Welcome back from your Easter holidays! It has been so nice to see and hear all about the children’s news. We hope you had a wonderful break with your families.  

A great week in year 3, children continue to work hard and try their best!

What a fabulous week year 3!

The highlight celebrating world book day with you all, seeing your wonderful costumes and a trip to Woodpeckers Nursing Home to listen to some great story telling! You all listened beautifully and showed thanks by creating your own thank you messages.  

Some super learning, resilience and perseverance this week, well done Year 3. 

English This week continue to focus on ‘The Mousehole Cat’, the children wrote some great descriptions about the raging storm, retold the story verbally and composed their own acrostic poem’s about the song Mowzer the cat would sing to calm the Great Storm Cat down. The children had some great ideas.

Maths We have been comparing, adding and subtracting fractions. The children used their knowledge of fractions to solve problems. We move onto addition and subtraction of three digit numbers next week. 

Guided Reading This week we continued to focus on ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’, inferencing, selecting and retrieving information to answer questions. In readiness for our learning next week, the children may like to listen to or read chapter 7.

Science Next Week- Miss Lever will be conducting a ‘chocolate experiment’ next Monday (6.2.23). Please if your child has any allergies we are not already aware of, let us know.  

Second week of swimming and the children are having a blast! We are so incredibly proud of their hard work, resilience and perseverance.  It is so wonderful to hear the excitement on a Friday lunchtime when getting ready. Please ensure they have their swimming kit with them on a Friday.

Apologies for the late return back to school and any inconvenience this has caused. To ensure the children get the full hour in the pool, the children will return later than planned, also due to traffic at that time of day. Swimming is mandatory as part of the National Curriculum. Therefore we aim to be back at school at the very latest at 3.40pm. For those children that attend Chelsea Football Club, afterschool children are encouraged to bring their football kit to change into after swimming.  

Welcome Back and Happy New Year! It is so lovely to see all the children back and hear all their wonderful Christmas stories.
