Year 3 - Uniform, Yes or No?

Next week, the children in Year 3 will be having a debate about whether they think that school uniform is a good idea or not. We will be considering reasons for and against having uniforms and arranging our ideas into appropriate paragraphs.
It would be great if you could start this discussion at home.                                     DM

Year 3 Counting in French

The children in Year 3 have been learning to count in French.
Perhaps they could have some time practising this at home.

"What's the Point?"

In order to inspire our young learners and to enable them to understand how their literacy skills are so important, we are launching a "What's the point" project! It's simple - please could you send a photograph of yourself or a family member using literacy skills in the work place (writing as well as reading). Your child's class teacher will aim to show a different one before literacy lessons to spark discussion and to contextualise writing as well as inspiring them to foster a love for writing. We would also like to display these picture as well as use them on blogs and on the school Facebook page, so please make the teacher aware if you do not wish this to happen with your photograph.

Thank you in advance for your support in this fun project - the children will really enjoy seeing your pictures!!!!!

Year 3 - Writing about Bicycles

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

The children will 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.

Do make sure you have a look at our written work.

Soil and Rocks

Find a cupful of soil. Have a close look at it. (Perhaps you could use a magnifying glass?)                                    - WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER HANDLING SOIL.

What do you think soil is made from? Can you find out?

Why do you think different soils can be different colours; some are redder, some are browner, etc?

Can you find the name of SIX different types of rock?   (eg, Chalk)

Year 3 Adventure Morning

Some of the children in Year 3 went for a trip today in the minibus.
They visited some interesting places and had fun doing some outdoor learning.

We are working hard. 

Here we are looking at the differences in an old photo from 1940 and what is there today.

But was the best part of the trip playing in the playground?......

 .....,or eating an ice-lolly on the minibus?
