Home learning Y3 - Friday 21st October

Home learning Y3             Friday 21^st October

Response to a “story introduction”.

The children have been asked to write the next part of the story, following on from this introduction:

 

I was feeling very odd when I woke up this morning. I was strangely hot and felt as if I wanted to scratch myself. When my alarm clock went off it actually scared me, and I leapt out of bed. I landed lightly on my feet.

When I looked into my bedroom mirror I couldn’t believe what I saw.

Could this be possible?
I had turned into a chimpanzee!!!

Bling Your Bike - Friday 21st October

“Bling Your Bike Morning”

Yes that is “Bling”, although we would like you to “Bring” your bikes too!

This Friday 21st October we will be holding another “Bling Your Bike” event. This is to promote “Being Safe by Being Seen” when out on your bikes and scooters. We are having a competition to see who can make their bike or scooter extra colourful and bright ,- so that it really stands out!

The children may score extra marks for having bright, colourful clothing that they can put on when parading their “blinged”-bike.

Children who would like to take part in the competition should bring their bikes to school on the morning of Friday 21^st October. Winners will be decided during the day and we have some nice prizes, kindly donated by Sustrans

It is important that any materials added to your bike or scooter should not be in the way of moving parts.

-         Kitty and Katherine for their fantastic “Moses and the Plagues” pictures.

-         Rohanna for her thoughtful and very well-presented “home learning” about Salmon Farming.

Year 3 Bicycle Writing

This week in our English Lessons we have be using the theme of “Bicycles” to develop our writing.

The children had to collect facts about bicycles and group these facts into sections or paragraphs. A non-chronological report set out like this is more useful to the reader and easier to read.

The children in Year 3 have done some really good written work.

Do make sure you have a look in their books.

Whole school Monday 10th October 2016

Yippee! The Book Fair arrives this week - perfect timing for some christmas shopping!!!!!!The children will all be visiting the book fair with their class, and I am sure they will come home full of excitement about books they have seen, so do pop along and buy a book or two!!!

We really appreciate the support you show us each year at the book fair, not only encouraging your child's love of reading but, every time you buy a book, we earn commission in vouchers to buy new books for the school library and the guided reading library. Great isn't it?

We rely heavily on this source to maintain a high quality, up to date library full of the latest reads and best sellers! This ensures that ALL children in the school have access to a well stocked library to explore and foster a love for books!


Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!

Mrs. Johnson
