What a wonderful start to Year 3! It has been an absolute pleasure to welcome the children back to school after what appears to be, a fun filled summer holiday!
We have had a busy week filled with excitement and intrigue! We have been tasked by Russel and Carl, from UP, to help them by completing a series of tasks. Our first task focused round the words ‘kindness and support’ linking to our school value, Nurture. We recalled times where we had been kind and supportive and how this, lifts people up, reflecting on times where we may have been unhelpful, which could weigh us down, throwing the later away and letting go.
We then focused on setting ourselves targets and challenges for the year, we talked about how in order to achieve them, we must work hard to adapt and develop our ‘I can do it’ attitude and resilience. I wonder what challenges lie ahead for us next week!
From Monday 6th, children will be sent home with a reading book according to their reading day.
A gentle reminder that children need to come into school dressed in their outdoor PE kit every Wednesday and Friday.
Children have now been set up on their new interactive platform, ‘Google Classroom’ and logins have now been sent home. Please ensure that your child is confident logging on and navigating the site. We will use this platform regularly in class to support their learning. Please note that work set on Google Classroom is to be complete in class and not to be completed at home.
Weekly spellings will be shared on Google Classroom, every Friday. This allows children time to practice their spellings at home, and in school, in preparation for our spelling quiz which will take place the following Thursday. This will start next week.
Well done for all your hard work this week Year 3, have a lovely weekend and I will see you all on bright and early on Monday! Don’t forget to check us out on Twitter.

The Spring term has flown by! Well done to all the children for their consistent hard work and determination over the past few months. They have embraced new learning opportunities with enthusiasm and resilience.
This week, in Maths, we continued our topic of measurement by adding and subtracting different lengths in millimetres, centimetres and meters. We also learnt how to calculate the perimeter of shapes.
In RE, we retold the Easter story and created a flow map to sequence the events. We also learnt about the different symbols of Easter and what they represent. We then enjoyed some tasty hot cross buns!
In Collective Worship, we went on a virtual Easter journey led by the B-Tales. We thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the interactive activities and creating our own crosses to carry with us.
In Science, we concluded our topic, ‘Opposites Attract’ by completing an investigation to test the magnetic properties of different objects. We tested a variety of objects and concluded that magnetic materials are always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic.
To conclude our Easter festivities, we created our own Easter baskets and went on a special Easter egg hunt! We showed some excellent team work as we worked together to solve the addition and subtraction word problems to win the chocolate eggs!
Spellings for the first week back are on Google Classroom.
Have a wonderful Easter break and we look forward to welcoming you all back in the Summer term!
