Not to be different to any other week, Year 3 had a busy week with the highlight being the end of our Design and Technology Unit on Making a Wallet/Purse!

It has been amazing to see how this Design and Technology unit has inspired so many of Year 3, with them sewing eagerly at home.

The children embraced using needles, threading them and sewing using the running stitch and backward stitch.  They also embraced how to attach a button to their designs!   The children really enjoyed spending time this week sewing, all of them were absorbed and engrossed and worked really hard.  Well done everyone!

   

 

Today, we also said“goodbye” to Mrs Vieyra, who has been part of our school community for many years. She has assisted your children this year in class and running our reading intervention programmes.  We will miss her.

Thank you parents for the support you have given your children over this last year.  They have worked so hard and grown so much during their time in Year 3 and we have enjoyed being part of their learning journey.

Thank you also for the generous gifts you have given to Mrs Lines, Mrs Vieyra and myself.  We really appreciate all the kindness you have shown us this year.

Lastly, THANK YOU to our lovely class making us proud every single day.  The funny, sweet, inspirational moments that we share every day with your children make it the best job in the world.

Wishing you all a lovely summer!

Mrs McNamara, Mrs Lines and Mrs Vieyra.

 

Another busy week in Year 3 this week!

It was our whole school photograph this morning so the school was buzzing with excitement. Also, thank you so much for your chocolate donations today.  If you have forgotten, please bring in your donation early next week.

In Science the children have explored how water is transported to the different parts of the plant. They first worked in groups and created a human model of how water is taken to the flowers and leaves. Next, they did an experiment to find out how they can ‘see’  that water is sucked up through the stem and then the stem passes water on to the leaves and flowers.

 

 

Unfortunately, only two children remembered to bring into school their sunflower that they have been growing at home.  Please can your child bring to school ON MONDAY their sunflower as we would like to measure how tall they have grown.  Thank you! They will be sent back home with your child.

In Maths, we have continued to look back at division and multiplication, practising the inverse to check our answers. English this week has continued to build final pieces for a Gregory Cool sequel.  In RE the children have been looking at what it means to be a follower of Jesus; in RSE they have looked at considering financial stewardship through budgeting activities and discussions about the pros and cons of different payment methods, and learning about financial risks. In PE the children have continued with their lessons in tennis, learning how to improve their serve.

On Wednesday we were treated to a guitar concert. Well done to Hugo for representing Year 3!

 

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Mrs McNamara and Mrs Lines.

What an exciting week Year one have had! The children have been learning to tell the time in Maths. They have been learning to tell the time to the hour and half past the hour using the minute and hour hands on the clock. They made their own clocks and have talked about their daily routines and times that they get up, have lunch, dinner etc… Please talk to your child about the days and times they have certain activities and talk about the times they take place!

In Italian, the children have been learning to name foods and how to order from an Italian  restaurant! Year one played an interactive game and had fun matching food types.

In Science, the children have continued with our topic on Plants. They decorated their own pots and are growing their own broad bean! We will be writing a class diary and children will note the changes they see happening and the stages of growth that their bean will go through.

On Thursday, we went to the Seaside. The children had a lovely day and I was very proud of how they behaved. We played in the sea, collected water samples to test, played in the sand, fished with nets, collected shells, had lunch on the beach and ended the day with an ice cream! At the end of the trip, there were lots of sleepy children on the coach! Thank you to our parent helpers for your support.
