Great fence building today!

I think Year 3 would make fantastic Anglo-Saxon builders considering the way they tackled the repair of our hazel wattle fence today. They showed great confidence and co-operation as they worked in small teams to weave our new fence. Unfortunately, we ran out of cut hazel and have only done a quarter of the fence, so we will have to get some more hazel and spend some more time completing it!

Friday- Comic Relief

This Friday is Comic Relief. Just a quick reminder that we are asking the children to dress funny for money!

 

In assembly on Friday we will be sharing favourite jokes.  Also after school on Friday we will be having a cake sale. Each class will be baking and decorating cakes. However if you are baking this week or would like to donate some cakes for our sale please hand them to the children's class teacher on Friday.

 

All of the school have been learning the 2015 Comic Relief Song 'Put on a funny face'. It is a brilliant song and very catchy.  

Fence Building Year 3 Wednesday

Dear Parents,
The children in Year 3 will be going outside on Wednesday to help Mr. Farrington to build a wattle fence (hazel). They will be going outside in groups of 6 children for about half an hour at a time. Please can you provide your child with "outdoor footwear" (to change into) on Wednesday. We do not think that they require a change of clothing, - but a coat will be necessary.

Thank you,

DM

Writing to St. Thomas' School, Bolton

Today we wrote letters to the children at St. Thomas' School, Bolton. Mr. Farrington used to live near to this school and visited quite recently.
The children in Year Three enjoyed telling the children in Bolton all about our school and what it is like living in Dorset.

Home Learning - Months of the Year - and Poetry (Friday 6th March)

For our Year 3 "Home learning" this week, I have asked the children to learn the names for all of the months of the year - in order.

 I have also encouraged the children to learn this poem:

"Thirty Days Hath September"  - Poem

30 days hath September,
April, June and November.
All the rest have 31,
Except February alone,
Which only has 28 days clear
And 29 in each leap year.

This ticks two boxes in the new National Curriculum:
-Learning poetry
and
- Knowing how many days there are in each month.
