Dance Day and hot weather

Hi Year 3 Families,

What a fantastic Fiver Challenge event we had today, I was blown away by the number of amazing hand crafted gems! The children have been so busy! I can't wait for the final one next week!

Tomorrow is dance day, I would like to children to have the option of wearing their PE kit for our workshop as it is going to be so hot tomorrow. Most children travelled home from school in their PE kit on Tuesday so please could they bring it back in tomorrow to enable them to stay cool.

It is going to be very hot tomorrow, we are trying to keep the classroom as cool as we can and are encouraging children to drink regularly
. Please ensure children have a drinks bottle and a hat tomorrow.

I will do a proper update about the wonderful we have had in the next few days.

Fantastic trains and the Fiver Challenge

 Hi Year Three Families,

Goodness me! What a week we have had!

It started brilliantly with our visit from Steel and ended brilliantly with our day with Nick from Stemco.

Around that we have had a brilliant alternative sports workshop and we've been preparing for Sports Day.

Sports day is Tuesday Morning 9:30-10:30 it would be lovely to have as many supporters as possible as the children have been working very hard in preparation.

Please make sure that your child has a PE kit and suitable shoes with them on Tuesday, we do not have any spare Pe Kits or shoes.

The week ahead promises to be an extremely busy and exciting one for Year 3, we have football, skateboard and dance workshops, all of these the children must have a PE kit!

We also have the first Fiver Challenge Sale on Thursday 10th July 3:30-4:00

It's going to be a jam packed few weeks, please make sure that children have a sun hat and water bottle every day...

Reading Records we had an AMAZING 28 returned on Friday, we would love to have a whole set before the end of term, we have two more weeks to meet our collective goal, please keep sending them in, we are so close!

We have started our sewing project, if you enjoy sewing and would like to help Yr3 make small pillows over the next few weeks, please get in touch to arrange a session. j.evans@princeofwales.dorset.sch.uk

As ever please do keep in touch if you need anything, the next few weeks are going to be great!

RSE: My Changing Body

Hi there,

Today Year 3 had their RSE My Changing Body, please refer to Parent Information Session delivered on the 5th June for details.

Children were encouraged to talk about their discussions with adults at home if they would like to and we will have a questions box in the classroom should they have further questions they would like to discuss with me. The children engaged in interesting discussion and handled the subject matter maturely.

If you would like to discuss anything please do get in touch.

Gladiators Ready! The Day Year 3 met Steel!

Hi Year 3 Families, 

We have had the most fantastic morning meeting Steel, the children enjoyed a brilliant assembly, Zac spoke to us about what it takes to be a Gladiator and how we can keep ourselves healthy and achieve our dreams.

Steel popped into class too, to sign our foam hands and answer some questions. Year 3 have been brilliant all morning, fantastic listening and thoughtful questions! Mrs Scott even busted out her chicken impression!

Fantastic week in Year 3

 Hi Year 3 Families,

What a whizzy week it has been, we had a fantastic time doing the bikeathon today, (see pictures)

We have started a new learning focus in Maths learning about right angles, measurement and the properties of shapes...  Our in English focus on Flotsam, is continuing we are getting closer to writing our own stories, which the children are really looking forward to.

In Art we have been finishing our landscape collages, by adding ink to create shade and tone. Next week we will be starting a new textiles focus.

In science we have been testing the different properties of rocks for durability, hardness and permeability. 

Next week is the beginning of Inclusive Sports Fortnight, there will be a lot of sports opportunities over the next two weeks, please ensure your child has their sports kits in school so they can fully participate.

On Thursday children received their Fiver Challenge letters, please make sure you have received these, we are looking forward to seeing what the children come up with, the first sale is on the 10th July.

Unit 3.8: Graphing

 

Year Three truly rose to the challenge as we brought together everything we’ve been learning in our Purple Mash Graphing unit. The children tackled ‘Using ‘2Graph’ in an Investigation – and what an impressive mission it was!

Mr Spracklen was blown away by the focus, teamwork and enthusiasm in Year Three. They were a class on a mission — a mission to investigate, gather data, and present their findings using clear, colourful digital graphs!

The pupils began by choosing their own investigation question — from favourite food to favourite dinosaurs! They thought carefully about how to collect their data, using tally charts, surveys and observations, before diving into 2Graph to bring their results to life.

Using their growing confidence with Purple Mash tools, the children expertly transformed raw data into a range of graph types. Some chose bar charts, others pictograms — and what really impressed me was how many were able to explain why they had chosen a particular graph type for their data.

Not only did they apply their computing skills, but they also used mathematical reasoning and showed a clear understanding of how graphs help us to analyse and interpret information.

To round off the session, pupils exported their work and began completing their investigation worksheets, reflecting on what they had discovered and how they had used digital tools to solve real-world questions.

Well done Year Three — your computing skills are growing every week, and today you truly showed what it means to be #InspiredToLearn!
