Welcome to Year 3!

The class teacher is Mrs Winsbury and the teaching assistants are Miss Weatherley, Mr Darby and Mrs Barnard.

Notice about parking: I've been asked to remind parents that you must not park in the school carpark unless you have been given prior permission to do so. We have had some potentially dangerous incidents recently when picking up or dropping off. Many thanks

Our learning this week -  Spring Term

English

This week, the children have started their new Writing for Pleasure which is a return narrative on an African location. We've been drawing on our Geography biome knowledge for this, considering places such as the savannah, rainforest and desert. Next week, they'll get to write about what happens when they return home. How do they reflect on their adventures? What are they feeling and saying to others?

Maths

We've started our new topic on Length and Measurement. The children have been investigating how to measure in mm and cm and how to convert a mixed problem.

Art

We've been studying African masks - what their purpose is and how the geometric patterns and symmetry play an important role in their design. The children have had the chance to design their own templates and next week, we'll be creating their clay versions! 

Science

Today, we got to observe our egg experiment, drawing conclusions and checking if they matched our predictions. We then progressed on to learning about the digestive system. We explored which organs were vital in processing our food and how they did this. 

As well as the above, we're doing PE, RE, PSHE, French and Guided Reading, tying in with our topic theme, where possible. 

Our PE days are Mon and Wed. 

Our value this term is perseverance.
