Gospel Assembly Information

Year 3 (Year 3) on: Year 3 Class Blog

Hi Year 3 and Year 3 grownups, 

I've attached the gospel assembly power-point for you all to start to look over in preparation for our assembly on the 12th June. Details regarding the timings of the assembly will be confirmed nearer the time, as I'm aware we should have swimming in the afternoon. 

We will be practicing the assembly throughout the coming weeks at school but please do practice at home. The children will also be doing a dance to the song that is embedded in the power-point, which they can practice at home once they've been shown the steps.  

I will also be printing out their parts for them to take home. If you have any questions please let me know.

Week commencing 15th May

Year 3 (Year 3) on: Year 3 Class Blog

Hi Year 3 and Year 3 grownups, 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. 

We had an excellent week last week, we were able to take our science learning outside and planted some beautiful flowers in the pots outside our classroom, and were excellent representatives of the school during our LEGO Spike workshop at Wath Library. The children were highly praised by the workshop leaders for the engagement and excellent work ethic. And on one of the days, we came back to find our classroom had been destroyed by a pretend flood as part of our literacy experience days!

This week we have some more amazing learning opportunities. On wednesday morning the children will attend an online assembly for the Good Shepherd Appeal and on Friday we will be heading down the River Dearne to complete some fieldwork. On Friday, please ensure your child has; a packed lunch, wellies, a raincoat and are wearing PE type outdoor wear. 

Thank-you to all those of you who have been completing your homework tasks. I can see that you're working really hard and it's making a big difference to the work you produce in lessons. Homework for this week; Homework task WC 15th May (1).docx is maths homework to consolidate learning with money. We're needing a little more practice with this as a class so let's work hard this week.

TT rockstars- Let's have a big focus on TT Rockstars this week and see if we can make it into the league!

See you all bright and early tomorrow!

Love from

In our topic of The River Dearne, we will be exploring 4 number grid references so this week's homework task is to complete the map. Children will be given a print out of this tomorrow. Any questions at all please let me know.

Hi Year 3, 

Well done for a fantastic first week back. We enjoyed lots of new learning and I was so impressed with your knowledge about rivers. Thank-you as well to all of you who completed your homework task on writing a short poem about Rivers. I will be choosing a couple to put up on our display this week.

In forest school we created maps of our school, as we will be designing and using maps within our new topic and in Science we took our learning outside and sketched some of our favourite plants, annotating the parts of the plant and their functions. 

Enjoy looking photos of this below: 

This week we will continue with our new learning and we will have our spelling test on Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure children continue practicing spellings:

fruit

circle

bicycle

Children also need to bring 5 of their favourite personal items and a carrier bag for our literacy experience day on Tuesday.

The timetable can be found here: WC 24th April.docx

Let's have a lovely week and we can't wait to see you tomorrow. 

Love,

Return from Easter Break

Year 3 (Year 3) on: Year 3 Class Blog

Hi Year 3 and Year 3 grownups!

We can't wait to welcome you back on Monday and hope you've had a well deserved break. Myself and the other Year 3 grownups were so proud of all that you achieved last term. 

We have lots of exciting new learning coming up including; the River Dearne, more Spanish learning, a new unit of narrative writing and further learning of fractions. 

Alongside this, Year 3 have been selected to start swimming lessons on Monday afternoons. Please ensure children arrive at school with their swimming costume, towel and swimming cap in a waterproof bag. If you do not own a swimming cap, these are purchasable at the leisure centre for £2. You can bring this amount along with you on Monday in order to purchase one.

I have attached the timetable for the first week here- WC 17th April.docx

This term we are going to have a big push on handwriting and spelling so this will now be a weekly homework task. Each Wednesday afternoon the children will have a spelling test focusing on Year 3 common exception words. There will be no test this week but one the week after. Spellings to learn are; 

build

guide

fruit

circle

bicycle

accident

actual

straight

weight

height

Additional homework due 24/04/2023 is for children to write a short poem describing a river. This will help with our new story and will be great to showcase on our topic display. Here is an example: 

Have a great evening and see you Monday!

Lots of love, Miss Castleton, Mrs Deakin and Mrs Lambert xx
