It might have been the last week of this half term but that hasn’t meant that we have slowed down with our learning. The children have continued to be very enthusiastic with their work this week, demonstrating what they have learned and being real Bobby Bees. Well done children. You are all ready for a well earned rest and chance to recharge your batteries. When we get back to school for our final half term, I know that you will put every effort in to making the remaining 6 weeks in Year 3 amazing.

This week in Maths we have continued to practise a wide variety of skills in our fluency and to keep our skills ticking over. We have also continued with our measurement work and read scales of different increments in order to measure capacity, length and weight. The children have needed to use their counting and multiplication skills to help them with this. In English this week we have written more information leaflets all about the Romans. The children have been keen to demonstrate all the different skills that they have been learning. We have been focusing on complex sentences and correct use of commas and also on writing questions too. Neat handwriting has also continued to be a focus and we have celebrated even more Pen Licences - see our celebrations below. Well done children. In RE, we have learned all about Pentecost and how Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help His disciples and how the Holy Spirit can help us too. The children have written lovely diaries as though they were one of the apostles. In RHE the children have been looking at relationships and forgiveness and how we can show our love for others through this.

Let’s Celebrate:

Well done to Harcourt who were the winning house in our class this week. It has been lovely to see you in your own clothes. I wonder which team it will be in our final half term.

This week we celebrate Iris, Ruby Lilly and Rosa who have achieved their 100% reading target this week. Well done children - keep up the good work!

We have celebrated more pen licences this week and Angel, Alexander and Leo are now able to use a pen in their written work. Well done - keep up the lovely handwriting. I know we will have more pen licences when we get back to school after half term. (See the home learning page for ideas of how to practise your handwriting over half term.)

This week we are celebrating Georgia and Alexander. Georgia receives a Lizzie Ladybird certificate for her hard work and desire to keep improving this week. Georgia you have really listened to advice and that has really helped you. Well done keep up the good work. Alexander receives an enthusiastic Bobby Bee certificate this week Well done Alexander. It is so lovely to see you getting excited about your learning. You have been really joining in with our learning this week and your hand has been up whenever we have asked questions.
