This week in Literacy!

This week in literacy we will be looking at different ways to write poetry.  What makes a poem?  What poems do you know?

Poets write from their experiences.  We will start by writing a poem about Autumn, and we will take a walk around the school grounds to find out what there is to experience (don't forget to bring your coats!)

What do you know about Autumn - think of how you can use your senses..

Click on the link below for some Autumn poem ideas. (the web link is American, so some spellings may be different, but there are some lovely poems to read).

The choice is yours...!

As part of our preparation for our First Confessions we will be discussing Good and Bad choices, and the consequences it has on others, as well as ourselves.

Take some time to reflect on your recent actions...Was it a Good or Bad choice? How did it make others feel?  How did it make you feel?  Could you have made a different choice?

Year 3 trip - TUESDAY, 14th OCTOBER - Ash End House Farm (Science/Geography)

Year 3 Trip - Ash End House Farm – Tuesday, 14^th October, 2014

Dear Parents/Carers,

This is a reminder about our Year 3 Science/Geography trip.  We are all very excited and looking forward to learning what the farm has to offer.

 

May we remind you that your child needs to be in school no later than 8.40a.m. (in time to prepare for our journey) -  (our coach will be leaving at 9.05a.m.)

School uniform is not necessary, however, due to the time of year we do advise that you send your child in suitable, warm-weather outdoor clothing; including waterproof coat and suitable footwear (the farm can become muddy and chilly).

Your child will also need a suitable packed lunch (no yoghurt or packets of sweets) (in a labelled carrier bag, no cutlery - for easy disposal), and a drink (non-fizzy) (preferably in a bottle for easy disposal) – please remember, time at the farm is limited and we are promoting healthy eating!

Please DO NOT send your child with any additional money as there is no tuck/souvenir shop available during this trip.

We aim to arrive back to school by 3p.m. - traffic permitting (the school office will be kept informed as to our return journey).

May we ask that if your child suffers from travel sickness that you please inform us as soon as possible.   

If your child is registered with school medical needs for an inhaler, this will be taken with us.

Thank you,

Year 3 Staff
