Crew Dutton – Your Y3 Sports Day Champions!

We were so thrilled to be the Y3 Crew with the most points at the end of yesterday’s fun-packed sports day! Although we were losing to start, we managed to turn it around at the end with the skipping and obstacle races … a great job by everyone! As if winning wasn’t enough, we also showed some fabulous levels of sportsmanship by cheering others on and by congratulating our peers who might have found some of the races tricky. Well done everyone 🙂

Year 3 – Telling The Time Practice

Year 3 are working hard on their current Maths topic – telling the time, but many of us are finding it very tricky … especially telling the time to 5minutes and to the minute using analogue clocks. Please could we urge everyone to spend some time at home looking at analogue clocks and watches, discussing time and practising reading different times throughout the day as this will really help us when we are looking at digital times and then problem solving with time.

For half-term, we did share some homework around this so a big well done to those who have already completed this. If you haven’t already done it then why not take another look at the previous blog post here: https://greentopschool.co.uk/year-3-telling-the-time-homework-for-half-term/

Year 3 – Role-Playing our new text, FLOOD!

Today, we had fun taking a closer look at our new text, FLOOD by Alvaro F Villa … a picture book with no words! Children shared their notices and wonders about the pictures included in the book and we thought about all the different ways there might be to tell ‘the story’ of FLOOD with our own words. Then children worked collaboratively to role-play some of the different scenes in the story, thinking about what the characters might be doing and thinking, and how they might be feeling.

Class 10 – Superstar Shout Outs!

A few fab shout outs to end the week in Class 10 … we’ve seen lots of children getting smart at home with home learning on telling the time and on the different kinds of rocks children have found in their gardens. Not to mention, Jack has been practising his ‘form’ for his recent grading in martial arts – wowza!

Don’t forget to bring in any home learning to share with us in school – we love to see it!

Year 3 – FYI: Friday Orienteering

Each Friday afternoon, Year 3 will be accessing our outdoor orienteering scheme in the school grounds. Please can you ensure your child wears appropriate footwear and coat/jacket depending on the weather. This starts tomorrow so please consider that the grass may be wet and it may rain following today’s change in weather.

Thank you for your continued support 🙂

Class 10 – Fossilisation

Today, we were fascinated once again by more amazing learning about rocks … we learned about the process of fossilisation and were even lucky enough to see some real life fossils which Tosia found on a trip Hornsea beach. Perhaps next time you visit the beach, you might find some fossils too!
