Waste Wizard Competition - reminder

Dear Parents,
- another reminder:
We are hoping that the children are able to have a go at entering the D.C.C. "Waste Wizard Competition".
The children have to make a “Wizard” out of any items that can be recycled (excluding glass) to try to win a fabulous “Eco Pack Prize”.
The children should bring their recycled Wizards to school by no later than Friday 6^th February.
Thank you,
Duncan MacBean

Times Tables - Year Three

Dear Parents,
We are having a push on learning our "Times Tables".
I have told the children that I will be giving them a "test" next Friday (30th Jan).
Because we have lots of children at different levels of expertise with multiplication, I have asked the children to choose between whether they take the "2s and 10s Times Tables Test" or, alternatively, the "3s and 5s Times Tables Test".
We are intending to encourage the children to learn different "Times Tables" each week for a "test" in this way  - for a number of weeks.
Many Thanks,
Duncan MacBean

Theseus and the Minotaur

The children in Year 3 have been enjoying using the story of Theseus and the Minotaur to explore adjectives, adverbs and other powerful vocabulary.
There is lots of excellent creative writing taking place. Well done Year 3!
