Year 3 Blog 23.9.22 "Unity is strength... When there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved." - Mother Teresa

Our week began on Tuesday this week, it was lovely to speak to the children and share how they marked the Her Majesty’s funeral service at home the day before. Thank you for completing this weeks homework, the children enjoyed sharing this together, comparing what they all did and completing some fabulous quizzes! We really enjoyed sharing these on Thursday in class.

This week in maths we have been representing adding together three addends using tens frames, part'-whole models and on a number line. This variety of visual representations has really helped to deepen this understanding. Once again, we have been really impressed with their speedy number facts that we can tell they have worked so hard on during their time in the infants. This is now a superpower of ours when it comes to our addition and is helping the children to solve sums with confidence.

During our English, we have continued to look at fables and there hidden teachings. We have focused on the punctuation and how this helps us as readers. We have then been working in pairs to perform a part of a fable using intonation by looking at the punctuation used. We have also spent time looking at nouns and how we can add adjectives before a noun to make our sentences more interesting and descriptive for the reader. Well done Year 3!

It was so lovely to see many of you on Wednesday evening as we discussed the year ahead. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy evenings. We know many of you have lots of things to juggle to make you able to attend and we want you to know how grateful we are. Also thank you to those of you who couldn’t make it but emailed asking for any information to be sent to you, I hope you found the document useful.

Let’s Celebrate:

Jacob for being a curious Clara clownfish: We have been really impressed with your wonderful curiosity this week! During our Prayer and Liturgy in the chapel you asked such deep questions, showing just how carefully you focused on the readings. Keep going Jacob, your confidence is growing and you are working hard. We are very impressed!

Finley for being a focused Cooper crab: You have worked so hard this week and have shown such wonderful determination during each and every lesson. We could not ask anymore of you! Not only this but you have made a fabulous learning partner. You help those around you in such a calm and gentle way. I know your peers really like this quality in you too, and they really enjoy having you as a partner.

Reminders:

We hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Year 3 Blog 16.9.22 "Good leaders must first become good servants.” – Robert Greenleaf

What a successful week we have had! It has absolutely flown by which only shows how we have got our heads down, and immersed ourselves in our learning. This week we have been exploring fables and the teachings within these stories. We had great fun on Wednesday as we closed our eyes and listened only to a video. We found that hat we expect might happen, not always happens and that there is a special teaching hidden in every fable.

In maths this week we have been focusing on adding three addends together and finding the answer. We have been working with adding numbers to 10 and we are now able to represent these equations on ten frames, part/whole models and bar models. The children have really gained confidence in sharing their reasoning/ how they got to their answer. They clearly have a solid knowledge on doubles and number bonds!

During RE this week we have been reminding ourselves of the creation story. Next week we are going to use our creative skills to re-tell this bible story. Miss Russell is ready with the green screen and we have a feeling that we have some budding performers!

Each Wednesday we take some time out of our day and pay a visit to our school chapel. This week we thought about our gifts and how we can use them to help others. The children listened beautifully to the Gospel reading, showing great reverence!

Certificates:

This week we have two FOCUSED COOPER CRABS!

Matilda: What can we say Matilda?! You not only show great care and focus towards your learning, but also to your friends in class too. You are an absolute delight and have been trying so hard in your learning each and every day. You are polite, kind, helpful and what we call a, “ray of sunshine!” We just know that you are going to achieve great things this year Matilda! Well done!

Rose: You are an absolute joy Rose and a wonderful role model to those around you! Your quiet confidence and determination has really impressed us! We could not ask more of you! Each and every day you are ready to push yourself and to learn a new skill. We are so very proud of you and how you have settled into a new school year. We cannot wait to watch you grow!

Reminders for next week:

Art T-Shirt: Please remember to bring in an Art shirt if you haven’t already. Miss Neves has informed us that the children will definitely need one this week.

Induction evening: This Wednesday at 6pm is our class induction. We hope to see many of you as we look together at the year ahead and the learning journey your children will go on during their time in Year 3.

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and we look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.

Year 3 9.9.22 - "The start of something new brings the hope of something great. Anything is possible!"

We have had the most delightful start to the new school year. Seeing everyone’s smiling faces as they arrived on Monday was just wonderful!

What enthusiastic and caring children we have. Each day we have been wowed by their desire to help one another. Writing this now I am remembering kind action after kind action. It has been a truly lovely week!

We have been getting to know our new class environment, our daily routines and have created our new class rules. We have also spent time thinking about how unique and special we each are. We are all different and each one of our children has special gifts that they have been given! Our aim this year is to celebrate and respect the things that make us who we are! Each child is an important piece to our jigsaw.

Let’s celebrate!

This week we have two ENTHUSIASTIC learners!

Dance club!

It is with great joy that we have the return of our Dance club this year! The club will take place every Monday at 3:30 - 4:30 for our Year 5 and 6 children. We will be learning a new dance which we will then perform during a dance festival at the Winter Gardens in November.

If you would like your child to attend please fill out the form below.

We would like the children to prepare a short dance either themselves or in pairs (small groups) that they will perform/ audition with during the first week of the dance club, Monday 12th September.

We can’t wait to watch them!

What to say? It has been an absolute pleasure taking your children on their journey through Year 3! It’s never easy saying goodbye , and today has proven just that. We have loved teaching your children, watching them grow, watching them succeed and watching them grow together as a family. We will miss seeing your smiley faces each morning. We will miss those early starters who each Monday have reminded me about new table places. We will miss the sea of willing faces when we are in need of a job done. We will miss those huge smiles once they have that magic lightbulb moment. I could go on! We know the children are ready for their exciting next chapter in Year 4 and we cannot wait to have many catch ups during our break times together.

The biggest thank you to you parents! You have been so supportive, open and trusting… we never take this for granted! We hope you all have a wonderful summer! Enjoy the adventures, the holidays, and hopefully some rest thrown in there too.

See you in September,

Love the Year 3 team xxx

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious….. could some up our week nicely!

We started the week in the best way possible… watching our Year 6 perform their play, Mary Poppins. It felt like the biggest treat and we were all hooked from start to finish! Not only was it great to watch but it also inspired us when back in the classroom. In English this week, we have been learning more about the poem, The Spider and the Fly. The children have worked in small groups to create pieces of drama based around a part of the poem. We have been so impressed by how well they have worked together, cooperating with each other with compassion and valuing one another’s contributions.

This week in RE we have been learning all about Saint Paul, who, we discovered was originally called Saul. We put our new found drama skills to the test once again and the children created the most wonderful versions of his specials journey to Damascus. We were SO impressed with how the children managed to weave Christian sacraments, traditions and rituals into their pieces of drama.. which showcased their wonderful depth of understanding about our faith. Well done Year 3 you completely WOWED us!

We have also continued to develop our net and ball skills in PE this week. We have continued to improve our own games ready to teach to other groups next week. Each group has created a unique game.. we have a very creative bunch! I think these new games will very much be enjoyed by the rest of the class during our final PE lesson next week!

On Wednesday we had a very special visitor… Mrs Lyons! It was so wonderful for the children to get to know their new teacher… asking her some very difficult and important questions! We now know Mrs Lyons’ favourite food (a particular calamari), her house team (Bamber) and her favourite colour (purple) to name but a few! I know Mrs Lyons loved getting to know everyone and is very much looking forward to teaching them next year!

Certificates

For the final time this year the children have chosen the certificates, once again impressing us with their ability to recognise in once another what makes them such wonderful learners. This time we ended up with a four-way tie. A huge well done to these four children. To be recoginsed by so many of your peers shows how hard you have worked this year! Thank you for making wonderful learning partners and for always trying your upmost! We know that making a mistake helps us to learn more, managing distractions is crucial, and helping and learning from others can be so powerful… each once of you demonstrate this each and every day!

Elsie… “for being focused and helping others to grow!” “for being kind and generous to others!” “you are a great learning partner and easy to work with.” “you have worked hard and your handwriting is really neat.”

Esther… “thank you for helping me!” “you are very, very kind!” “you make everyone happy and help people in our class.” “for always working well in a team.” “thank you for helping me!” “you are very, very kind!”

Rafe… “for being so co-operative and a great learning partner!” “you are always so focused!” “for sharing your ideas during our class discussions.” “for helping other people focus.”

Isaac… “for being a great partner to sit next to!” “you are always so focused!” “for trying your hardest in all of our lessons.” “for always being engaged in your learning.”

We now head into our final week together. We have absolutely loved being a part of your children’s journey. Watching them grow in confidence, developing crucial social skills and of course seeing them crack tricky new concepts has been such a joy! We cannot wait to enjoy our last few days in year 3, with a fresh box of tissues close at hand!

Below are some of the important notices to be award of:

  1. Miss Hornby’s mass - Monday at 6:30pm in church, then at the parish centre afterwards. You are all so welcome to celebrate our amazing headteacher.

  2. On Wednesday, HARCOURT can come in house colours as they won the housepoint competition this half term.

  3. Children will be bringing school books home on Monday now. Please ensure they have a plastic bag.

  4. Please have a good search in bedrooms etc for any school reading books so we can return them to our library ready for next year.

  5. We break up on Wednesday at 2:00pm

Year 3 blog 8.7.22 - "Share your smile with the world. It's a symbol of friendship and hope." - Christie Brinkley

Although the weeks seem to by whizzing by, our learning certainly isn’t showing signs of stopping. This week we have been introduced to a new poem, “The Spider and the Fly”. Firstly, we listened to the introduction of the poem, which posed lots of questions and filled our minds with ideas about the poem, the characters and what might happen next. After this, we then watched the first part of the poem and compared our thoughts now that we could see the characters and the setting. Today, the children have been great detectives as they have investigated the crime that was/ has been claimed to have been committed by the spider.

We have also had the absolute joy of spending Monday morning with Mrs Curtis and a wonderful art lesson! All of the children loved spending time creating their clay creations. It is just wonderful to see the children explore new materials and use their imaginations to be creative. Well done everybody!

In PE this week we have continued to practise our bat and ball skills. The children are gaining great confident when batting a ball to a partner… we have had some great rally’s, along with lots of encouraging words to one another… so much so that the whole class were awarded the PE stars this week.

On Friday the children also found out the wonderful news that Mrs Lyons will be their teacher next year! The children will absolutely flourish under Mrs Lyons wonderful lead and we cannot wait to welcome her into one of our lessons next week! I know that she is also very excited for the year ahead!

Let’s Celebrate…

Esther… We continue to be so impressed by your wonderful effort each and every day! Each lesson you make sure that you give it your all, and we are always full of joy as we watch you tackle new challenges. You have also made such a kind and caring learning partner. Hearing you celebrate others fills us with such happiness! Never let go of these fabulous qualities Esther, we know you won’t!

Liam… For being such a wonderful learner! Reading your writing of, the Iron breaded dragon blew us away! You have soaked in all of our grammar and vocabulary skills throughout the year and have created a brilliant piece of writing! We are so proud of you! It is an absolute pleasure teaching you Liam, We just know that we are going to be reading more of your wonderful writing as you travel through the school. Keep up the amazing work!

This week we have introduced “The Spider and the fly,” the poem that we will be focused on during our final weeks. We have been thinking about the different spider characters that we are familiar with from previous stories, poems, films and songs. We found that spiders are not always fearful characters!

In your homework book can you write a top trumps card to share facts about a particular spider. This could be a particular species or a spider from a story, song or poem. When writing your card, don’t forget to showcase your wonderful writing skills. What different punctuation can you include? Can you use exciting vocabulary? What about different sentence structures?

It was just wonderful to welcome you all to celebrate our sports day once again! The children were so excited to show you how hard they have been working in PE. We were all so proud of them and how they supported and encouraged each other! A huge well done Year 3 and a big thank you parents for being a brilliant audience to spur us on! Having you there to watch the children this year was so special and created such a wonderful and exciting atmosphere. The children were beaming as they came back into class… I heard so many of the children saying, “that was my favourite sport’s day!” so a huge thank you for coming to celebrate this special school event with us!

We are such book lovers in Year 3 and on Monday we were super excited to finish our class novel, ‘The Iron Man’. We have then started to plan our own stories based on this book. We cannot wait to read your stories next week and to see all of those wonderful grammar skills that we have worked on throughout the year… I know Mrs Harrison will want to take a peak too.

Certificates

Co-operative and Determined Ella … You are such a delightful girl Ella! We loved seeing your determination during our sports day this week! You tried so hard and really spurred on those around you!

Because of this, things that you once found a challenge, you can do no problem. A huge well done Ella!

Co-operative, Focused and Enthusiastic Rafe … You are such an enthusiastic and focused learner, who we have thoroughly enjoyed teaching this year!

  • We arrive super early!!! The gates will open at 8 O'clock.

  • The children are then invited to run with their friends or their parent (pyjamas not essential). It is important that you count the laps.

This is a sponsored event. There has been much debate at school council level about what the children want in their playground and they want a castle!!!!

A place where imaginations can run wild! Needless to say, we need money for the build - we know as a community we can do this!

Use the sponsor form sent home this weekend to ask family and friends to sponsor you for each lap or to donate on the promise that you will jog your heart out!!!

We will jog right up until school starts when we will say goodbye to parents and jog into class - ready for breakfast!

We can't wait to share another event with the whole school family together!

Quiz The Iron Man

The Queen’s Coronation:

From our learning this week I would like you to do a little more research about the carriage that took the Queen to Westminster Abbey during her Coronation.
