Welcome back everyone! I hope you have had a good rest and enjoyed your holiday time. Did Sana visit? Maybe family did too!
We have started a new book in Class 3 this week. It is very exciting and adventurous! It is called Nim's Island by Wendy Orr. We have drawn a map of Nim's Island and we have written a description of the island which includes some wonderful vocabulary, handwriting and punctuation!
We have also been reading Podkin One Ear as a whole class. There are some wonderful words we have come across, such as armoured, metallic and torrent, so we have added some to our Magpie Books.
In Maths we have been drawing and writing fractions. I think we have all found it a little tricky at times, but also really good too! We really enjoyed colouring in the fractions of shapes.
We have been learning about how to keep healthy. This was in Science and in PSHE. We learnt about what animals, including humans, need such as: water, air, food and exercise! We also learnt how to keep health by keeping clean, brushing our teeth, eating the right foods, wearing clean clothes and we also discussed how animals keep healthy.
Our new PE topic is called Duel, Win and Lose. We will learn all about sportsmanship and how to win and how to lose.
We also found out that we will be performing in the Mrs Sunderland Festival in the Town Hall in Huddersfield. We have some wonderful songs to sing!
Our new DT project will be all about food. At the end of the half term we will be designing and making our own pizzas to cook and take home.
What a wonderful start to the New Year!
Thank you
Miss Watkins, All of Class 3 and Mrs Oddie

Well Done this week.
You have all worked so hard on the play this week. You have learnt your line, practiced the songs and dances, brought your costumes in (which look lovely) and used the props! Wow. It is a tough life being an actor!
In Literacy, we have completed The Iron Man book. The children have really enjoyed this and were very brave when the Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon appears, and very happy when the Iron Man saves the day.
We have had lots of Science work to complete this week! We have learnt about magnets, compasses and forces. We tested magnets to see which the strongest was, using lots and lots of paper clips to help us.
We then created a game using lots of Disney cars to create a maze, game or track. We then used the magnets on the cars to move them around. We learnt how the poles in a magnet are called North and South and that the opposites attract and the same repel. We used this to help move the cars around.
Have a wonderful weekend. Keep safe and we will see you on Monday, ready for our performance.

This week we practised doing the Christmas play, but we can’t tell you what it is called because it is a secret! We moved the tables so that we had our own little stage!
In maths we have been thinking about fractions. Some of us found it a bit hard, but Mrs Watkins is nurturing us like our motto -nurture progress succeed.
Matilda is the book we are reading in class. we all love it some of us find the dad mean and rude. Matilda loves books but her dad doesn’t approve of her reading books and he thinks she should watch more tv. What a great dad!

Welcome to Class 3’s latest blog.
Guess what we have been up to this week? Let’s start with amazing maths. We have learned how master multiplication using the short multiplication method. Lots of mmmm’s!
In literacy, conjunctions were the order of the day. We learned how to use them properly in our sentences. Some of our favourite conjunctions are and, but, so and because.
In geography we have studied earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and wild fires. We have learnt about the different plates all around the earth. We are lucky that most other natural disasters, such as tornados, hurricanes and major earthquakes don’t happen often in our country.
On a cheerier note, we read a fun story – Everything I Know About Pirates - and learned the original meaning of “scaredy-pants”! Do you know where that came from?
In PE we had a fantastic dancey time bopping along to The Greatest Showman. We would have all got maximum marks on Strictly; even from Craig R-H!
Have a wonderful and safe weekend and see you all on Monday.

Well done this week. We have started reading our new class book, which we democratically decided, by voting. We are really enjoying it.
In Literacy, we have been writing letters. You were great a spotting the key features. Your letters as Hogarth, were full of wonderful vocabulary and descriptions. Well done.
In Maths we have moved onto fractions. Your little faces looked so worried on Monday morning, but by lunchtime you were loving our fractions work! Well done.
Our Natural Disasters topic in Geography has begun with our work on volcanoes. You created some diagrams of how the inside of a volcano looks. These were clear and well labelled.
Friday brought lots of spots to Netherthong! We had spotty faces, spotty t-shirts, spotty tights, spotty ears! You name it we had spots. We also designed our own Pudsey Bears. Well done for raising lots of ,money for Children in Need.
Have a wonderful weekend. Keep safe and see you on Monday.
