It was wonderful celebrating sports day this week. The children were super and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Working together as a team to earn points that we were then able to add to whole school total was wonderful and the children really tried to work together. Plessington were the winners for our class, followed by Marsden, Harcourt and then Bamber. When our points were added to the whole school total, the overall winner was Plessington followed by Harcourt, Marsden and then Bamber. It was sad that we could not invite you to celebrate with us but we hope that you enjoy the photos, in the little video below showing how much the children enjoyed themselves.
This week, we have continued to explore our poem of the Spider and the Fly and this is proving really popular and exciting. We have had great fun reciting the poem and using different voices for both the spider and the fly. Connor Sean and Tabby, you were absolute stars! Well done also to Charlie who enjoyed doing this so much he went home and performed for his family. We really loved the little video of you reciting it that you sent via email. Thank you. In Maths we have revisited our addition and subtraction facts thinking about number bonds and strategies. We have continued to think about being a Christian in our RE and what Christians do to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. In Science the children have continued to learn about magnets and how they can be used as compasses.
Let’s Celebrate:
This week we celebrate Franek, Max, Connor Sean, Lily-Mae, Leo and Evan who have all reached their 100% reading target this week. Well done children, I have reset your targets and I know that you are all going to keep on trying so that you can get there again.
We have also celebrated another pen licence this week—well done to Iris. She is now able to use a pen in her written work. Well done - keep up the lovely handwriting.
This week we our certificates have been awarded to Harvey and Evan.
Harvey receives an Enthusiastic Bobby Bee certificate for his enthusiasm and smiley face this week. You are trying really hard with your work at the moment Harvey and really bubbling with your enthusiasm and willingness to try new things and get involved with your learning. You are also showing how sensible and supportive you can be too. Well done Harvey. Evan received our other certificate, a Resilient Sadie Spider. Evan you are always so brave and resilient and eager to find ways to do things that are tricky. You never give up and you just love a challenge. You amaze us all—well done!
Things to Note:
Father Peter has arranged to come into school and celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation with the children next Wednesday—June 23rd. Please chat to your child about this and encourage them to think about what they are going to say. We will be talking about this in school too. Hopefully the children will be able to celebrate their First Holy Communion at the beginning of the Autumn Term. Please read the letter which has come home today and return the form to school by Monday. Many thanks.
PE on Fridays is going to be outdoor PE this term so please make sure that the children have trainers and their PE kit. Many thanks. (Monday and Tuesday outdoor PE lessons will continue as normal.)
We hope that you all have a lovely weekend.
Take care and stay safe,
The Year 3 Team
