Home Learning over Half Term Hols

I have given the children a couple of Maths investigations to have a go at over the holiday.
I have also suggested to them that they might like to find out some facts about the Titanic. We will be finding out about the Titantic after the holiday.
Have a great holiday!

Year 3 RE

Today we spent our RE lesson thinking about the things that are most important to us. I would like to encourage the children now to write a Thanksgiving Prayer to say thank you for all those things that they really value about everything else.

Home Learning Year 3

Write a story to accompany these 6 pictures.

-time connectives (then, suddenly, soon afterwards)

Money

In Maths this week we will be doing mathematical activities that involve the use of money.
It would be very useful if this could be discussed at home.
Could you play some maths games with a handful of change at home?
For example:
I have 3 coins in my hand...they add up to 12p, what could they be? (is there more than one possible answer? etc)
I have 4 coins that add up to 12p- What must they be?
Thank you

POWSA Blog - Non ICT Day

I have this little sister Lola, she is small and very funny.  Next Wednesday (the 24^th of October) will be a non-ICT day.  That means all the children, including Lola and all the teachers cannot use computers or other technology in school! There will be no blogging, no typing, no googling, no surfing. There will certainly be no interactive white boarding, no tweeting, no ipadding, no videoing and certainly no tomatoes! Lola is looking forward to catching out her teachers, if they use some ICT, they have to pay a 50p fine!  Hopefully all the children will help Lola and raise funds for the school. Thank you - Charlie (and the POWSA Committee) - PS donations to POWSA for school equipment will be welcomed (as always!!)

POWSA Blog - Book Fair!

Just a quick reminder that the scholastic book fair starts today.  The books are available to browse by both children and parents after school Wed-Mon and at the parents evening tonight. Why not stock up on a few Christmas presents, or introduce your kids to another fantastic author? Once our target has been reached, the school receive 60% of the profit back to spend on books for school.  This has proven a very profitable venture in the past and we hope to replicate the success again this year!
