Check out year 3's fab monster models!

Year 3 have just finished their learning unit, 'Myths and Monsters!'  Year 3 started by hunting the mysterious monster of Fordingbridge!  

They have been busy writing their own myths and published it in a handmade pop up book with moving parts!  They have advertised their books by making websites, posters, films and display stands and then created their monster characters in 3D using paper mache, and wrote descriptions and poems!

Check out our amazing monster models and pop up books!

Blue Peter Competition

Looking for something to do?

Blue Peter and Buckingham Palace are giving you the chance to design an emblem that will be used in the celebrations of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, marking her 60 years on the throne.
The winning emblem will be seen by millions of people around the UK and the World, and will appear on everything from posters to commemorative teacups!
To enter, here's what you need to do:

• Design your emblem on an A4 sheet of paper
• Don't include an image of The Queen
• Do include a crown somewhere on the design

An emblem is a simple picture that represents something significant. For this competition, your emblem should represent The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Look at these simple guidelines, then see the Inspiration page for a few ideas:

• Your emblem design should be creative. Make it stand out from the crowd! How will it be different from everyone else's design?
• Your emblem design should be simple so don't add too much detail! It can be colourful, but needs to look good if converted to black and white.
• Your emblem design should be relevant and easy to recognise. In other words, it should make people think of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
•  Check out Dos and Don'ts, find inspiration for your emblem design, and read the FAQs. For a full list of the rules, and the address for your entries, see the Terms and Conditions.
