What a lovely week we have had in Year 3. It has absolutely flown by but has been filled with the buzz of learning and the excitement of Christmas preparations and our Christmas Jumper Jog too.
We would like to say a big thank you to you all for your donations for our Christmas Jumper Jog - all monies will be sent to Street Life, a local charity doing such an amazing job supporting homeless people in the local area. The children all looked lovely in their Christmas jumpers and we had so much fun running around the playground at every opportunity we could get. (We were really lucky with the weather too.) We also made some beautiful cards to send to Street Life to give out over Christmas. Well done children.(See the attached photos below.)
We have continued to be busy with all of our learning this week. Have a look at our photos to see some of the things that we have been doing.
Let’s Celebrate:
This week our certificates go to Franek and Charlie. Both boys received Enthusiastic Bobby Bee certificates. You are both becoming so enthusiastic and eager to do your work. It is so lovely to see your smiling faces and your enthusiasm. Keep up this wonderful Bobby Bee Buzz. Well done boys.
We are delighted that Rosa, Alexander, Matilda (again), Betsy, Ruby-Lilly (again),Nicola (3rd time - WOW!!!!), Leo (3rd time—WOW!!!! and Charlie have achieved 100% of their reading targets this week. Well done children. I am so proud of all the reading that everyone has been doing. You are all doing an amazing job. I know that there is another group of children who are so close to reaching the top of the rainbow and will achieve their target before the end of term and I am sooooooo excited. Well done everyone.
Well done also to Molly-Ann who received Jacqui’s Marvellous Manners Certificate this week. Manner are so important and cost us nothing.. Well done Molly-Ann.
Things to Note:
· 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 (single coins again please) rather than the usual sponsored event. Children are asked to wear their PE kits and trainers 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.) We will also be enjoying our school Christmas dinner cooked by our lovely Jacqui on this day (or packed lunch if your child has packet lunches—maybe you could try to make this a bit Christmassy!! Thanks)
· 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.
· We break up from school next Friday 18th December for Christmas. Marsden and Harcourt 12:45pm as usual. Bamber and Plessington at 1pm as usual.
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
