Year 3 have enjoyed learning about earth day and have shared fabulous ideas on how we can all help save the earth. They used the computer to create posters and are using their science knowledge of plants to explain how we needs to plant trees for oxygen.
Faye said that she was going to pick up litter on Gorsehall to help the earth. Amelia wanted to plant more trees.

In our class we have 4 families with electric cars. By 2030, all cars could be electric so year 3 by then will be old enough to drive!!!!

How can we all help save the earth?

The facts for week commencing 19th April are   2 x 7 = 14   and   3 x 9 = 27

Can you learn these, together with all the associated facts?  Star points will be given if you can answer any teacher that asks you this week! 

Attached is the homework menu for this half term. I cannot wait to see all the fantastic things you do in your home learning. Don't forget to send them in via Seesaw. Who is going to earn a bronze, silver or gold medal this half term?

Our new topic in Summer 1 is 'Hot or Cold?' where we will be learning about hot and cold places around the world. We have lots to look forward to including meeting a South Pole Explorer, trying lots of tropical fruit and a postcard from a lost penguin. For more information about the topic, see the document below. 

We have had lots of fun learning about plants this half term. We planted our own runner beans and they grew really tall! We were so impressed when we could see the roots in the soil and when we measured our plant each week to see if it had grown. We enjoyed exploring the school grounds looking for different types of flowers and spotting evergreen and deciduous trees.

Year 1 and 2 had an Easter parade to show their fantastic entries to the Easter bonnnet and Easter egg competition. Well done to everyone who took part, it was so hard for us to choose the winners!

A special well done to our winners Lily, Henry, Dominic and Austin. 

Year 1 have been busy in Spring term doing lots of cooking. We have made pancakes, cheese sandwiches, jam sandwiches and Easter nests. We wrote some fantastic instructions to explain how we had made them. 

Summer 1 we will focus on the story of The Iron Man, linking to robots and Geography- where could Iron Man travel? We have an exciting legostem workshop booked for May (letter will be out first week back).

We have attached the MTP for this unit. If your child is isolating please see home learning blog with all the details.

For regular homework each week, Year 3 children need to:

Next term our topic question is Skellig: is it a bird or mythical creature?

Please see the attached topic overview with key dates and information on what will be covered in class.

Please remember to post any additional work completed on the Seesaw app. 

We have had such a lovely last day of a very busy half term. We took part In an Easter parade with our amazing bonnets and had a very special visitor arrive at school the one and only Easter bunny!
