Year 3: Zoom zoom zoom ... brilliant zoom

 Hello everyone!

It was fantastic to see you all on zoom this afternoon and catch up with what you have been up to. Thank you to Mums and Dads who helped to load all of the children on to this. The meeting codes will stay the same each week as will the time. I hope this is ok with everyone. Any problems please just give me an email. I asked the children for next week to find one thing that they would like to share with the group. Maybe something that they make during the week? 

Tomorrow you will have a pack coming home. Please can you watch the video

 I explain some of the items in the pack. Again if you have any questions or would like any resources please do let me know. 

We will be taking part in the big bird watch at the end of the month. In preparation for this I have started to feed the birds at school. I wonder where possible, could you put any food in your garden for the birds? 

Speak to you all again soon

Year 3: Some information for this week

Hello everyone. Well that definitely isn't the start of the Spring term that we were expecting! It's such a shame that we are in this situation again but we must all keep in touch and try and stay positive for the children. 

I have been really impressed with the learning that is happening at home already. On Tuesday the children will have home learning that has been set by me (Mrs Thorpe). I have tried to add in some videos to explain to the children what it is I would like them to do. I've also tried not to make all of it technology based. I know obviously having a mixture of the both is very helpful for you at home, especially if you are trying to juggle your own work. Please do keep us updated with any suggestions on ways to help with the online learning and please don't feel the pressure to go through everything. One thing I would say is that it would be best not to go ahead of what we have set in Power Maths and RWI Spellings. This is because when we all come back together we will set off again all from the same point. If some of the PM books haven't been completed then we can catch up on this but we'd rather you not rush through the book but keep to what we have set. 

On the timetable next week there are hyperlinks to the learning tasks and videos. On the Power Maths section there is the Discover and Share and the Think Together hyperlink. This would be good to work through with your child on as it explains how to work through the learning in the lesson. The children should then be able to work through the one lesson hopefully with less help in their books. 

I've sent everyone at home a zoom code for Wednesday pm. This zoom gathering will happen at the same time every week. If you can't make the meeting then do not worry but it would be great to talk with all the children in small groups then. 

We hope you have a lovely restful weekend and manage to get some daily exercise in this chilly weather. 

Sending lots of positivity and togetherness. Everyone in the Year 3 team is here for you all. Please do not hesitate to get in contact whenever you need to.

Year 3: Welcome to the Spring term!

 

We are really looking forward to welcoming the children back tomorrow to start the Spring term. 

This half term we will be only having Forest School on a Wednesday but this will start next week. For Spring 1 Forest School will be for Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor will be inside with Mrs Hall. After the half term we will be switching the groups around. This is so that we have a regular slot of Forest School. 

This week we will be reminding the children about Building Learning Powers and the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset. We will be introducing Remi the Reflective Monkey.  

In Literacy/History we will start our new topic on Stone Age to the Iron Age. 

In Maths we will start the next unit of Multiplication and Division. 

If you have any questions or concerns please do feel free to email us.

Year 3 - The Last Day Before Christmas - 17th December 2020

And here we are...

The excitement is ramped up to 100% and we are ready for the festive fun of the holidays.  

Some reminders:

Tomorrow (Friday) will be Christmas Party Day.  Children are invited to come in their Christmas Party / Home clothes and bring their own Christmas Lunch wrapped up as a parcel.  We will add in a few games and lots of Christmas fun.  

The last four weeks have truly been the best Christmas Ever and we wish each and every one of you an equally fabulous time in the coming weeks.

Merry Christmas 

Year 3: Thank you so much!

 

Thank you so much for your kind gifts this morning. It is a pleasure to teach each and every one of your children. 

We have had an amazing day today and Christmas dinner was delicious. 

I hope you all have a lovely break and I look forward to hearing about your festivities in January

Y3 Normal school clothes tomorrow please

 Hello 

Sorry just a quick blog to say that unfortunately we can’t do the campfire cook tomorrow as the weather isn’t looking good. So the children can come in normal school clothes but don’t worry we have a fun day planned!! 🎄🌟
