What a fun way to end our week! It was wonderful to see all of the Key Stage 2 children making such lovely Christmas memories during our Christmas party today. The singing, and roaring laughter filled the school with Christmas cheer! All of the children had a wail of a time playing musical statues, pass the parcel, silent footsteps … and who can forget those cheeky forfeits!

We had another beautiful moment yesterday as we performed our Christmas carol concert! The nerves started to grow as we walked to church, but as soon as the music started the children were ready to share the Christmas story with such enthusiasm and pride. It was absolutely beautiful and certainly brought a tear (or ten) to my eye!

Along with all of the festivities, we have been cracking on with our dragon writing. We are prepped and ready to go for our big independent write on Monday! We aim to put all of our learning to good use, so that together, we can create a ‘Dragon Hunters guide’. The children have shared with one another their homework from last week, and have discussed the dragons that they have spotted in recent weeks. We have also spent time discussing key features of non-chronological reports and we plan on using this knowledge, along with our growing grammar and vocabulary, to help us when we write our own non-chronological report about our dragons!

Reminders:

Please bring a carrier bag with you on Monday as we will be clearing out our trays and sending bits and pieces home.
Christmas dinner is on Monday next week.
Next week we break up at 2pm on Tuesday.

Wishing you the most wonderful, Holy and happy Christmas.

Your ever growing Year 3 team xxx
