Class 3

Wednesday 13th June 2018

WOW! Class 3, you have had such a fab few weeks. Last week saw you starting your new and exciting topic of African poetry in English. We are so impressed at the way you were mature at tackling metaphors. You rock! In maths, you have worked super hard at consolidating and expanding your knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes, as well as learning about area. 

Remember that Wild for Art day is on Friday- there will be lots of super creative activities that you will be able to take part in, and next week your learning will be focused around a particular musical. All will be revealed soon! 

Keep up the brilliance superstars!

What a fab few weeks, we are now fully immersed into our creative theme 'Wanderlust'. We have been blown away with your passion and resilience in our history lessons. You have remembered so many facts about the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. Not only have you been resilient learners in our creative lessons, but you have also been confident mathematicians. You are now finally believing that you are all brilliant. 

Keep up the brilliance superstars!

WOW WOW WOW! Class 3 you rock! We have been amazed at the brilliance that you have produced this week in all areas within the curriculum. It has been fab to see you coming in each morning with  huge smiles on your faces and ready to learn. The way you have tackled challenging fractions problems in maths has made us so proud- you are all confident, resilient mathematicians who are not frightened of a challenged. 

We also started our Ancient Egyptian topic and learnt about the gory process of mummification. YUK! Can you remember the process? If so, why not tell the people at home! 

We hope you have a fantastic weekend. 

See you bright and early on Monday.

WOW! This week you have been bursting with brilliance in a very tropical way. Well done for starting our new English topic in such a positive way. We have a sneaky feeling that by the end of next week you will have created your very own holiday brochure for Paradise Falls, which will be bursting at the seams with all the grammatical features that we have been learning about. 

We hope you have a fantastic weekend! 

See you bright and early on Monday!

Team Awesome! 

WOW! You have blown our socks off with your brilliance. Each and every one of you has successfully written your very own set of instructions for your disgusting dish. You put Mr and Mrs Twit to shame! YUK!  It was wonderful to see you so enthusiastic about your learning when we made our disgusting dishes using sweets. Go Team Awesome! In maths, we saw your confidence blossom and you using your number knowledge to extend your understanding in our measurements lessons.

We are so excited to see what work you will produce in your next block of English lessons, which is linked to Toy Story. What kind of genre do you think you will be writing? Thank you for always aiming to be the best you can be and for making each day wonderful and unique. We can't wait for all the brilliance to shine in Spring term.

Our buzz word in PSHE is responsibility. We have been talking about our different responsibilities within our school community and in the wider world. Using our knowledge and understanding of responsibility, we are currently planning to create a short video highlighting the reasons why it is good to be positive members of the community.

Team work makes the dream work!

Back to '77

What a fantastic way to end the half term by going back to '77. We loved all of your costumes and your groovy dance moves in our whole school assembly when Miss Harrison taught us all how to do Saturday Night Fever. Not only were the dance moves and clothes amazing but your writing in Big Write knocked our socks off. We enjoyed reading them because not only did you remember to use lots of the features that we had discussed but your enthusiasm really shone through.

We hope you have a fab half term and have lots of fun with your family and friends.

We are in full swing of poetry in our English lessons and the children have already blown us away with their onomatopoeia knowledge they showed us this week. Our brains were hurting a little bit after our maths lessons where we learnt the difference between compact and expanded form. The children were absolutely amazing and there were many light bulb moments.

Thank you to those of you who have handed back your slips for our partnership meetings. If you haven't already done so, please reply as quickly as possible to ensure you get the time that is suitable for you. Also, remember that it is Talk and Share on Tuesday after school where the children can share the work they have produced so far in this academic year.

Have a fab weekend- see you bright and early on Monday morning superstars!

What a week! Well done to Daisy and Maddie who read their poems out in our harvest assembly- we couldn't be more proud of you girls! We had so much fun consolidating our weighing knowledge in maths this week, with the added bonus of making delicious rocky road. However, we are a little disappointed that none of you shared your rocky road with any of the adults!

Next week, we move away from The Flintstones and turn our focus to poetry, which will have lessons on onomatopoeia and personification. We have an exciting Friday planned for you, where all lessons will be based on promoting healthy eating.

Well done Class 3 for another epic week! See you bright and early on Monday morning.

Each week you give us a little more brilliance and it is simply fabulous! We have been thrilled to see how your maturity, positive thinking, being a good friend and wanting to be the best you can be has helped you to achieve. We had lots of fun creating our own algorithms by using directional and prepositional language.The adults are very excited about next week's maths lessons, because we will be applying our knowledge by the end of the week and making yummy rocky road. Woooo!

Our harvest food donation box is nearly full but it would be fab if we could fill it to the top in preparation for the harvest assembly on Friday afternoon. Well done to those of you who have been reading on a regular basis and practising spellings... Hard work really does pay off!

Have a fantastic weekend! See you bright and early on Monday morning.

Another week completed, another week where you have shone like the little superstars you are! We have thoroughly enjoyed reading your Flintstones inspired stories- they were very funny! Next week, we will continue to build on our knowledge about soil and all the elements that are needed. Why not show the people at home our Talk for Writing actions that we  created to remember the five layers. For the next two weeks, our English lessons will be focused around letter writing. Which Flintstones character will you be writing to?

Have a fantastic weekend and we look forward to seeing you bright and early on Monday morning.

Simply Bursting With Brilliance!

WOW! What a fantastic start to year 3... You have blown our socks off! We have had so much fun getting to know you and have been impressed with your mature, positive attitude to your learning in all areas within the curriculum. For the next few weeks, our English lessons will be based on The Flintstones and in science we will introduce Talk for Writing when we learn about the soil profile. We have a sneaky feeling that all of you are going to be showing us your brilliance and we hope you see the adults bursting with brilliance too!
