    This week, the children have continued to work really hard during their swimming lessons and it is lovely to see their confidence grow! We also celebrated National Poetry Day, where we found out about different poets and poems before exploring 'The Jabberwocky' by Lewis Carroll. We tried to understand the nonsense vocabulary before creating our own. There were lots of great ideas.

    We have had a lovely week this week.  We have been busy finishing our travel guides in English about a place in North America and enjoyed celebrating Poetry Day.  We worked together to create a poem based on Neil Gaiman's poem - 'What You Need To Be Warm'.  Take a look at some of our finished pieces below.  In maths, we have been working on column addition and subtraction.  Everyone has worked really hard.  We had an exciting assembly today to introduce a new maths club that will be happening after half term.  Make sure you check out the flyer and sign up!

    This week, we have started our new English unit of Instructions and have been looking at their features, linking adverbials and thinking about how we made our salt dough plaques and writing instructions about how to make them. It was good to get out of school and visit the church for the harvest festival (and see a wonky cucumber- Mrs Marshall is confused by this as she wasn't there!) In Science, the children were able to complete a couple of experiments to further help them understand the process of digestion.

    We have continued to cut our wood for the shaduf models we will be making next week..

    Remember Egyptian Day is on Monday- we will be meeting Queen Cleopatra

    Wow what a busy week, with Harvest Festival, Poetry day and our Parent Workshop. In Maths we have continued to learn place value and how we order numbers to 1000 we even tested our skills on ‘Blooket’. In English we have continued to write sentences that will go towards our newspapers reporting on the discovery of fire. On Poetry Day our chairs decided that they had had enough and they went on strike, so Year 3 got together to write poems to ask for the chairs to return from strike and they also performed their poetry. We will post the poems and some of the reactions to this day. Thank you to parents that came to our reading workshop we stepped into the characters footsteps of one of our class books ‘the wild girl’ and the children asked some brilliant questions. We hope you have a restful weekend as next week is our Stone Age Day, we can’t wait to see all the children dressed up and immersed into the Stone Age world.
