Quite possibly the busiest week ever in Year 3

Goodness me I don't know where to start!

Year Three have had such a busy week!!

On Monday we started with our Football Skills workshop with the team from Jamie Knight, Sports Day Tuesday, Thursday we had skateboarding and Friday was dance day! Phew! The children were amazing throughout!

Amongst all of that we wrote our stories based on Flotsam, completed our learning about The Tolpuddle Martyrs and started our sewing projects. We are desperate for volunteers to help children so we can get them all done before the end of term, if you fancy some time sewing with a small group, please let me know!

Looking ahead to this week, it's our final full week in Year 3. Tuesday is 'bump up' afternoon so the chilled will be spending the afternoon in Year 4 with Miss White.

Wednesday is forest school, please ensure children have a hat, suncream and a water bottle.

On Thursday we will be sending home the children's work from Year 3, please make sure your child has a bag for life with them this week as we begin to fill it.

Thursday afternoon is also our last fiver challenge sale, please let me know if your group needs additional funds from their profits to fund the sale this week and I can arrange that.

As we are on a trip on Monday, we will be having a games session on Friday morning, children can bring a non electronic toy or game with them but please no Pokemon cards as these cause issues with confusion around ownership.

On Friday from 2:00-3:30 we have our much anticipated Herd of Elephants Exhibition. This is your opportunity to adopt your child's elephant. You are warmly welcomed to attend the exhibition with your child and leave a little bit early afterwards. If you are unable to attend but would still like to adopt the elephant via a donation to Weldmar Hospice please do let me know before and we can arrange this so children can bring their elephant home with them.

The Exhibition is our main fundraising event for Weldmar and suggested adoption donations are £3, £5 or £10 all of which will go directly to Weldmar to help support their vital work.



As ever please do get in touch if you need anything.

Dance Day and hot weather

Hi Year 3 Families,

What a fantastic Fiver Challenge event we had today, I was blown away by the number of amazing hand crafted gems! The children have been so busy! I can't wait for the final one next week!


Tomorrow is dance day, I would like to children to have the option of wearing their PE kit for our workshop as it is going to be so hot tomorrow. Most children travelled home from school in their PE kit on Tuesday so please could they bring it back in tomorrow to enable them to stay cool.


It is going to be very hot tomorrow, we are trying to keep the classroom as cool as we can and are encouraging children to drink regularly
. Please ensure children have a drinks bottle and a hat tomorrow.

I will do a proper update about the wonderful we have had in the next few days.

Fantastic trains and the Fiver Challenge

 Hi Year Three Families,

Goodness me! What a week we have had!

It started brilliantly with our visit from Steel and ended brilliantly with our day with Nick from Stemco.

Around that we have had a brilliant alternative sports workshop and we've been preparing for Sports Day.

Sports day is Tuesday Morning 9:30-10:30 it would be lovely to have as many supporters as possible as the children have been working very hard in preparation.

Please make sure that your child has a PE kit and suitable shoes with them on Tuesday, we do not have any spare Pe Kits or shoes.

The week ahead promises to be an extremely busy and exciting one for Year 3, we have football, skateboard and dance workshops, all of these the children must have a PE kit!

We also have the first Fiver Challenge Sale on Thursday 10th July 3:30-4:00


It's going to be a jam packed few weeks, please make sure that children have a sun hat and water bottle every day...


Reading Records we had an AMAZING 28 returned on Friday, we would love to have a whole set before the end of term, we have two more weeks to meet our collective goal, please keep sending them in, we are so close!



We have started our sewing project, if you enjoy sewing and would like to help Yr3 make small pillows over the next few weeks, please get in touch to arrange a session. j.evans@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk

As ever please do keep in touch if you need anything, the next few weeks are going to be great!
