It's been a busy week!

Dear year 3 parents,

Year 3 have had a very creative couple of weeks!

At the beginning of the week, the children designed and made their own Ancient Egyptian cartouches (name plates), writing in hieroglyphics. They are really looking forward to painting them next week once they are fully dry.

The children also enjoyed our science day today where they learnt all about fossils and Mary Anning and even made their own fossils which we plan to excavate next week.

 We have started rehearsing our Christmas songs for the Grandparents Tea Party on Tuesday 12th December. We would really appreciate your support in helping your children learn the words to the songs below. They have also been sent home with one line to learn ('What Christmas means to me'). We would like the children to know their lines by heart by Thursday next week. Loud, clear voices please!

Please note, although the children will be in school uniform, it would be nice for the children to wear something a little festive to the party- a Christmassy hair band, a little tinsel or other small festive accessory would be great. The children can wear these to school on the 12th.

P.E Lessons

We are outside once a week and the weather has definitely changed and become cold. Please can you ensure your child has suitably warm clothes for P.E including socks! (Quite a few girls wear trainers and no socks) Joggers, sweatshirt, gloves and a beany hat are advisable. Thank you it makes lessons so much easier if the children are warm to start with.

Away in a manger

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head

The stars in the night sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my bedside
'Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me, I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven
To live with Thee there

Come and join the celebration

Come and join the celebration

It’s a very special day

Come and share our jubilation

There’s a new King born today

See the shepherds

Hurry down to Bethlehem

Gaze in wonder

At the son of God who lay before them

Chorus

Wise men journey

Led to worship by a star

Kneel in homage

Bringing precious gifts from lands afar, So

Chorus

God is with us

Round the world the message bring

He is with us

Welcome all the bells on earth are peeling

Chorus
