Shadows
admin on: Class 3
Today we have been looking at shadows. We have been trying to investigate what happens to the shadow when we move the torch (source of light) further back.
We found out that the shadow gets bigger.
We also had lots of fun playing in the shadows of the fancy hall lights!

Hello again!
The children have been working hard this week to make lots of Christmas crackers and also magical reindeer dust for our Christmas stall. Please do come and visit the stall at the fair! If you are happy to let your child come and help on the stall at the fair please do let me know- one or two enthusiastic helpers would be great!!
Thanks so much

Performance costumes
admin on: Class 3
Dear All,
The children have all been informed of the costumes we would like them to wear for our Christmas performance. The details of these have been written (by the children) in the homework section of their reading diaries. In many cases this simply involves wearing a particular colour. Please do come and speak to me if you have any difficulty at all or wish to discuss your child's costume. We do have a number of costumes available in school and will obviously provide these wherever we can. Please do try and avoid buying costumes as we don't want you to be out of pocket. Any problems, please just come and see us (costumes are very flexible).
The children have been practising so well and are very much looking forwards to presenting their 'show' to you!
Please continue to help them practise their lines and also the words of the songs.
Thanks so much
Mrs Matthews

We are now moving onto focusing on 'FRACTIONS' in Maths this week but please do continue to encourage your child to practise reading the time to the nearest minute; we have worked so hard on this in class and it would be a shame for the children to lose their skills!! Please also continue working on the 3, 4 and 8 times tables and practising lines for the Christmas performance (it's going to be a lovely show we hope you'll enjoy as much as us!)
Thanks so much
Mrs Matthews
