'Wakey- Wakey' everybody...

We have been getting our groove on and have been dancing to wake ourselves up and prepare  for the day ahead.

We spent the day at Sandfield Farm and had a fantastic day!

When we arrived we were shown where the new Schoolroom was being built and we were told about the changes that are taking place there.

We went on a very long walk and collected natural materials, such as berries, that we ground down to use as paint. We also collected burnt firewood to use as charcoal and then created our Stone Age masterpieces!

This week in maths we have been continuing our work on place value. We have been partitioning numbers in different ways and have used this knowledge to add 10, 100 or 1,000 to a 3-digit number. Some of us used Base 10 equipment to help us!

In Topic we have been learning about the Stone Age. We have produced some superb silhouettes of Stonehenge in Art by mixing paints.

This week the Children have been writing their very own Adverts for a new friend. They have used lots of wonderful adjectives and conjunctions to make their writing engaging for the reader. They have also included characteristics that they are looking for in a friend.

Over the next term the Children will be able to view these adverts and choose a friend to play with in the playground, if they are feeling a little lonely!

WELCOME TO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

What a brilliant first week we have had in year 3! It has been lovely to see the faces of my new class beaming with big smiles. 

We have spent this week learning the rules of our new classroom. We have discussed; sanctions and rewards, our place in the school, classroom signs and signals - all ready to be put into practice next week! 

I look forward to meeting you all at 'Meet the Teacher!'
