Year 3 - Summer 2 - Week 6
Date: 14th Jul 2023 @ 3:43pm
The final full week of Year 3 is now complete; we cannot believe how quickly the year has flown by. We are so thrilled with how much the children have flourished and we hope you enjoyed reading your child’s report last week which reflected this!
Here are some highlights from this week:
To start the week, the children enjoyed a visit from Rob from Formby Library who informed the children about this year's Summer Reading Challenge. The children were all very excited when they returned to class with many of them sharing how they hoped to complete the challenge. There are two ways you can take part in the Summer Reading Challenge:
- You can join at Formby Library and take part in person. The librarian will give you a collector folder, stickers, and other special rewards, and help you find books to read.
- Or, take part online by signing up here. Set a reading goal and log your books on your profile. When you reach your goal, you will unlock a virtual badge and certificate.
Please note, the in-person and online challenges are separate. Medals and certificates are only available via the library, for those taking part in the in-person challenge. We hope the children enjoy completing the reading challenge and this will be celebrated when we return to school in September.
On Wednesday, the class enjoyed their trip to the British Music Experience in Liverpool. We started our day by taking a trip through music history starting with Vera Lynn during WW2 right through to Sam Ryder at Eurovision 2022. After lunch, we had the opportunity to tour the museum and visit the interactive music studio – which was greatly enjoyed by all!
In maths, the children created a range of 3D shapes using cotton buds and playdough. This was quite a challenge but the children showed great perseverance to build their models. They also constructed their own bar charts using interlocking cubes based on some in-class surveys.
In art, the children painted in the style of L.S. Lowry and created their own image of Trinity St Peter’s School, focussing on creating depth perception by changing size of buildings and people and by changing the depth of the colours they used. The children were delighted with their finished pieces of artwork.
A week of so many other highlights included the children having a glimpse into their futures as they had the chance to watch the Year 6 leaver’s performance which had everyone in fits of laughter. Well done Year 6!
In preparation for the next academic year, please see the Year 4 Successful Start PowerPoint attached at the end of this blog.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
