It was absolutely wonderful to welcome all of the children back to school again on Monday and we have had a lovely week being a whole class again. There has been lots of chatter and smiles but lots of work done too. It has been super to see how all of the children have grown, not only in height but in their learning too.
The children have been amazing at remembering the routines that we have in place and taking care to look after each other. They have also delighted us with their “I can..” attitudes and their enthusiasm. We know that with positivity like they have demonstrated this week, the rest of the term and year will be a great success. Well done children, we are so proud of you all.
We have been busy all week with our learning and have shared feelings about lockdown, celebrated how much the children have grown and learned during lockdown, continued to learn how to multiply and divide in maths, been writing our own adventure stories, started our science topic of magnets, practised our tables, spelling and handwriting, enjoyed PE lessons, worshiped together, looked at the virtues of love and compassion and thought about how we can demonstrate these, discovered more about the Arctic, been creative in art, enjoyed our massage and music lesson, done loads and loads of reading and taken a new Star reading quiz and loved just being back together again. We are happy again!!!
Let’s Celebrate:
Christian, Lily-Mae and Daisy have reached 100% of their reading targets this week. Well done - What stars you are! Keep up the good work children.
This week we are celebrating Anncia, Lily-Mae and Alex. Alex you have been so enthusiastic this week and really wanted to get involved with all of your learning. It has been lovely to see your smile and excitement at seeing all of your friends too. Keep up the good work Alex. Anncia you receive a Sadie Spider certificate because you are so enthusiastic and such a Sadie Spider. You keep on trying and trying and trying and not giving up, because of this you are learning so much. Well done. Lily Mae you receive a Lizzie Ladybird certificate because you keep trying and want to keep improving with your learning. You have also been such an enthusiastic Bobby Bee too. Keep up this wonderful work Lily-Mae.
Things to Note:
· Mrs Curtis has asked that the children all have an art shirt (adult sized t.shirt to go over their school uniform) for art lessons on Mondays. These will stay in school until summer. Thank you.
ALL children will now be doing art on Mondays.
PE days have changed for some of the children too. Please see the lists below for the new grouping for outdoor PE (tracksuits and trainers needed please). All children will continue to have indoor PE on Friday (shorts needed please).
Monday PE lessons: Angel, Alexander, Betsy, Charlie, Evan, Franek, Francesca, Leo, Leon, Matilda, Max, Millie, Nicola and Owen.
Tuesday PE lessons: Alex, Anncia, Christian, Connor Sean, Daisy, Edi, Georgia, Harvey, Iris, Jay, Lily-Mae, Molly-Ann, Ruby Lilly, Rosa, Stanley and Tabby.
Please make sure that the children have their PE kits on both of their PE days. Just a reminder that ear-rings can NOT be worn for PE. Also, if ear rings are worn in school they must be small, simple stud ear rings - for safety reasons.
Children complete lunchtime PE activities with Mr. Nay on Tuesdays and Thursdays—some children may find it easier if they change into their trainers for the lunchtime session.
The children have come home with World Book Day vouchers today. Storyellers Inc are putting on a stall outside the shop on Saturdays 10-2 during March, so that children can redeem their vouchers.
Please look on the button below to see the letter from Fr Peter and Miss Hornby about this year’s Reconciliation and Holy Communion programme. Thank you
We would like to thank you all for your continued support.
Have a lovely weekend and Happy Mothers’ Day to all of our mums.
Take care and stay safe,
The Year 3 Team
