Fuss Free Friday

In year 3 we have what is called 'Fuss Free Friday.' This is an opportunity for the children to make independent decisions about when, how and where they work, Expectations remain high, but there is a real sense of the children taking control of their own learning. Plus, it's a lot of fun too!
Following interactive instructions - this was quite challenging, but we got there.

Choosing to work alone 

Deciding which activity to do

Supporting each other when it's tricky

Opting for a quiet area to work in
