Well this wasn’t the ending to the year we were expecting to have but the children have been wonderful today and although we are all so upset and disappointed that we can not be in school next week, we have gone home with smiles on our faces and a resolve to continue working next week. -I will put lots of lovely activities on to our Remote Learning page so that the children can continue with there learning, so please make sure that you all check it out. I aim to make these activities fun and hopefully the children will be able to access them independently.

The whole of the Year 3 team would like to say a great big thank you to all of the children and to yourselves for making this year a truly amazing one. We have really loved working with the children and watching them grow and develop.

We have had another super week in Year 3 full of enthusiasm and determination to try to reach targets before the end of the year. Earlier this week Mrs Lyons popped in to see the children and they will also get the chance to spend some more time with her next week too. Mrs Lyons will set a Zoom meeting for Tuesday morning so that the children will still get to spend time in the classroom with her - albeit virtually, The children really enjoyed it when Mrs Lyons popped in for a lesson this week and I know that Mrs Lyons was really impressed with the children.

This week in Maths the children have continued to explore shape. They have been learning all about parallel lines, perpendicular lines and symmetry. In English this week we have continued to explore our poem of The Spider and The Fly. We have written reports and have been concentrating on speech and using inverted commas. In RE we have been thinking about being a Christian and how sacraments help us to become closer to Jesus. We have also continued to think about relationships in RHE, thinking about what makes a good relationship and how we should behave.

Let’s Celebrate:

This week we celebrate Max who has reached his 100% reading target this week. Well done, I have reset your target.

Our certificates this week have been awarded to Alex, Stan and Rosa.

This week we have gone for a cheeky 3 certificates. Alex receives a Focused Cooper Crab certificate for his amazing focus and concentration this week. Well done Alex. Being so focused this week has meant that you have done some super work. We are so impressed—keep up the good work. Well done also to Rosa who also receives a Focused Cooper Crab certificate. You are working so hard at the moment and being so focused on your work. What a great job you are doing. Keep up the good work. Well done. Our third certificate goes to Stan who was an amazing co-operative Roger Robin for your organizational skills and the way that you co-operated with your group in our History lesson. Well done Stan.

Iris received Jacqui’s Marvellous Manners certificate this week and Christian received the Lunchtime Role Model of the week. Well done children we are so proud of you.

Things to Note:

Next week the children should have been bringing home their books, unfortunately there was not time to sort all of these today but we will make sure that we keep these safe and the children can have them in September.

The children have brought home their art shirts today. Please could these be washed and saved for next year when they will be needed again. Thank you.

We hope that you all have a lovely weekend.

Take care and stay safe,

The Year 3 Team
