Another busy week in Year 3, with lots of learning and co-operating with others.
This week in RE we have been thinking about the choices that we make and the choice that Mary made when she said “Yes” to God. We have started to think about our journey through Advent and have made our Advent Promises, thinking about what we are going to do during Advent as our gift for Jesus. In English this week we have made predictions and written what we think the next part of the story will be. We have been writing what different people have said using inverted commas. In maths this week, we have continued with our adding and subtracting and we have been bridging different hundreds. We have been practising counting in tens and bridging those hundreds. We are getting so much more confident and more proficient at doing this. (Keep practising at home too please). In Science we have continued with our topic of electricity and have been making and drawing simple circuits. Have a look at the photos below.
Let’s Celebrate:
This week our certificates go to Nicola and Stanley. Nicola you are always such a Bobby Bee and you are always so enthusiastic and eager to do your work. You are a little bundle of energy and love to get involved in your learning. Well done. Stanley you have been trying so hard with your reading and you are getting better and better and better at it. All your hard work is definitely paying off and I am so proud that you have reached your target again. Well done. Keep up the good work.
We are delighted that Lily-Mae, Franek, Evan (again), Jay (again), Nicola (again) , and Stanley (again) have achieved 100% of their reading target this week. Well done children. I am so proud of all the reading that you have all been doing. I know that there is another group of children who will achieve their target next week. Well done everyone. Well done also to Georgia who got the Lunchtime Role Model of the week for Year 3 and 4.
Things to Note:
Our class charity this year is Street Life. As a class, we have decided that we would like to do a Christmas Jumper Run on Wednesday 9th December. The children can come into school that day wearing their Christmas Jumpers, tracksuit bottoms and trainers. We would be delighted if the children could bring a donation of £1 on this day, which we will donate to Street Life.
On Tuesday 15th December we will be doing our annual Danceathon. This year it will be slightly different as we will not be able to do our early morning playground dancing but we will be able to do our dances throughout the day as we usually do. Also this year we will not be raising money for school based projects but all money that we raise as a class will go to our class charities, so the money we raise as a class will go to Street Life. We are asking for £1 donation rather than the usual sponsored event. Children are asked to wear their PE kits on this day.
Our Party Day this year is on Thursday 17th December. Children can wear their party clothes on this day and can bring a treat (chocolate bar or a packet of crisps) and a drink (not fizzy please) for their snack on this day. This year our parties will be based in the classroom but we will be having lots of fun and playing party games. (Please remember that children will be playing out at playtime and will need their coats and sensible shoes.)
Please can I remind you about the Home School Agreement form. 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.
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 COMPUTER 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
