Good morning Palm Class! 

I hope you have had a good week! Today is Friday, which means it is our last day in year 3! It’s been such a strange year and although we didn’t get the chance to see the whole year through in school, you have been fantastic! It’s been tough but you have worked so hard this year and I am SO proud of all of you. You should be proud of all that you have achieved this year too! I have loved teaching each and every one of you and I will miss you lots and lots next year! Thank you all for being so brilliant, and I know you will be absolutely amazing in year 4! Your challenge for today is to relax and do things that you enjoy doing!

 

Have a great summer everyone!

From Miss Lazarus

We have been busy creating our own cave paintings with mud and chalk!

This half term Palm class will be delving into the past and will be exploring Pre-History! Our topic is Tribal Tales and we will be learning all about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and the Iron Age! In English we will be writing some exciting adventure stories and in Maths we will be busy learning all about fractions as well as focusing on multiplication and division worded questions. 

Last half term our topic was Heroes and Villains. In English we wrote lots of exciting crime stories with some terribly evil villains! In Science we focussed on Forces and Magnets and explored different forces. We also looked at significant individuals and what makes them an everyday hero.

We have had great fun making heroes and villains in our art lessons out of plastacine! Don't they look fantastic!

We have had a lot of fun as part of our STEM week! We have been testing out which materials make the best parachutes, classifying and experimenting with different kids of sweets! 

Previously, our topic was Predators. We had lots of fun learning about Peru and all of the predators that live there! 

We had lots of fun at our reading morning and loved reading to those who came! 

We even took part in a dodgeball competition against some other schools. We played amazingly and won!  

HELPING AT HOME AND REMINDERS

Read with them every night. Encourage them to read independently as well.

Talk about the books they are reading and ask them questions about what they have read.

Practise their spellings with them. We will have a spelling test every Tuesday.

Please remember to hand in your homework and your reading record on Monday; remember to bring in your P.E kit for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Practise their times tables with them, especially their 4, 6 and 8 times tables.

Make sure your child goes to bed at a sensible time.

Encourage your child to be healthy and active and discourage large amounts of time spent on electronic devices.
