Follow the web link below, from Activity Village...

...this sets out some child friendly guidelines, using Fireman Sam.   
They recommend that  'Children should not browse video sharing sites unsupervised'.

Activity Village
"If you are going to an organised event or plan to set off fireworks [sic...at home], make sure that everyone involved knows all about safety. We have the Fireworks Code available to print, some minibooklets to test the children and some safety tips from everyones favourite fireman, Fireman Sam!

Here's a fun way to make sure your family is safe on Bonfire Night - watch this series of videos to take some tips from Fireman Sam! And of course he has Elvis and Norman around to make sure everyone understands."

Happy Half Term!

Well done for all of your hard work this half term.  Have a safe and restful week.

Remember to keep up with your reading, times tables and spellings. 

It is important that you keep practising your Format for Confession, Act of Contrition and any readings that you may have been given, in preparation for Enrolment Mass and Sacrament of Reconciliation service when we return to school.

Team Year 3

***Thursday Basketball Club!***

This is a post for the children currently attending our Basketball club on Thursday 

Coach Kurtis has advised you to watch some Junior High School basketball videos to understand how fast-paced the game should be.  He wants you to pay particular attention to the movement and travelling of players and how they pass the ball to one another.  Remember - it's all about TEAMWORK!

I have included a suitable link below...

How are animal skeletons different/the same as humans? - Science

 

Can you remember the functions of our skeleton?  Do you remember how many bones an adult body has?  Can you feel the bones in your body - can you remember what they are called?

Continuing our Science work on skeletons, this week we will be comparing skeletons of humans to those of different animals.

Do you know who these skeletons belong to?
 (could it be a...frog, human, cheetah or pelican...?)
What is the same and what is different about these skeletons?

Take a look at the link below to see more about animal skeletons.

Coming up after half term...

...we will be looking at how we move our bones during daily activities and exercise.

Can you help us, please?! - Flora and Stork Scheme

******** Can you help us, please?! ********

 

This autumn Flora and Stork, in partnership with Tesco, are running an amazing scheme called Tubs4Tablets. The scheme aims to help our school bring cutting edge technology into the classroom by giving us the opportunity to collect tokens from special tubs of Flora and Stork on sale at Tesco through early October and exchange them for FREE touch screen tablets!

Help us make our campaign a success! We need to collect as many tokens as possible, these can be found on promotional 500g tubs of Flora Original, Light and Buttery and Stork. Hand us your tokens… Just 50 tokens will get our school one brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0” Wi-Fi 8GB tablet so help us to claim as many as we can.

Spread the word! Remember, if friends, neighbours, work colleagues and family can help too we could collect even more tokens to exchange for tablets. There’s no limit to the amount of FREE tablets we can claim for the school!

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to come and ask.
