I am so impressed with Class 3’s writing this week. We have finally finished our amazing pieces of instruction writing and our Marvellous Medicine’s are complete. If you need a recipe for a silly sibling or a grumpy granny Class 3 is the place to call into!

In Maths the year 3s have completed their unit on length and perimeter and the Year 4s have begun to look at fractions.

This week we have started our new English Unit by exploring the story of George’s Marvellous Medicine. We have looked at the character of Grandma and begun to write a character description about her. We enjoyed watching a section of the story read to us on you tube. Have a watch yourself. Can you use expression like this?

A massive well done to everyone who went swimming this week – we all had a fab time and I was very impressed with some of our amazing swimming!

This week’s shout out go to our English Unit – We have been working hard on writing letters linked to the story of Egyptian Cinderella. It has been great to use a text we knew really well to write some amazing letters. The children loved the opportunity to write them up on ‘old fashioned’ paper afterwards! We were even allowed to use our pens!!!

As a treat, have one last watch of Egyptain Cinderella.

Thank you to those who came to our championing writing – we hope you enjoyed seeing our writing in action!!

Firstly, a massive welcome back to 2025.

Class 3 have made a great start to the year. Our highlights have to be our English and History work. This week we have started a new writing journey throughout school. I have been so impressed with Class 3’s attitude to their work – remember to ask them about what we have been doing. On Friday, we had lots of clues and items to explore, linked to our new text. As you can see below, the children made some great inferences and we can’t wait to get started with our work linked to the story.

We were also impressed with the children’s work in History this week. To start our new unit, we began by recapping our learning from last term. We were so impressed with how much the children had remembered.

Class Targets

This week, our class challenge is to increase our reading percentage. As discussed in the school newsletter this week, reading is so, so, so important. We always see who has read 3 times on a Friday – please support your child in making sure they do not let their year group down. I wonder if the year 3s will beat year 4 this week?
