Year 3 Spellings (for Tuesday 1st May)

Spellings for children in Year 3 – for quiz on Tuesday 1st May

Mr. Spracklen’s Digital Leaders

A big THANK YOU to all pupils who applied to become one of Mr. Spracklen’s Digital Leaders! There was a huge response and it was very difficult to pick just one child from each class. I have have now decided who will represent each class and have written to each pupil offering them positions as Digital Leaders and inviting them to our first meeting. May I thank everyone again who applied and encourage those pupils that were not successful this time to apply again in the future and attend one of our I.C.T lunchtime clubs which currently include Augmented Reality Club on a Monday lunchtime with me, Mr. Spracklen and Maths I.C.T Club on a Friday lunchtime with Miss. Johnson.

Visit Library Tuesday 24th Afternoon

The children in Year 3 are visiting the Library on Tuesday (24th) afternoon next week. We will be walking there and having a picnic and a play in the Borough Gardens on the way. This means that all children will be needing a packed-lunch on that day. Please make sure that your child has a good waterproof coat. The Library staff will be leading a variety of activities for the children during the afternoon.

Home Learning (Friday 20th-Friday 27th April)

The Diary of a Young Viking

 I would like the children to write some sentences in the style of a “diary entry” of a Young Viking. They have looked at a website at school where a young Viking called Thorkel has to go into town to collect items from various “shops” in order to be allowed to join the crew of a Viking trading ship. The children could base their “diary entries” on this. They could also make up some things that could happen to him on his way to Norway.

Tarpaulins Needed

Do you have a spare tarpaulin that you could let Year 2 borrow? We will be using them for a large art based project we have planned in the coming weeks. Any large tarpaulin in any colour would be very gratefully received. We promise to look after your tarpaulin and return it to you when we have finished our project. Please pass your named tarpaulin to Mr. Spracklen or Mrs. Webb in Year. 2 if you have one who will take good care of it. Many thanks in advance.

VIKINGS

Have a fantastic holiday!
Don't forget that if you get the chance it would be really useful to start finding out about the Vikings. This topic will form a large part of our work in the first 3 weeks of the Summer Term - in the run up to our Cranborne Experience.

This is a useful website that we will be using. You might like to have a look.
