On Monday 18th October, Year 3 were lucky to take part in a drama workshop led by Ian from KIC Theatre.  He introduced them to our new book for next term – Leon and the Place Between.  The children were learning all about using space to express themselves whilst also understanding what it is like to have very little space to work in!  They all had a fantastic time and were able to use this to express themselves in their opening lessons about Leon during the week.

Every week we love to celebrate the achievements of our children in our whole school worship.

This week we were able to celebrate:

Our Star of the Week- Kain (Maple Class)

Our Reader of the Week-  Ines (Willow Class)

Our St Barnabas the Encourager award winners- Aarna (Willow Class) and Harry E (Maple Class)

Our Ambition value award winners- Maxim (Willow Class) and Neve (Maple Class)

 

Well done everyone on a fantastic week living out our School Vision, we can’t wait to have another amazing week with you all.

Mr Hooper (Willow Class) and Miss Welsh (Maple Class)

This year in maths we will be focusing on Key Instant Recall Facts with a different focus each term.

Year 3’s term 1 focus is: ‘I know number bonds for all numbers to 20′.

To complement the children’s learning at school, please could you help them at home as the key to these facts becoming embedded in the children’s memory is to practise little and often.

If you have any questions, please contact your class teacher via ClassDojo.

So this is it, the final term of the year and we cannot wait to see you back!  We have an exciting term to look forward to as we learn, play and continue to create great memories in our time together.

We are continuing with our theme about the Romans and we will see this particularly as part of our English non-fiction learning, building on what we have learned so far. Although we have moved on from plants, we will continue to look after our vegetable beds and plats, but our science focus will move on to ‘Light’, learning how it helps us, reflections, shadows and some fun investigations along the way.  In RE, we will be returning to dive deeper into the Sikh faith and look out how Sikh people worship and celebrate.  We will continue to focus on reading, with all children reading to an adult every day (please also continue to read at home everyday for 10 minutes) in addition to whole class reading and small group guided reading sessions.  In maths, our focus returns to fractions to refresh our lockdown learning and build on this.  We will also be looking at time and shape.  We are looking forward to sharing our adventures with you on our ClassDojo pages.

Welcome back everyone! We are looking forward to an exciting term learning, playing and creating memories together.

We will be looking at the Romans this term, how they impacted Britain and their legacy.  Our science focus is ‘Plants’ and we are looking forward to carrying out various experiments and getting outside to work on the freshly restored vegetable beds (thank you Mrs Gunn!). In RE, we will be looking at what happened after Easter when Jesus spent time with His disciples before ascending to heaven and sending them the gift of the Holy Spirit. We will continue to focus on reading, with all children reading to an adult every day (please also continue to read at home a minimum of 4 times a week for 10 minutes) in addition to whole class reading and small group guided reading sessions.  In maths, our focus is money as we recap place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.  We are looking forward to sharing our adventures with you on our ClassDojo pages.
