Spelling: Vowel Suffix ‘ly’

In Year Three we learn our spellings every day in lessons ready to be tested on that Friday. We will then send home a sheet of spellings from the test with the words that they spelt wrong highlight in pink for them to keep practising.  The sheet is in the home learning book.

However, If they scored 15/15 on the recent spelling test, they can use the dictionary to find trickier words ending in ‘ly’ for their home  spellings this week such as ethically.

Times Tables:  We have a times tables test every Monday in Year Three. If there is a times table the children need to practice, we will send them home with a sheet to support them and practice for the next test.

Remember to look at your homework pyramid for more ideas on your topic light and dark.

This week Sigciniwe was really inspired by her light and dark topic and created her own shadow puppet theatre. She wrote a script based on the story ‘The Dark’ By Lemony Snicket and performed it to the class with the puppets she had also made and torches.

What will inspire you this week Year Three?

Year Three’s wonderful explanation texts on how a dinosaur ‘really works’ have been displayed in Waterlooville library. If you have time in the half term, please pop upstairs into the children’s section to admire all of their fantastic writing. The display will be in the library until the end of November.

Well done Year Three!

Year Three had  a fantastic Friday experiencing how to be a Celt!

We went onto the playground and made cave paintings, we ventured into the wooded area and built round houses too out of mud and sticks. In the afternoon we tried weaving, jewellery making and even made secret codes out of ancient Runes!

Thank you for providing the children with fantastic costumes, they really enjoyed themselves.

The first week has come to an end in Year Three and we have really enjoyed being back together again. Children have now been provided with their homework diaries to record their homework in and their work book. Their new Stone Age to the Iron Age homework pyramid has been stuck into the front of these too.

We will be kicking off next week with our trips to Butser Ancient farm- 3ST will be going on Monday and 3SH will be going on Tuesday. Please ensure children are provided with a packed lunch and water bottle for the day. The site is predominantly outside so please provide the children with appropriate clothing for the weather e.g wellies, trainers, rain coats, sun hats (too optimistic!) If you are yet to return your slip PLEASE may these be returned by Monday morning at the latest.  Butser is a fantastic venue for us to have a hands on experience of what it was like to live in the Stone Age to the Iron age period of time.

Look out for next weeks post of photos of us learning at Butser.

A big congratulations to all of our lovely Year Three’s taking their first Holy communion in various churches over these last few weeks. It is such a special time for you all and we have loved looking at your pictures and wonderful presents- please continue to share them.

Mrs Stewart thought you were very smartly dressed and really enjoyed sharing your first Holy Communion with some of you on Saturday at Sacred Heart, Waterlooville. Miss Shaw is looking forward to seeing the rest of you on the 18th July at Scared Heart on your special day.

Last Monday, we were lucky enough to go to Staunton country park orienteering! There were a few children in Year Three that got to go in the afternoon.

When we got there in our mini bus we sat on the grass and we got told what to do.

We got a map for our group so we know where we were going. It was super hard, luckily we had a grown up to help us, we had Mrs Spicer for 3s and Mrs Moore for 3st.

It  was an amazing day,   we had lots of  fun there. We were 4 minutes late because someone was too slow (Harriet) but we got 143 points in the end. We were 4th, we didn’t get a medal but we got a certificate in golden leaf assembly.

A big welcome back to all of our lovely Year Three’s. We hope you have all had a fun yet restful half term.

We also need to welcome back someone new to our Year Three team – Mrs Stewart! Here are some pictures of her wonderful wedding day- well done Year Three for keeping the presents a secret!

A big well done to ever member of 3S for their wonderful class assembly. They all worked so hard learning their lines off by heart and the words to be our guest.

Thank you to all the parents that came and celebrated the children’s learning with us! We really hope you enjoyed it 🙂

…………. A DRAGON!

In Year Three we been writing about how to trap a dragon so that we can train it.

Mrs D came and saw us today with a real DRAGON! His name was Rango. We had to be really quiet (which wasn’t easy) so that we didn’t spook him. He had really sharp claws that hooked into Mrs D’s jumper and his skin camouflaged with sand and bark. She even had a pot of his skin which had been shed. He was surprisingly smooth considering the amount of spikes all over his back.

Thank you Mrs D for letting us meet a real life dragon! We have had such an exciting week in Year Three, I wonder what will be next…

A Huge well done to everyone in Year Three- you all managed to create a delicious three course healthy meal for all of your family.

The children worked ALL day preparing the healthy three courses, learning new skills along the way- such as the bridge method for safely cutting and chopping. We hope to have inspired more budding chefs for the future.

Thank you to all of the adults who attended/ helped set up and tidy up the event.

We really hope both the children and adults had as much fun participating in the meal as the teachers.

We wanted to share some pictures of the day with you- Great job Year Three!

More pictures to follow!

Year Three Team!!
