Rock on!

Next Week –

Homework  due in: Monday 22ndEnglish and Maths. Spelling Test.

Stars of the Week – As we were out of school on Friday, the Year 3 Stars of the week will be announced during an assembly next week. Watch this space!

Friday 26th – European Day of Languages 2014. This year we will be focusing on a country where French is an official language. The chosen country for each class is yet to be revealed! We will spend the afternoon learning about the country and speaking some French, of course!

A HUGE well done to everyone in Year 3 for the fantastic musical instruments! We are very impressed with your creativity and the effort you have put in to making them. We are so proud to have some great examples on display in the main hall. We just wish there was room for all of them!

Our trip to the Barking Outdoor Learning Centre on Friday was certainly a success! Thank you to all of the Year 3 children for your sensible behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the day. Also, a big thank you to the parent helpers who accompanied us on the trip, your help was very much appreciated and we hope you enjoyed it. And weren’t we lucky with the unexpected blast of sunshine!

The day consisted of a rock hunt, analysing different types of soil and some very messy artwork! Here are some photos from the day:













Year 3 – can you remember all the rock names and types that we found on the rock hunt? We’ll be looking at rocks much more over the coming weeks so any knowledge you have gained will come in very useful!

On another note, in English next week, we will be starting our new unit looking at ‘recounts’ (newspaper reports, diary entries etc.) Please spend some time having a look at newspaper reports at home so you get an idea of how they are written and how they are presented. Are they written in the present or past tense? In maths, we will be working on addition and subtraction. If you fancy a practice at home, have a go at adding numbers together in your head without writing anything down!

See you all on Monday.
