Year 3 Reminders and Updates

16th January 2025Claire Dutton

Just a few reminders for Year 3 now that we’ve settled back after the Christmas break:

  • PE is on Mondays – please ensure your child has their PE kit with them.
  • XP Outdoors is on Wednesdays – please ensure your child has appropriate outdoor wear with them for this activity.
  • Please bring your school / AR reading book and reading diary to school everyday. You can find your login details for AR Reading and TTRS in your diary so this needs to be at school each day and at home each evening / weekend.
  • Weekly spelling will be shared via the blog. Please check in and practise these at home.

For this half-term, Year 3 are lucky enough to be receiving an extra PE session from our partner, YourPE. This will take place each Friday morning starting tomorrow so please ensure your child has their PE kit on Fridays too.

Thank you for your ongoing support, Mrs Dutton and Mr Taylor.

Class 9 | Electrical Circuits

14th January 2025Jake Taylor

This week, the children have been getting to grips with electrical circuits. We have been looking at how a circuit needs to be complete in order for electricity to flow around it as well as replacing different components to investigate the effect that it has on the brightness of the lamps.

Class 9 | Home Learning

14th January 2025Jake Taylor

Last weekend, Arnie went to the local library, picked out a book on the human body and went home and read it. Arnie also designed a poster on good and bad things for teeth which he brought in to show the rest of the class.

Class 9 | Hook Week – The Human Body

10th January 2025Jake Taylor

The Human Body

We have been looking at some of the different organs that are inside our bodies. We began by drawing an outline of ourselves and then cut out different coloured shapes to make the different organs.

The Digestive System

In groups, we used playdough to recreate the organs that form part of the digestive system.

Year 3 XP Outdoors- Flint & Steel

8th January 2025Rory Kershaw

Year 3 Crews began their XP Outdoors again for the spring term. 

The challenge: Who still remembers how to use flint and steel was done by Year 4 yesterday so obviously Year 3 had to beat them.

They challenged themselves even more without having any instructions, there were some questionable strikes to start, but soon everyone got the hang of it with amazing efforts from all.

What another great way to start the term-bring it on, Year 3!

Class 9 | Mr Taylor SLC Appointments

7th January 2025Jake Taylor

I still have some time slots available for those parents who haven’t yet booked a place for their child’s SLC appointment. The children have been spending time this week looking back through all of the different pieces of work that they are proud of.

If you still need an appointment, please email me or see me on the school door at either the beginning or end of the day. Thank you.

Class 9 | Hook Week

6th January 2025Jake Taylor

We have been getting involved with our new expedition and immersing our classroom. We will be spending some time looking at the human skeleton this term so we decided to create a ‘X-ray’ of our hands!
