​Last week in Year 3, we looked at why people bully others. As part of our learning, we watched two short, animated films. The first one was called The Birds, where a larger, more unusual bird tries to make friends with a group who clearly think he is weird and don't want anything to do with him. After he tries to make friends with them, they ...

It has been a very busy half term with lots of learning and hard work. This week we have been learning about Google Classroom (teachers and students) and looking at how this might be helpful to us all if we are off school in the future. It is a steep learning curve for all of us and we will update you as often as possible. If you need any further i...

Hi Year 3We have had a busy week learning all about the Viking landing at Lindisfarne as well as creating Viking helmet designs and - of course - Maths and English. Next week will be our last week before half term so there will be lots to do and lots to learn - as well as having some fun! On Thursday we are having a Viking day with cookin...

This week we have all been thinking about our mental health and well-being so I thought it would be a nice idea to continue that idea for one of our homework tasks. We all know that smiling at friends and family and helping others makes us feel good too, so I would like you to keep that in mind this week. Think about t...

It's the end of another full week of work in Year 3. We have been getting to know about Viking beliefs and life through our topic work this week and the children have really enjoyed it. As you know, there will be a few festivals over the next few weeks so homework will be linited to allow for this. I have included the usual spel...

 Hi Year 3This week as you know, we have been working on place value and the many different representations - counters, money, base ten blocks etc. I would like you to reinforce this week's learning by having a go at the Diving into Mastery work. Begin by working on your group questions (see below) and - if you want to - move on to the next se...

​Hi Year ThreeWell, it has been a very exciting week in the classroom. We have been painting, writing and making Viking butter! This weekend is the festival of Rosh Hashanah and so, as usual, homework will be kept to a minimum. I have included your spellings this week ready for our test next Friday so learn them when you can. In addition to th...

This is the end of our first full week of school and we have been working very hard! The children have all been given a blank exercise book to bring home for homework. Please do not send the books back to school but use them at home. Don't forget to put a comment in your child's planner to let me know how well they (and you) have done!Homework...

Welcome to all of our Year 3 families. This term we are having to do things differently as I am sure you have already realised and homework is one of those differences. To minimise the number of books and papers going from home to school and back again, we have decided to put all homework on the class blogs. This will include answers...

A special message to our Year Three - soon to be Year Four! 

 Hi there Year Two, my name is Mrs Nash and I would like to welcome you not only to Year Three, but also to Key Stage Two, which in my day meant - The Juniors! It was a big step then as the junior school I went to was in a separate building to the infant school and it was also higher up on a hill so I felt really grown up on my first...

This week Year Three have continued their work looking at the artist Paul Klee. They have used oil pastels, felt tips and paper to recreate some of the artist's best known work. The paintings are from different periods of the artist's life and are very colourful. We have enjoyed exploring this in our work. At home, there has been some lovely w...

Good morning Year Three I hope that you have found both the blogs and the text books useful for teaching and working from home over the last few months. It has been a huge learning curve for all of us I think - parents, children, TAs and teaching staff. With this in mind, can I please ask that text books are now returned to school, either now,...

I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. I can't quite believe that we are nearly at the end of the school year! It doesn't feel like it to be honest. It would be lovely to hear from as many of you as possible so that I can share your pictures and messages with your friends in school so please send some in and I will pass them on to your clas...

 Welcome Year Three. Today I am setting you some experiments to try out. Please ask an adult to help and observe sensible working conditions (never putting things in your mouth or using sharp tools without supervision) I have included a prompt sheet for your parents too so that they can read up on the science behind the experiments. Why not wo...

I hope you had a good weekend and are keen to get on with your work for this week. We are coming to the end of our school year and it does seem very quiet with no concert, sports day or any of the other fun activities we do at this time of year. But, we are slowly welcoming more children back which is lovely as schools feel too empty without c...

Good morning Year ThreeI hope you enjoyed the writing based on the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. I have always enjoyed reading about the strange and fascinating characters from this book. It got me thinking about art and fashion. The Mad Hatter has some amazing costumes and make-up. I would like you to design - and make (if you can) a M...

Good morning Year Three.I am very pleased that some of you will be back in school today. Of course, I am sad that it can't be all of you but we still have to stay safe and alert and make sure we follow the rules for staying healthy. I have said goodbye to my Year One 'bubble' as they move to combine with the other bubble and Miss Hussain in he...

Good morning Year ThreeLast week one of our children celebrated a birthday and I have to say his cake looks absolutely yummy! I am sure we all  wish him a happy birthday. This week I have been sent some lovely work including paintings, maths, writing and pictures showing one of our class learning to cycle without stabilisers!&nb...

Good morning Year Three I hope you are well. Today I am going to ask you to look at our new Science topic about rocks and soils. This might not sound very interesting - unless you enjoy a good mud bath of course - but there is a lot to learn about this fascinating topic. I would like you to watch the video on    https:...
