Postcards From Greece

This morning, some Year Three children were imagining they were in Greece. In a combination of our current work in both English and geography, the children wrote postcards about what it would be like to be on holiday in Greece.

These examples were written by Maria, Yasmin and Ella.

Persuading The Teacher

As part of our persuasive writing lessons 3JC/DA wrote to their teacher to persuade them to let the class have some extra time on the Adventure Playground. Here are three examples of their attempts:

Mr Ainscow,

Please can you take us on the Adventure Playground because you have been working hard by teaching us. Mr Ainscow you will get some fresh air if you take us to go on the adventure. Mr Ainscow can you take us to go to the adventure playground because you will get fit.

Nydile

Please can you bring us onto the Adventure Playground. I promise we will all wear our coats and be very careful. You really deserve to get a run around for being such a good Assistant Headteacher.

Brodie

Dear Mr Ainscow

Please could we go on the Adventure playground. Firstly, we get some fresh air and you will have some time off your boring job. Finally, you will not have to shout at naughty children.

Harry 

Dear Mr Ainscow,

You and Mrs Cook are the best teachers in the world. I think you and our class should have a break from all our work and we would like to go on the Adventure Playground because we haven’t been first in ages. We would really like it if we’re allowed. We all promise we’ll be really, really, really, really good.

Leia

We shall have to see if their efforts get them what they want!

Home Learning Information for Year Three

This coming term, the home learning expectations are as follows:

Each week, there will be times table practice and either a written consolidation or Mathletics task set. (30 minutes)

In school, we have a weekly focus on a spelling rule. A list of spellings to learn that follow the week's rule will be provided. (20 minutes)

Children should read with an adult at least three times a week at home. Where possible, this could be every day. Renaissance Home Connect enables parents to see information about your child's progress within Accelerated Reader.

This home learning will be set on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday. Home learning will recommence on Thursday 11th January.

Spelling tests will take place in the same way they did during the autumn term.
