Make your sentences better.

This is a good programme. You start with a very simple sentence. Before you click anywhere, think how you could up-level it (make it more complex). Then click on a part of the sentence and watch it become more and more interesting.

Can you write any sentences like that?

Ash Wednesday

Today we went over to church and we received ashes on our forehead. We will try to keep Lent holy by following the promses we made below.

Our Lent Promises

This year during Lent 3B will try to

• To say one Hail Mary at the start and end of each day.
• To raise money to support the school's charities
• Try to eat more healthily.

In class we will think of our own promises which will make Lent a holy time of the year.

Every Lent we raise money for a number of charities. These are

1. CAFOD
2. Alton Castle Residential Centre
3. Good Shepherd Appeal for Father Hudson's Homes.
4. Marie Curie Cancer Care
5. St Anthony's Orphanage in South Africa
6. Birmingham Catholic Partnership appeal for schools and communities in Rwanda.

This is a great site which allows you to practice all of the various different parts of maths. I would recommend you looking at the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division parts of the number section. It is good revision for you.

Reading

I cannot stress how important it is to keep reading. After you have read to a grown up can you please write down in one or two sentences the key events from what you have read. This will help with your understanding of the text and make reading more enjoyable.

Internet Safety Day

February 10th January is world internet safety day. So today is a good time to show what we do with the children to keep them safe and help them to use the internet to help them to learn and become internet literate.

An excellent website is the think you know site,

http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk

Here the children are placed into different situations and are asked to decide what to do, giving information on how to stay safe online.

The parents site is here and gives guidance on how to keep children safe while they use technology at home and outside of school.

Paul O Brien Bullying worshop

Today Paul O Brien visited Year 3 and spoke to us about bullying. We collected some words and feelings about bullying, and as Paul is a song writer, he put all of our words into a song about a bully who changes his ways.

The song we wrote together is called "Together we can shine."

Myth legend opening.

Today we planned the opening to our legend. We discussed the setting which we agreed to be New York, and thought about the sights and sounds that the children might come across at night. Then we placed our hero into that setting and tomorrow we will write up the opening paragraph of our story which will lead us into the main part and the meeting with the evil villain.
