"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." - Mahatma Gandhi

We welcomed our wonderful class back on Monday after the half term. It was great to hear all about the amazing adventures that have been had during these two weeks! The tans, new hair cuts and beaming smiles set the week off on a great note!

The children have been super busy celebrating our incredible Queen, learning all about her Coronation, her life from being a child and her reign. We are in AWE of her dedication from such a young age. On Wednesday we shared this celebration with the rest of the school as we came together for a picnic lunch. Although we had a soggy start to the day, God answered our prayers and dried out the playground… meaning we could all enjoy the picnic outside together! It was just wonderful to see everybody together… these moments haven’t been shared in what feels like forever! Everybody was up dancing, ice lollies in hand, marking this very special moment!

However, our learning hasn’t been solely been about the Queen, we have continued to share our class novel and are itching to finish the final chapter on Monday! I wonder if any of our predictions will be right?!

We have also been busy practising for our Sports day next Wednesday. I for one cannot wait for the children to show you their hardwork! Not only are they super competitive, trying their upmost. They have also become such compassionate and supportive sportspeople. Will are going to have the best afternoon!

Our sporting events don’t stop there! Our first group of children ventured out to Ashton Gardens today to experience Crown Green Bowling. The children were brilliantly behaved and absolutely loved learning about this new sport. I know our next two groups are equally excited to take part in this exciting opportunity! Well done Year 3! The previous blog has all the information needed regarding which groups the children are in and what they need to remember on their day.

Let’s Celebrate

Layla: You have wowed us with your focus and enthusiasm! We were blown away during maths, when you whizzed through your work on hundreds numbers.. you have been such a Bobby bee! You are working so hard and we could not be more proud of you! A huge well done Layla, keep up the great work!

Michael: A huge well done Michael! You have really stood out to us this week for your fantastic focus! We have been really impressed when looking at your work and seeing just how much you have got through, you haven’t wasted a second! As always, you have also been a wonderful, kind and supportive learning partner! Thank you Michael, you make us so proud!

Reminders

  • Please don’t forget that this coming Wednesday (15th June) we will be celebrating our Sports day. This will start promptly at 1:30 and should last for around 1 hour. Please make sure your child comes to school in their PE kits, their water bottle, a sunhat and sun cream. Thank you!

  • Crown Green Bowling: Each child will visit Ashton gardens over the coming weeks (one group have already done so) to take part in crown green bowling. Please see which group and day your child will be heading to Ashton Gardens. On their day they must wear their school PE kit, and suncream / coat - the British weather is SO unpredictable we are better off just covering all bases!

Change to PE days:

As from Monday 20th June our new PE days will be: Monday - Outdoor and Thursday - Indoor. Please make sure PE kits are worn on this day. Once again thank you!

Year 3 to go bowling!

A very exciting opportunity has come up for our class. We are off bowling in Ashton Gardens! Our school have been invited by Fylde Bowling Development Group and Fylde Council as they are keen to introduce more young people to the game of crown green bowling. This sport is ideal for all ages and abilities and the group are very keen to welcome the next generation of recreational bowlers.

Our Year 3 children will get to experience this in groups of 10 and therefore they will not all be taking part in bowling on the same day. The group will leave school in morning and be back in time for lunch.

Please find below the attached file to find out what date your child will be going.

Please make sure that on the Friday that your child will be walking to Ashton Gardens they:

  • Wear full PE kits

  • Come to school wearing sun cream

  • sunhats / coast (Weather dependent)

How exciting!

This week we have reached the end of our half term. We have continued our preparations for our sports day by spending time practising the remaining events. We have found that skipping is proving to be quite the challenge, but my, what perseverant children we have. They have wowed me with their enthusiasm and determination, organising themselves by spending their break times to practise this skill. I am so proud of them all and I know that you will be to when you watch them on Sports day next half term.

In English we have read chapter three of the Iron man and although this was a short chapter, wow did it pack a punch! We spent time exploring the new vocabulary along with the events that happened. We are desperate to read on! Roll on Tuesday when we return after the half term and we can find out what happens to the Iron man, Hogarth and the farmers!

We have continued our bridging in maths and once again the children’s confidence in crossing over and back the 100s and 10s boundary astounds me! As I reflect back over the week, I am sat remembering so many moments that made me smile as I watched the children work with their partner, helping each other with such kindness and compassion. Well done Year 3!

Let’s Celebrate!

Once again as we reach the end of our term, we ask the children to reflect and chose our certificates. I am always impressed when reading their comments about each other… they really do value such wonderful qualities in each other.

This half term the children would like to celebrate…

Niamh: “You are a Bobby bee! You are so focused in maths and are really good at it! You are also really kind and compassionate towards me and play with me at breaktimes.” … “for being so focused.” … “for being a really kind learning partner.”

Liam: “…because if somebody gets hurt when we are playing football you always make sure the game is stopped and check if the person is okay. You are very caring!” … “for being a really good co-operative Roger robin.” … “for being a really kind learning partner.”

Reminders:

  • Please remember that during the first week back we will be celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a whole school picnic outside (pray for sunshine). This will take place on Wednesday 8th June and the children are asked to wear red, white and/or blue to mark this very special occasion.

  • Sports day: Our sports day is on Wednesday 15th June at 1:30 and should last for 1 hour. On this day please make sure your child comes to school in their PE kits, their water bottle, a sunhat and sun cream.

We hope that you all manage to have a lovely two weeks break… I think this is something we are all very ready for! We cannot wait to welcome you all back on Monday the 6th June as we begin our final half term together. My goodness, the final half term… I am already getting emotional as I type that! Where has the year gone?

Also, please remember that the final half term is jam packed with different school events. Please keep looking at our class page and the schools calendar so that nothing passes you by.

We have continued to sink our teeth into our learning this week and have really been developing our cooperative skills. Many activities have included aspect of working with others. Although this has sometimes been challenging, it has also been so rewarding and the children are learning lots about themselves as learners!

In maths we have continued our bridging over the hundreds, this time with single digit numbers. Once again the children have shown wonderful focus and confidence and I am so pleased to say that many of us are now so confident to bridge both over and back from 100.

We have finished chapter 2 of the Iron Man in English. On Thursday we had a go at Rainbow writing. The children worked in house teams to see how much they could remember about the main characters and settings. Each house took it in turns to write on fact about a character/setting, making sure that they had read what had been written before them. The winning team was the house that wrote the most facts about the story so far. It was wonderful to see each house work together, building those all important cooperative skills, whilst also showing how much they had remembered about the text.

In PE this week we had a little practise of some of this years Sports day events, and I have a feeling that this year it could be a very close result! It was lovely to hear the children cheering one another.. roll on Wednesday the 15th when we are able to celebrate our children’s love of sports!

Let’s Celebrate…

Cora for being a cooperative learner! You are such a caring and thoughtful member of the class! You always offer to help when there is a job that needs doing or friend that needs help… this makes our classroom such a brighter place. Thank you Cora! We have also been impressed with your enthusiasm! You are always excited for the next challenge and have shown such eagerness towards your reading! Well done Cora.

Faye for being a focused and cooperative learner! A huge well done this week Faye! You have been so focused during our learning and have shared some good ideas during our discussions. Not only have you been very focused, you have also shown great determination and super teamwork skills during our PE and really encouraged those around you! Helping and supporting those around you is such a wonderful quality Faye and one that I know your friends, peers and teachers love about you!

  • Just a little reminder that on June 8th we are celebrating in style with a Red White and Blue Day. At lunch time we will enjoy a whole school picnic outside on the field (let’s pray for a sunny day!). Jacqui, our school cook, has ordered special lunchboxes which will be filled with a picnic feast.

In our PE this week we have continued to develop our teamwork skills to create an Iron Man dance. It is just wonderful to see the children working so cooperatively with each other! We have such a creative bunch, each groups dance is so unique and they come together beautifully. Well done Year 3!

The children continue to impress us with their focus and confidence during our maths work! We have continued to focus on using multiples of 10 to bridge over and back through 100. This week included lots of words problems, which did not prove to be a problem when we have such confident reasoners! They really are showing great depth, and whenever something is a challenge, we tackle these moments with great resilience! We are so proud of you all!

In RE the children have finished their diary entries as Peter. When marking their work I have been so pleased to see many of them using LOTS of their grammar skills, including one of our most recent… the ever difficult speech! Not only have they focused on these skills, they have also included many important moments in Jesus and Peter’s final days together, showing that they really know and understand the Easter story. Again, a huge well done Year 3! What a great week we have had!

Let’s celebrate:

This week our certificates have been awarded to Benjamin and Bella

In class we discussed words that we could use to praise Jesus. These words must include one of these suffixes: ness, less, ous or ful. See if you can create a list of a few new words that we didn’t think of in class. Could you explain the meaning of one of your words to us in class next week?

Year 3 Weekly Blog 29.4.22, "Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved."

The children have been full of enthusiasm this week as we continued our learning about the Iron man. We have focused on the vocabulary in the first chapter. The book really is filled with great description, we cannot wait to include it in our writing! In PE we have been using this description to create a short routine, dancing as though we are the Iron Man. The children have needed to develop their co-operation skills, ensuring their dances have included one movement from each member in their group. It has been great to see these skills develop; seeing the pride on everybody’s face when their movements have been included into the routine has been wonderful! Keep listening to each other Year 3, we want everybody to feel valued, you all have so many fantastic ideas!

We have continued to be wowed by the children's during maths this week. They have become SO confident in their bonds to 10, and to 100! We have been using this knowledge to help us to bridge over the hundreds. This week we have been deepening this knowledge even further by learning how to create our own number lines (to scale may I add) to show our reasoning when answering these questions. Your confidence is blowing us away! Well done Year 3!

Let’s celebrate with this week’s certificates:

This week we have two Roger robins!

Niamh: You make us so proud Niamh! You are such a kind, calm and caring learning partner, always taking on board your partner or groups ideas. I am sure we can say on behalf of anyone who has worked with you, thank you! Thank you for listening, thank you caring and thank you for respecting! Seeing and hearing your confidence continues to fill us with delight! We love hearing you share your thoughts and opinions. A huge well done!

Rose: You are such a caring and supportive member of our class and always make a wonderful learning partner. You respect everybody and understand that not only can you help somebody, but also learn from them too. We love hearing your kind words and celebrating those around you. Thank you Rose! You have also shown great determination towards you learning, not giving up, particularly in Maths. You are showing such wonderful resilience, we are so proud of you!

Reminders: Important food tech information!

  • Food Tech: Here are the new dates and new recipes for Food tech this half term. Please check which group your child is in and the date that you will need to bring the listed items. It is so important that they arrived to school on their day with all of the ingredients listed so that they are able complete their recipe. Thank you!

What a wonderful start we have had to our summer term in Year 3! Our children came into school on Tuesday, bright eyed and ready to go after their Easter break. Miss Brisco sang the children’s praises on Tuesday! They had all shown such brilliant focus, determination and cooperation throughout their first day together, and this only continued as the week went by. The children are really becoming so caring and compassionate towards each other and we could not be prouder of them!

This week we have been introduced to our new class novel, ‘The Iron Man’. Our English lessons have been full of drama as we have become familiar with the main character and our minds have become full of curiosity as to what may happen next. The children worked in groups to perform a poem based on the main character. Again, the children showed such great cooperative skills as they worked together, taking on board each others’ ideas to create a short piece of drama. Well done Year 3!

In math's we have been continuing our learning when bridging through 100. The children have WOWED us with their confidence and ability to explain their reasoning. This skill is so important across so many aspects in maths so seeing their confidence is just wonderful!

Let’s Celebrate!

Theo…You continue to impress us with your wonderful focus during our lessons. This week we have particularly noticed your super focus and determination during maths. You have become so confident when bridging over 100, we could not be more proud of you! Keep going Theo!

Rex… We were blown away with your confidence and enthusiasm during this weeks drama activities Rex! You moved brilliantly as the Iron man because you had listened so carefully to the words of the poet.

What a special moment it was on Wednesday! Our Year 3’s were so excited for you all to see their books and to share some of their favourite pieces of work so far. We have definitely missed your presence in school during the past year and a half. Having you in school to look at your children’s learning was just magical!

In class the children have been working very hard! The BUZZ of excitement during science has been infectious. This week our apprentices have had to work with their group to make a motor and a buzzer work. The children have worked together, listening to each others’ ideas and had problem solved when things haven’t gone to plan. Some groups had a few ups and downs as they needed to rethink their ideas.. but not one person gave up! Hearing their cheers of happiness and seeing their smiles when they have succeeded has been one of those wonderful teacher joys!

In English we have been continuing our learning of how to use inverted commas for speech and Maths we have grappled with some large numbers, looking at represented them with concrete apparatus and then using our reasoning skills to problem solve.

Our History has got in to full swing this week, as we thought carefully as to why Emperor Claudius may have wanted to invade Britain, after Julius Caesar had two failed attempts 98 years earlier. The children enquired and analysed explanations, looking for key evidence!

Let’s Celebrate!

Isaac…For always showing such interest and excitement towards learning. During your science this week you have shown great focus, resilience and so much enthusiasm towards making your circuits work. Seeing your face light up was an absolute delight! You have also made such great progress with your throwing and catching and we could not be more proud of your effort with this.

Pippa… We have been so impressed with your wonderful determination and ability to reflect on your work. It is an absolute pleasure teaching you. Your humour, kindness and your friendly way with others is so welcomed in our classroom. You listen carefully during discussions and we see this in your writing. A huge well done Pippa!

It’s been a jam-packed week for us in Year 3! Today we finished our class novel as we read and unpicked the final chapter together. We have had drama and debates as we have come to learn more about Tom and how he learnt to handle his emotions. The children have had to think deeply to understand the reasons for Tom’s actions, something which proved to be a bit of a challenge to begin with. I have been so impressed with their creative minds when constructing their sentences, we really do have many super writers!

We have continued to be curious and active learners, this week with the help of our wonderful parish priest, Father Peter. He joined us for a special virtual call and the children asked him different questions that they have been curious to wonder about. The children loved seeing Father Peter and listened with such interest to his wise words.

Let’s Celebrate!


A Focused and Enthusiastic learner : Gabriella

You have had a super week! It has been so nice to hear others in our class notice your kind actions throughout the week.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great… Anything is possible.

Well, what a wonderful couple of days we have had settling into our new class! We had a classroom full of smiles, as well as some nerves, as we welcomed our friends back on Thursday! The children settled in straight away and any of those nerves had soon disappeared! We have been SO impressed with our lovely new class family and the focus and enthusiasm they have already shown. One of our first activities has been practising our class mantra which we will be thinking about throughout our year, helping our classroom to be a happy place to learn together!

This morning, we were able to join together as a whole school family which was such a lovely way to kick start the new school year and has inspired us all to reach for those goals! We have also been looking at our two virtues that we will reflect on throughout the term. These are ‘Learned’ and ‘Wise’. I wonder what the children can remember about these two virtues?

Reminders:

· Please remember PE kits on Tuesday and Thursday.

· All forms MUST be completed. Please see the previous blog for the forms if you have not yet done so.

· If your child has asthma please make sure we have an inhaler in school (labelled).
