Hello,

We would just like to congratulate all of the Year 3 children for their exceptional behaviour and commitment to learning, not only during the final week before the Christmas holidays but throughout the entire Autumn term. They have made us all very proud!

During the last week of term, the children enjoyed drafting and editing their own Winter poems, before performing them to Year One during the last day of school. It was a great opportunity for the children to entertain one another as well as to share comments and feedback on their performances.

In Maths, the children had fun learning about angles and shapes. By the end of the week, they were able to use shape mats as well as videos to help with their creation of 3D shapes from modelling clay (which no doubt have become some lovely tree decorations at home!).

In January, we look forward to introducing the children to their new topic, The Rainforest. If the children have anything they would like to bring to school in January – be it for show and tell or for classroom display – they are more than welcome to do so. Here are some examples…

We hope you all have a lovely, relaxing break.

Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2017,

Miss Honeywell and Mrs Chelu
