Art - portrait planning.

 <---Do you know what this is called?  We will be using these over the next few weeks to help us understand the proportions of a body as we sketch people in action.

            We will also be practising our self-portraits. 
            Can you line up your facial features?--->

Practise all kinds of maths!

Here is a useful link that we have been using in our maths lessons to practise all kinds of areas of maths including addition and subtraction, and number sequences and patterns.

RE - Baptism and the Sacraments

For the next few lessons in RE we will be talking about Sacraments and what this word means.  How many Sacraments do you know?

We will start by exploring the Rites of Baptism. 

We would love it if you could bring in any memories from your Baptism; perhaps a picture, the garment you wore or the candle you received.  We will share these within the class, as we recreate a Baptism!

What do you know about the Baptism of Jesus? (Think about our Class Saint)!

Maths Link - Hit the Number Bonds!

Here is the weblink that we used last week to help with our number bonds.

You can use it for other areas of number in maths too - it caused great excitement last week!

Do you have a favourite animal?

Here in Year 3, we love animals!

By now, you will have realised that Miss Wood adores cats, her son has 2 rats and a chamelion, and Mrs Hassett loves Bichon Friche dogs!








As part of our science work, we will be looking at different animals.  We will also come across many different animals on our school trip to Ash End House Farm in October. 

We would love to know what your favourite animals are...why not bring in a drawing, picture or research on your favourite animal or pet (unfortunately, we cannot allow pets in school; otherwise Miss Wood might take them home!) 
We will also be using some of our information when it comes to data-handling maths work, later on!

After school PE clubs

 

So far we have offered after school PE clubs for football and basketball to Year 3.  There are only 20 places available and all have now been filled. 

Places are given on a first-come-first-served basis.  Apologies for those of you that did not manage to get in this time round.  However, more places will be offered, starting in the January Spring Term.  I will advise you again as soon as places become available.  If you want to be put on a waiting list for this term (running until December 2104) , please come and see Miss Wood.

PE - striking and fielding

WOW - you are already great at catching and throwing!

This half term in PE we are concentrating on 'striking and fielding' - this means we will be improving our catching, throwing and batting skills in readiness to play the sport of rounders!

Already, we have begun to learn catching and throwing balls in different ways.  We will also be improving our hand-eye-coordination so we can strike a moving ball!  We will also learn how to 'field' so we can get our opponents out, quickly!

Are you up to the challenge?

Remember to keep full PE kits in school for Friday's and bring a drink - it's hot out there!
