Blog

Our Wolves' leaflets have finally finished! Some are pretty terrifying. The aim of the leaflet was to warn rabbits about the dangers that wolves pose. Our work was inspired by the wonderful book by Emily Gravett, 'Wolves'.

We have also started our new book, The Promise. Which is a beautifully written and illustrated story about a girls journey from being mean and hard, to being kind and considerate. 

In Maths, we have been adding and subtracting 3 digits. 

World Book Day

Thank you to all the hard you did for World Book Day, the children looked fantastic. We had a great time exploring the school on our treasure hunt. The school had raised a lot of money and would like to say thank you for collecting sponsorship. 

Change to PE 

This term our PE days will be Tuesday for cricket with our Chance to Shine cricket coach, Ryan. This is a great opportunity to build a love for cricket and get involved in your local clubs. Brockenhurst has a wonderful club and if your children enjoy it, sign them up.

Swimming is still on Thursdays as per usual. 

 Book Change 

 Book change will be back on Fridays. As always bring your book in and reading diary every day as we  check them regularly at school.

English: we have been looking at the poetry book 'A Kid In My Class', by Rachel Rooney. It is a wonderful book, that is well illustrated, and I would recommend parents picking up a copy if they get the opportunity. 

In Maths, we have been focusing on 2D shapes, parallel and perpendicular lines. If you would like to  make comparisons at home, this would help reinforce students learning. 

Reminders:

Parent teacher meetings are happening next Tuesday and Thursday. 

Swimming on Thursday.

Year 3 - Swimming Reminders

Maths Olympics

This is a house sports events, where children run around an obstacle course to collect maths questions and return to their team to solve them. Year groups work together in their houses (Years 3+4). The skills that we worked on included perseverance, encouraging others, praising others and helping them. 

Winchester Science Centre Trip

Thank you to all those who have returned their reply slips. I'll let parents who have offered to help know as soon as I can. 

In Lessons

We have completed our 3, 4 and 8 timetables. But keep practising on TT Rock Stars.  We have started learning about unit fractions.  You can ask your children about numerators and denominators, and hopefully they will be able to reply with the correct part of the fraction they are.
