Harvest celebrations 7th October

Thank you to everyone who took part in The Prince of Wales Harvest celebrations yesterday. The children did a great job in presenting their songs, poems and art work to parents. Also the children have been busily cooking this week using our produce from the orchard, the goodies were sold in the café during the afternoon and they all went down a storm!

The harvest art work will be up next week so do please pop by the school hall to look at your child’s work if you were unable to come along.

The local food bank received two boxes of food from the school and it is looking like a good amount of money has been raised for the Kingfisher ward, who has asked the school to purchase some electrical equipment for children’s bedrooms. We will keep you updated.

Y3 - Home learning Friday 7th October

 

The children in Year 3 are finding out about things that people have for breakfast. They are considering where things are grown and what happens to them before they arrive on the breakfast table, for example shipping, processing, slaughtering, refining, packaging, drying, bottling, transporting – depending on the food/drink.

The children need to do another example of a breakfast food as an annotated diagram like the one that we did at school. (-Bacon)

 

I have also asked the children to have a go at completing a "Breakfast Questionnaire" that we put together in class.

 

Thank you for your help,

Y3 Finding out about Indian Harvest

The Indian Harvest
The children in Year 3 have enjoyed finding out about the Indian Harvest.
Yesterday, Imo and Kieran came to the school to tell us about their experience of Harvest where they live in the south of India. The children also did some colourful artwork with them relating to this.

We also had another very special visitor with Year 3 this afternoon; Mr. Farrington came in to talk to the children about his travels around the Paddy Fields of southern India.
The Y3 children were very pleased to see him.

Year Three - Written work on display

As promised, we have put some of children's written work about their "Class Adventure to Upwey, Portesham and Abbotsbury" on display outside the school hall.
All of the children in the class have done a report in their Written Work book, but I have selected some children's work to be photocopied and put on the display board.
Please do come to take a look at this work to find out more about our class trip - and to see the hard-work the children are putting into their writing.
