Well, what an amazing first half term we have had. It has been so wonderful getting to know you all. You have all worked so hard and helped to look after each other, and the grown ups! Thank you. Next half term will be an exciting one, with all sorts to look forward to,
You have all enjoyed our topics in History, Art and Science. I can't wait to teach you lots about the next topics!
You have particularly enjoyed our new book - The Iron Man. I know you cannot wait to find out what happens with Hogarth and the Iron Man. Will there be any other characters? Is the iron man a good or bad character? What will happen in the end? Let's wait and find out.
The way that you have tackled everything that I have thrown your way has really impressed me, and I am sure that you will just continue to thrive and learn through out the rest of the year.
Have a wonderful half term holiday, enjoy Halloween and Bonfire Night, and we will see you all back, safe and sound in November.

Do you remember those sunny days around the running track? We are a little colder now so have to run faster to keep warm. We are really enjoying the different ways we have used the track over that last couple of weeks.
In class, we have been writing a story for the 500 words competition. What imaginations the children have, from teachers trying to keep a quiet classroom, all the way to monsters visiting schools. Wonderful!
In maths, we have used the laptops to make 2D shapes on geoboards, which was lots of fun. We have looked at 3D shapes and some of their properties. You are great at the technical vocabulary.
In Science, we have looked at food labels. See if you can spot any food labels at home. We also tested soils to see how they felt, looked and how water travelled through them.
Well, it is a soggy day here, so keep safe everyone and don't get too wet.

This rather large character has appeared in Class 3 this week. The children have been really intrigued by him. Those children that already know about him have been great and have not give any plot lines away! The work that the children have produced so far, has been of a super quality.
In Maths we have been learning our 3 times tables. We have played games, written sums and worked on the computers. We have also held a mini competition with our knowledge of times tables. We will keep working on these.
We got a little bit muddy in Science this week, learning about soils. We tested different soils for their permeability and we use the digital microscope to look closely at the soil. We even found a millipede.
Well done this week everyone.
Have a great weekend next week. Keep safe and have fun.
Miss Watkins and team.

Wow! Class 3 you are really showing me how grown up you are. We have got our rules and routines well in place now, and you are doing a great job at sticking to them.
This week we have learnt some amazing new words in History - Neolithic, Mesolithic and Palaeolithic, to name but a few, we can throw in hunter gatherers and nomadic! Miss Watkins showed us some stone age arrow and spear heads that her mum had discovered too. These were amazing.
In Science, we have learnt some new words too - igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. The children loved investigating the stones and discovered a few facts about them, including how they form and if they can float or not (density).
We have been reading The stone age boy too. They children have really enjoyed reading this and completed some lovely writing all about it.
I am really impressed with you class 3. Keep it up!

Wow! What an amazing first week in Class 3. You have really impressed me with your attitude to school. You all came in well on Tuesday and settled to work quickly. I hope that you have enjoyed your week.
In Literacy, we have completed some super writing about our holidays, created class rules and read lots of books. I was super impressed with your writing, and can't wait to hear all about your 6 weeks.
In Maths, we have been looking at number bonds and partitioning numbers. Again you astounded me with your maths work - your presentation and knowledge was impressive!
I hope that you have a great weekend and we will see you for another great week on Monday.
