Well done this week. We have had a very hot week in school, and I feel a little rotten that we have had the blinds closed to keep out the sun!
We have been busy again in PE. We have been running around the field with maps, finding our stations in orienteering. We have also been working on our athletics skills too with Miss Monday.
I class we have begun a new history topic about the Victorian workhouse that used to be in Netherthong. The children were fascinated to find it on a map and to learn about what it would have been like there. and why you might have ended up in the workhouse.
Our History work ties in nicely with our new book all about Jane Pinny. She is a maid in an old house and we are looking forward to finding out what happens to her.
In Maths we have been learning about statistics and we have created our own graphs after gathering data on a frequency table. The children did a great job. We have also been continuing our work on times tables especially our 8's.
Have a great weekend, be safe, have fun and be careful.

Another amazing week from Class 3!
I have loved seeing all of the class being amazing again in our orienteering session. The children really enjoyed using the dabber (I'm not sure if that is what thy are called!) to clock their timings. They pushed each other, supported each other and had so much fun. You make me proud!
I also loved listening to you play our recorders! Wow! You have great control over the sound that you are making. You begin and end at the correct time. I can't wait to hear the first full piece of music that we will play. I wonder if that will be next week?
Your confidence is Maths and English is growing by the week and you push yourselves to be the best you can be. Keep it up.
Mr Kershaw says thank you for letting him come and visit and join in our investigations on shadows yesterday. You were very clever completing some Class 4 and Class 6 maths to help with the investigation! We had a lot of fun and found that shadows were bigger than the shape that creates the shadow.
Have a great weekend.

Welcome back to everyone. It sounds like you have all had a great holiday.
We have had a busy week back.
We had a great start with Miss Monday (on Tuesday!) with our new athletics sessions in PE. We then went into our Orienteering with our new coach on Thursday. It was wonderful to watch you all work so well as teams, supporting and helping each other create obstacle courses and draw the maps. You encouraged each other to be brave and have a go! Well done.
In Maths, we have been learning about lines! We learnt all about horizontal, vertical, parallel and perpendicular lines. We also learn about turns. You had a go at turning clockwise and anti-clockwise and used the correct terminology for right angle turns. Keep it up!
We have begun a little project all about fables in Literacy. You have enjoyed thinking about some of the morals that appear in different fables and have begun to plan your own fable. We even learnt the term - protagonist!
Keep up your hard work Class 3!

Well done this half term. You have been amazing. When I think back over the half term, we have been really busy.
We had Miss Arno with us, which was great. We have had a river study, read books and we have even started to learn the recorder.
This week has been a busy one, with lots of Jubilee celebrations to add into the timetable. We have learnt our song and the National Anthem. It sounded amazing on the playground this afternoon and you all looked wonderful in your red, white and blue.
You really enjoyed looking at my old books from home , which led onto lots of discussions about the war and what the Queen and her family did.
We also looked at my oboe and discovered how it was very similar in lots of ways, to our recorders.
Take care over the holidays and we will see you all soon.

This week, Class 3 have had an exciting week! We have looked at a story called ‘Into the Forest’ and have written a piece of writing describing an image from the book. In our work, we used extended noun phrases and created some very interesting sentences.
In Maths, we worked on doubling and halving. We also looked subtracting and borrowing. We all tried our very best, and worked very hard. In our Geography, we looked at physical and human geography. We created a table and looked at Netherthong and the North-West and their features of the landscape.
Also, we got to practise our recorders which was really fun! We learned some music and the music note ‘B’ and ‘A; We can’t wait for the next lesson!
We are also learning a song, as well as the National Anthem for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We’re both excited and nervous to learn them!
On Thursday, two of us took part in a cricket tournament at Holmfirth Cricket Club. The day started out very cold, then it got very sunny which made the games harder to play, but they were still fun. It was one of the best days ever! We played seven games, and played our best in all of them.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend!
