Year 3 Weekly Blog 14th June - "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." - William James

Our class worship was led by Alana, Louisa and Lucia, they read “A miracle at the temple gate’ Acts 3,4 and we enjoyed singing Shine Jesus Shine. Our word of the week has been Growth, we read about how a tiny mustard seed grows into a huge tree and how this showed us the importance of something so small. We compared it to small acts of kidness that make peoples day, small jobs that add up to something much bigger and small words that often show love and kindness. Next week we will be planting our own tiny seeds and nurturing them to help them grow into something much bigger which we hope will bring you some joy.

English: We have come to the end of our narrative writing unit this week as well as the end of our class novel “The Wild Robot". The children have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this heartwarming story. Today they have spent time writing a book review and designing posters for the movie. We’ve enjoyed watching the trailer - you can see it here.
Next half term we will be looking a classical poetry - the children have already had a sneak peek at some of the resources we will be using and are very curious and excited!

 

Computing: We’ve continued working on our Keynote presentations about St.Annes. This week we learnt how to add media to our slides.

PE - We managed to get outside on Monday afternoon and practised some of the events for our Sports Day. Sports Day will be on Wednesday 12th June at 1.30pm - Family and friends are welcome to watch and support their children.

Science - On Monday we had lots of fun with magnets, we set up four stations in the classroom. We made compasses, magnet mazes, suspended magnets and made them dance and I challenged the children to make magnets float using only a wooden dowel, playdough and some ring magnets.

Choir - Next half term Choir will be open to Year 3’s to join. Choir practise is on Thursday after school until 4.15pm with Miss Woodend. For more information and to sign up please see Miss Woodend’s blog post on the choir page here.

Conversation starter…

As we get ready for the final term of the school year, I would like to reflect on the year so far and think about what your goal will be for the next half term.

Which lessons have you enjoyed? Has there been a favourite topic or lesson this year? What have you found tricky? What has made you proud?
What would you like to achieve in the final term? How will you do this?

We will be setting ourselves goals in the first week back - I’m looking forward to hearing yours.

  • Nut Free School - Over the last couple of weeks we’ve noticed that items containing nuts are coming into school. It is really important that that doesn’t happen, there are children in school who have severe allergies and we need to ensure school is a safe place for them. Please help us with this by ensuring snack and lunchboxes are nut free this includes nut based spreads such as nutella and peanut butter, chocolate bars with nuts eg snicker type chocolates.

  • Helmets- We are hoping to buy some scooters for outside use on the playground, for money we have won for being the BEST class at walking to school! (Well done) We are wondering if anyone has any spare helmets their children no longer wear that they could kindly donate?

  • Sunglasses - Please do not send your children into school with sunglasses.

  • PE Days - Monday outdoor PE, Wednesday indoor PE. PE kits to be worn on these day, full school uniform the rest of the week unless your child has a sports club in the morning ie Judo on Friday.

  • Earrings - Must be removed for PE lessons, please do not send children in with tape or plasters to cover their earrings. If your child cannot remove earrings themselves please ensure they are removed at home before school.

Have a amazing half term and we’ll see you bright and early on Monday 10th June.
