The children’s daily prayers this week have focused on God’s amazing love, it’s hard for us to fully understand. On Monday, the children were asked to celebrate the different aspects of God’s love and show love to others through their words and actions throughout the week.
Our Learning this week..
In English, we have continued our focus on the Iron Man. The children used their learning from last week, around the descriptive language of the cliffs and sea, when writing their own setting descriptions. They have also been preparing for writing their own narrative about an approaching threat (as we currently see the Iron Man as this, having only read Chapter 1 and part of Chapter 2).
Our class novel at the moment is The Sheep Pig, we read this daily. I wonder if the children have mentioned this? We are really enjoying this story time together.
Now we are able to access the Star Reader in school, the children will soon all have an up to date ZPD, which means they will select home reading books that are appropriate for their current reading ability. They will also complete a quiz about the book which they have read, in school, once they have finished the book. Please ensure you keep updating the reading log when the children read at home.
In Maths, we have continued our number line work and comparing numbers up to 1000. Using greater than and less than, and solving problems about this. Next week, we are moving onto addition and subtraction.
In Science, we have looked into the importance of exercise to keep our bodies fit and healthy. Now the children have a clearer understanding of what we need to do to keep our bodies and mind in the best shape it can be. Eating a balanced diet with a variety of nutrients and doing regular exercise. For children in our class, we would hope they are exercising for atleast 60 minutes per day.
The children had their photos taken on Monday so they should be with you soon!

Important Notices:
Please ensure the children bring their reading logs and books, water bottles and a coat every day.
Please see the homework on the Year 3 - homework section of the website.
PE Days are Tuesday and Thursday, no earrings on this day please. We do not want children to be taking them out in class.
Please ensure children can tie their own shoe laces, if they are wearing shoe laces to school.
Please make sure you contact the office if there is somebody else picking up your child at the end of the day, this includes other parents/carers at our school and family members/friends who do not regularly pick them up and are not known to us. There are an awful lot of children telling me that they are being picked up by other people and this has not been communicated to us by their known adult. This is a safeguarding issue and I cannot let children go, unless I have been informed officially.
I now have access to the Year 3 email account, please be aware that these are only checked once, weekly. This is not my preferred method of contact with you, I would prefer you to catch Mrs Dunford at the beginning of the day, myself at the end of the school day or a phone call to the office. Any emails received before now will be treated as non-urgent, as I would expect any queries should now have been resolved. Any emails received from now will be read, when I can, but they may not receive an email as a response. If I think it requires a response, you may get a phone call or I may catch you at the end of the day.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Holden and Mrs Dunford
