Year 3's Christmas Songs video

For our Christmas songs this year, we have decided to sing It was on a Starry Night and Shine. We decided on Shine as the lyrics reflect the schools ethos on promoting a positive mental attitude and always trying your very best.

Christmas Jumper Designs

Year 3s for Christmas Jumper Day have designed their own Christmas Jumpers and we have hung them on our washing line.

Santa Dash

For Christmas this year, the children took part in Santa Dash thanks to Mr Burke. We started off with Bobsleigh where we simulated racing down the icy track on our chairs along to a video. We then had a game of Reindeer Round Up where Santa, Mrs Claus and the Elves had to catch the escaped reindeers before christmas. We then had to do as many jumps as we could in 1 minute in a game of Christmas Jumper. Finally, we searched for 24 Santa cards hidden all around the playground, as quickly as we could!

Year 3 Transition

Year 3 starts the transition into KS2 which can be a very different experience for some children.  Children are led towards a change in curriculum expectations, as well as a change in mindset, now accessing a classroom at the opposite of the school, where the 'older' children are taught.  Year 3 children access a different playground, therefore a period of transition takes place at the beginning of the year to settle children in to their new routines. 

Children tend to flourish and mature in Year 3 which is a truly magnificent thing to encounter as a teacher.

Year 3 E-Safety Lessons

Gooseberry Planet - Street

As we are spending more time online at home than we might normally, our online safety curriculum is as important as ever! We complete two lessons each half term. We will inform you when these have been completed so that you can log on to your child's account so they can play the reinforcing game. You will be able to print off a certificate after these.

In Year 3, we encourage an increased degree of independence. Pupils are expected to complete the home learning that has been sent home for the whole of the half term. Home learning is to be completed by the deadline, which is usually the last Wednesday of the half term before the holidays. 

Spellings were send out in the parent information pack. Initially, we are focussing on the Year 1/2 spellings up to Christmas. These will be tested during the final week of the term. After Christmas, we will be focussing on the Year 3/4 spellings in preparation for the annual spelling bee!

Pupils are expected to read 5 times a week at home. 

Pupils will be sent home with 15 weekly spellings on a Monday and will be tested on the following Monday. Spelling scores will be recorded in pupils diaries by their class teacher.

This weeks spellings are:

There are two sets of online learning which need completing weekly. These are Maths with Parents and Spag.com. The links to these can be found below.
