Baddie bag part II

Today the children brought in their baddie bags, we had lots of different everyday items that had a truly bad history. Some of the items that were brought in were:

A case
a wooden spoon,
a toy mouse,
a spelling book,
a toy cat,
a football,
a rubber,
a train timetable
a pen,
a letter,
a spring.
a pin.
All of these items though were involved in something that was truly bad. The children stood in front of the class and told of the bad things that these items did.
Can you guess what they were involved in?
Tomorrow we will write up a poem based upon the items that were brought in by the children.
Thank you for helping your child prepare their "Baddie Bag."

Place Value

Today in our maths lesson we have been revising place value. We looked at the position of numbers on a 100 square. How we get from one number to the next. We solved some 100 square puzzles identifying the missing numbers.

We then looked at how numbers can be partitioned, that is broken up into its different parts.
426 becomes 400+20+6.

Baddie bag

We have all heard of a "goodie bag." Its the bag we get at the end of a party filled with nice things as a way of saying thank you for coming. We might get sweets or toys or even a book. It is a good thing to get.

Today at school Mr Barton produced a "Baddie bag," in it were things that had been involved in bad or nasty happenings. Some of the things in it were a tennis ball, a ruler, a calculator, a pen and a plaster. Not normally nasty things. They have become nasty when we found out what they did.

This is the ball that was hit and smashed a window,
This is the ruler that drew a line through someones name,
This is the calculator that stole someones money,
This is the pen that signed the letter for war,
This is the plaster that ripped and stung our skin.
This is a baddie bag.

Can you at home select 5 things that could go into your "Baddie bag" List them and ask if you could bring them in tomorrow and together we can create our own "Baddie bag" poetry.

Sports Day

Today was supposed to be KS2 sports day but unfortunately the weather has meant that we have had to cancel it. It will be rearranged for a later date next week.

The Holy Trinity

Trinity means three. The Holy Trinity means the three different versions of God.

We have God the Father.

God the Son, who we know as Jesus.

God the Holy Spirit who guides us and helps us to do good things.

It is this Holy Spirit that we have inside us. When we were baptised we received the Holy Spirit and all of the good things that we do is through letting the Holy Spirit do its work through us.

We thought of a lot of people who let the Holy Spirit work through them, these included, Priests, Doctors, Nurses, Policemen, Firemen and all who help us through their work. Others may let the Holy Spirit work through them by the work that they do for charity. They might be sponsored to raise money for that cause or they may volunteer to give up their time for others.

We spoke about how we can show the Holy Spirit at work in school some of the answers were being helpful, being a brilliant friend, be kind to others, stand up for each other, show forgiveness and showing LOVE.

A tortoise takes its time.

Yesterday we started to practice for our music assembly which takes place on 17th July. We will be performing three songs. First we will sing You are my sunshine, with a twist yet to be revealed. Our second song will be "A tortoise takes its time" (very apt for year 3). We will be using the E, D and C chime bars to help with the chorus. The third song is very scary indeed, so we will need to make sure the lights are turned on, it is called Haunted House.
Over the next few days we will be singing to make sure that our performance is spot on for Mrs Aldred's music assembly.

A letter to our new teacher

Today we started to plan and write a letter of introduction to our new teacher, whoever he or she maybe! We have told them what we like about school and what we enjoy doing in our spare time. We have also included what we think we could do better at or improve. we will spend tomorrow writing this up so it is our best work.
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression!
