A wet and dreary day didn't dampen our spirits. The Year 3s and 4s had a great day out, discovery about Roman and Iron Age houses and tools. The Year 3s experienced wool weaving, created chalk art, dug for artefacts and created a willow fence.
Photos to come shortly ....
What a great time we had! The insects that we discovered were mind blowing. We started our trip with a bug talk by a member of the Furzey Team and went exploring ourselves. We discovered amazing insets and arachnids hidden in the long grasses. The photo is of an garden orb web spider. We played in the adventure playground and explored the hidden areas that the gardens offered.
The children generated many ideas about what we could do with our school garden and we have an idea of plants that we could add.
Next Thursday, we plan on visiting Furzy Gardens. The aim of the trip is to find out about insects, what Furzy do to attract them and think about what we can implement back at school.
Please bring the letters back as soon as possible.
We aim to back at normal time. If you want to help out, please let us know via the letter and we will be in contact with you.

Homework
Homework has been set on Mathletics and Spelling Shed. When searching for these websites, type in Ed Shed for the spelling shed and Mathletics and click on the first link. Pupils already have these passwords in the back of their diaries, but if they do not, then they need to bring their diaries in to get them stuck in.
This Week
This week we have been learning about place value, along a number line and different ways in which we can partition numbers.
In English, we have started writing out our own Stone Age stories, which include creative ways of travelling in time.
In Science, we carried out an insect, arachnid and molluscs count around the school. We aim to look at ways of improving the living environment of these creates over the year as part of our scientific study.

Two days in and Year 3 are already becoming very settled. We are very blessed to have kind and thoughtful children in this class. We hope to continue and add to this throughout the year.
Important Information
Diaries: We have diaries in Year 3. These are to record reading at home, and to take notes of important events. We ask that you check them weekly and get them signed for Wednesdays. It is best practice that they stay in the children's bags.
Labels: please label clothes, water bottles and anything else that could get lost in the labyrinth of school.
PE: Monday and Wednesday, however it is best to always have PE kits in school as we do have surprise PE lessons and activities.
Library: Every Friday the children will change their books (if they need to).
Bringing things into school: The rule for this is that, if you would be upset if you lost it, then do not bring it in.
Aims of Year 3
We want children to enjoy learning and coming to school, so we will do our best to make lessons fun
We want our Year 3 students to challenge themselves
We want them to show respect to everybody
