"Year 3 is quite different to year 2- we don't play with toys now, we do geography and DT"
From a new Year 3 boarder "It's fun, we can go to the tuck shop on Wednesdays and play on TV games. The older boys showed me where everything was"
"In DT we've already made a windmill, an indian game and an elephant mask".
"I like music best- I make up lots of songs at home because I'm going to be a pop star when I grow up, I'm on my second album already"
