What a great afternoon we had for our KS2 Sports Day! We are so proud of all the children for getting involved!

Year 3 – Beautiful Artwork
Year 3 have really enjoyed their art lessons with Mrs Green as part of their G-Block experience this term. Check out some of their beautiful finished pieces below:
Year 3 – Crochet at Playtimes
It has been so lovely to watch some of our Year 3 children practising their crochet skills on the playground – some of the items they have been making are wonderful, including gloves, bracelets and even a board rubber for their teachers. Great job, everyone – such skill!
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/
You might also find this clock-face poster a useful tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEgZLbusnHDci9sh7PMsSUPYSI73jsf8/view?usp=sharing
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.
Year 3 – Orienteering
This afternoon, Year 3 enjoyed their first Friday orienteering session and (luckily for us!) the sun had come out just in time. Children used maps of the school grounds to locate the different markers and then, from these markers, they recorded different 3digit numbers that they will need to sort in ascending order next week when we finish the hunt!
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 🙂
