It is the end of a very long half term and the children have worked extremely hard over the past 8 weeks. I am so proud of them all. They have learned lots of new things and consolidated skills they already had. All in all, we have all become a stronger class 3 team!

I hope you have a lovely week off and look forward to seeing you all soon.

This week’s star is Eden. Eden has been incredibly focused and has produced some fabulous work this week. Well done Eden!

All the children have been absolute superstars over this past half term. They have adapted so well to the changes in school and have all gone home with a little treat today to say well done.

In RE this week, we have started to look at baptism and why Christians take their babies to be baptised. In science, we observed what had happened to the bread we had touched with clean and dirty hands. The results were quite disgusting and everyone concluded it is definitely better to wash our hands before eating. In maths, we have been exploring subtraction and different ways we can take away a smaller number from a bigger number.

Have a safe and happy half term.

Miss Walton and Mrs Tippey

Congratulations to Samuel who is Mrs Reid’s star of the week for showing excellent stamina and sportsmanship during PE.

Congratulations to Evan who is Mrs Evans’ star of the week for excellent effort and care with his artwork.

Class 4 have worked extremely hard this week creating their own versions of the Disney Pixar short story ‘La Luna’. They have also produced amazing replicas of Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Starr Night’ using oil pastels. The children have learnt about time zones. They understand that in different countries across the world it is a different time to us and they can all confidently explain why.

In RE this week, we have started a new topic all about belonging. We have talked about how it feels to belong and have listened to the story of Jesus and the children. In Geography, we have been finding out about jobs in the local area. The children created questionnaires to ask different staff in school about their jobs and are eagerly awaiting their response! In English, we have been researching tigers and have planned a non-chronological report that we will write next week.

This week, we have started to look at a story called ‘La Luna’. We have written character descriptions and dialogue.

On Friday, to celebrate World Mental Health Day, we thought about kindness and the effect this can have on our mental health. We came up with lots of random acts of kindness we can carry out. We also came up with some positive compliments for ourselves to celebrate how amazing we are!

Well done to Lydia-Rose who is our star of the day this week! She is such a happy child who always makes everyone smile whenever she is around. Her resilience is amazing- showing unbound perseverance especially with challenging work in maths. She is an all-round super star, keep it up!

As it is World Mental Health Day on 10^th October, we utilised Friday to undertake some activities to promote positivity and unity within class. We loved making friendship bracelets and coming up with our own class affirmations that we will pick from each day. We enjoyed finding acts of kindness we witnessed at breaktimes to share with everyone. To end the day, we enjoyed some yoga which left us feeling happy and calm.

This week’s star is Joe! Joe has been listening really well to instructions and has worked really well as an independent learner. Well done Joe!

To support World Mental Health Day, on 10^th October, the children looked at different ways to make them feel good about themselves. They had to find positive words to describe themselves before they posed for in our photo booth. We then listened to the story ‘Have You filled a Bucket Today’ and made cards for each other. To end our day, we enjoyed some yoga which left us all feeling clam, relaxed and happy.

Firstly, a huge well done to our star of the week Seth. He had fantastic letter and number formation this week. He has also been very helpful and enthusiastic all week long!

In maths, we have been learning to recognise and begin to form numbers 6-10. The children enjoyed doing this by throwing beanbags at numbered hoops, creating numbers in salt and using cars to drive round number tracks. In English we have continued rhyming activities, learning the rhyme, 5 little speckled frogs. We have also begun learning to recognize and form the letter sounds m, a, s and d! Thank you to all of you who have continued this learning at home completing the maths homework and the sounds in our sound book.

In art, the children enjoyed getting messy while mixing their own salt dough. They had to experiment with consistency, adding more water or flour depending on how wet/dry it was. We then formed and decorated our own hand prints.

For mental health week, we recapped our colour monster work talking about our feelings and how we can manage them. We also worked on our self-esteem by sharing our talents!

Finally, we learned about how we grow and change over time.  The children created a class time line and investigated the differences between themselves and some of the older children.
