Another exciting week of learning in Year 3.

This week we have had our Autumn Internet Safety Day. We have thought about how to stay safe on line and also about what we should do to report an incident if we are not happy with what has happened to us on line. The children made super posters and wonderful E-Safety Heroes. We have also been busy reading and looking at vocabulary in our English. We have been thinking about speech and what people have said. We have been spotting this and thinking about how they have said it too. (Keep spotting speech when you are reading—look out for the inverted commas “ …”) Again in PE we have been working together as a teams. Our challenges today included working together to make different letters of the alphabet and untangling ourselves as a group from the knot. Again the children had to work together like little Roger Robins, to solve the problems. In maths this week, we have continued with our adding and subtracting. We are getting so much faster at recalling number facts too. (Keep practising) In Science we have been thinking about different uses of electricity. (See the home learning for a bit extra on this).

Let’s Celebrate:

This week our certificates go to Tabby and Angel. Both children received Bobby Bee certificates for their enthusiasm in class. Angel you have been so much more enthusiastic and ready to learn this week. You have also been much more organised. Well done. Tabby, you are always so enthusiastic and ready to do your work. You are also a kind and considerate learning partner. Well done! I am also so proud of Ruby-Lilly who received Jacqui’s Marvellous Manners certificate this week. Well done Ruby-Lilly..

We are delighted that Stanley, Nicola, Evan, Tabby, Iris, Angel, Leo, Matilda, Max and Ruby-Lilly have achieved 100% of their reading target this week. Well done children. You have been so focused when it comes to your reading and you have worked really hard, reading lots of books. I know we have another big group of children who are almost reaching their target and with all the reading that I know they will do over the weekend and next week, I am sure that we will have lots more children to celebrate next week. Well done children—keep up the good work.

Things to Note:

·We have been talking in class council this week about what we would like to do to raise money for our chosen charity, Street Life, this Christmas time. The children have decided that they would like to do a Christmas Jumper Run. More details to follow next week.

Please can I remind you about the Home School Agreement form which I sent the link for with your child’s mid term report. If you have not yet completed this form please complete and submit it asap. We are still awaiting responses from a number of families. Many thanks.
It is good to see that children are wearing layers in class and keeping warm. Thank you.
·Please make sure that you look at the home learning page for this week’s home learning. This should be completed by next Thursday. This week’s learning is BOOK BASED. Many thanks..

Thank you for all your continued support and co-operation this throughout the term. Another successful week!

We hope that you have a lovely weekend and have a chance to share some time together as a family.

Take care and stay safe
