We hope that you and your children have had a very enjoyable Christmas break and a great start to the New Year.

The Spring term is always a busy time for children in Year 3, with lots of new learning taking place as well as consolidating previously learnt skills. As mathematicians, children will consolidate their knowledge of multiplication and division, as well as practising their 3, 4, 6 and 8 times tables. Additional support at home with these would be very much appreciated. As writers, children will learn a variety of techniques to engage the reader, such as sentence openers, expanded noun phrases and a range of conjunctions.

In our Science lessons, we will be completing our unit on Animals including Humans and moving on to ‘Forces and Magnets’. We are looking forward to all of the exciting experiments that are included in this topic!

Our thematic topic this term is entitled “Gods and Gladiators”. As Geographers and Historians, we will learn about and explore the impact of Roman and Viking invaders on Britain and we will also develop our Computing skills using control software and animation. We will be using our DT, Art and Music skills to recreate events and artefacts from the past!

PE continues to be taught on a Wednesday and Thursday. Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings. In the interest of Health and Safety, no jewellery, including earrings, should be worn on PE days as children will be asked to remove them. Please also ensure that children have the correct PE kit in school at all times; PE kits can be purchased from the school office. We will continue with morning toast up until close of register and should you wish, children can bring a piece of fruit to school for their morning snack.

Children in Year 3 will receive regular homework in their purple books as well as online learning. Details of this will be found in the purple book each week. Spellings will also continue to be given out and tested in school. Your support at home is so valuable with this, and helps your child make super progress – thank you for helping continue their learning at home!

All classes will continue music tuition, alongside their class learning, through visits from the Wolverhampton Music services each week. Instruments will be sanitised before and after use and social distancing is maintained throughout the session.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, I will usually be available at the end of each day. We anticipate a busy and exciting term ahead and we thank you for your continued support.

Class 3 had fun during their French Day. Their favourite part was tasting different food with their families. I don't think many people liked the ratatouille!

Class 3 enjoyed their visit to Wroxeter. They learned about the baths and Elsa was in charge of the Roman coins that we could spend while we were there.

Class 3 have been carefully measuring different volumes in Maths today.

April 2019

Class 3 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Jaguar Land Rover. They were treated to a tour of the factory where they learned how man and machine work together to build the engines. The children had to use their scientific knowledge to test the friction of different surfaces. In the afternoon, the children were put to the test in the Engenious Challenge! The challenge involved building a model of a four cylinder internal combustion engine with moving pistons and crankshaft. Class 3 worked really well in their teams and made us very proud.

To bring an end to our Roman History topic this term, class 3 were lucky enough to visit Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery where they thoroughly enjoyed hands on experience with real Roman artefacts and become real life Romans. This included a number of activities such as dressing up as the Roman's did, marching as Roman soldiers and discovering many different remains that have been found in Britain to come to their own conclusion about how they lived their lives. Thank you Class 3 for a wonderful day of joy and representing our school so beautifully!

Year 3 gave an excellent performance to the whole school and a full house of family, that included playing of the ukulele and some fabulous singing!

Baritones Concert

After 7 weeks of learning to play the Cornet and Baritone, class 3 enjoyed  their music concert to mark the end of their lessons. They have thoroughly enjoyed learning to play these brass instruments and look forward to begin playing the Djembe drum next term. Thanks to all parents who joined us for this musical morning. 

Chinese New Year Celebrations

February 2018

To celebrate Chinese New Year, Class 3 spent the afternoon creating Chinese drums with paper plates, lolly sticks, string and beads before decorating them with Chinese symbols. They worked together to thread the beads which was particularly hard but made some fantastic piece of art and music.
