Year 3

Class Wish for 2019-20

To always be honest and loving, giving 100% in all that we do.

Welcome to Year 3.

Ms. Coleman, Mrs Barnett and Dr Gould are really looking forward to working with you all.

The children will have PE on Mondays and will be going swimming in November.

Swimming - Next two weeks

Reminder - Year 3 and 4 will be going swimming every day, for two weeks, from Monday 11th to Friday 22nd November. The children will be swimming during the middle of the day at the University of Birmingham Swimming baths. The children will need a one piece swimming costume (for the girls), trunks (for the boys - not baggy shorts), a towel and some goggles. We will be travelling on the coach both ways. 

Children in Need - Friday 15th November

Here are some pictures from our annual Children in Need day. This year we were asked to dress up in 'wacky clothes' for the day. A great time was had by all.

Forest School

Every Thursday until 12th December Year 3 will be doing forest school. Please send in wellington boots and old, warm clothing on a Thursday morning. The sessions start from Thursday 14th November.

Homework 

Just a reminder that homework should be being completed and the book sent into school whenever a piece needs marking. Well done to you all as I can see a lot of hard work is being completed.

Attendance Winners

Well done to the whole of Year 3 for being the best class for attendance across the whole of KS2 for the autumn term. We got 96.7% as a class. It shows how dedicated you all are to your learning.

Over the past seven weeks the children have been looking at lines in their Art topic. We have been printing our flower designs and using them to create our calendars for 2020.

Well done to Summer for her perseverance and dedication in all her school work. Her hard work is paying off as she is making excellent progress in everything she does. 

Congratulations to Amelia for being Star of the Week for Friday 8th November. Her enthusiasm for work is exceptional. Well done for all the hard work in Maths too; especially in your super challenges.

Congratulations to Grace for being Star of the Week for Friday 27th September. She has been really trying hard in all her lessons and her story on 'Goldilocks and the Three Lions' was really imaginative. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations to Joseph for being Star of the Week for Friday 20th September.In our class we have been looking at different still life paintings and Joseph produced a super interpretation of the Andy Walhol 'Marmite' picture. Well done Joseph!

On Wednesday 25th September we had a visit to Our Rose and Lima Church to look at the beautiful building and all the religious symbols.

Afterwards we had a great role play session on what democracy is as part of our topic on Ancient Greece.

Year 3 Class Trip

On Thursday 12th September, Year 3 went to Rydon Organic Gardens in Coventry. The children  spent the day doing a creature trail, work on photosynthesis, soil investigations, looking at the effects of light on plants, seed dispersal and using the vegetable garden to design a seasonal meal. The weather was sunny and the gardens were stunning. The staff all commented on the excellent behaviour of the children. A great day was had by all.

Holy Communion Meeting with Father Gary for Parents and Children.

Date - This Wednesday,  23rd October 9am (school hall)

Reminder - there is a meeting, that Father Gary will be holding, for the children and parents who are preparing for the sacraments. The meeting will take place this Wednesday (23/10/19) at 9am in the school hall. Father is expecting full attendance of any parent who has a child who is intending to make their First Holy Communion in 2020.

A letter was sent home with the Communion 2020 children (last week 15.10.19) and the reply slip should have been returned to the office. If you are seeking this important sacrament but have had no letter, please mention to either myself or the school office before the meeting, this Wednesday.

If your child is not making their Holy Communion, you don't need to attend.
