class had a brilliant day in the sunshine learning all about the Stroudwater Canal. We walked along the towpath and learnt how canals were built, how some boats were pulled by donkeys as they were less likely to get stolen than horses and how locks worked. We saw the canal being dredged by a digger which the children found fascinating. Then we went to the visitor centre where we learnt about the restoration of the canal and took rubbings of 'tokens' (coins made to pay the navvies and the people that worked on the canal). We had a wonderful ride on a boat along the canal which was really peaceful. A big thank you to the volunteers who made day so special.

In RE this term we are learning all about how Jewsih people celebrate festivals. This week we looked at Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew for 'head of the year') the Jewish new year, a time to celebrate a fresh start. We ate apples and honey for a sweet new year and pomegranate seeds to symbolise good deeds.
