We have been so busy in Year 3! Everyone is settling down in the routines and groupings they are in. Just a reminder that in the morning the work will be in the ‘house groups’ and the instructions will be on the board. I am really sorry but it turns out the magnets for the wizard wall are not strong enough so we will be replacing them soon.
In Literacy and topic we have started our rainforest topic. The children have been writing about what it might be like to be in the rainforest using their senses. We have looked at maps of the rainforest and will start this week to focus on the text ‘The Great Kapok Tree’.
In Maths we concentrating on place value. There will be a greater emphasis on reasoning and questioning this year. Please do encourage your child to use mathletics at home. New log ins will be coming home this week.
Forest school was fantastic this afternoon. Half of the class worked with Mrs Scott to collect, peel and chop apples ready for the harvest celebration. The other half worked with me where we discussed the roles of each part of a plant. They sketched and wrote about them. We have also started the job of taking down the hazel fence. There were at least 6 children today without Forest School clothes. Please can we have everyone’s next week as we do not want them to miss out.
It’s great to see so many of you have signed up to Marvellous Me! We are getting in to the flow of it now so hopefully you will have a lot more notifications regarding your child’s achievements at school.
Hopefully we will see you at the parent information session on Wednesday morning.
