Friday Red Nose dressing up

Dear Parents and Carers,

Following several parental enquiries about what to dress up as, we discussed today with the children in assembly about what they could wear on Friday, with a voluntary donation of £1, for NJS’s Red Nose Day.

Children can come dressed as a favourite adult who helps them, gives them words of encouragement, inspires them, etc. It can be literally anyone, and not necessarily someone who is well-known to all (i.e.: doesn’t have to be a famous person – could be a family member). Its up to you how far you go with this idea – remember, the event is about raising awareness of the good work done by Comic Relief charities and, hopefully, raising much-needed funds.

Hopefully that helps,

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team.

Year 3 Swimming reminder for Mondays this half term

Dear Parents,

Just a quick reminder to send your Y3 child with their swimming kits tomorrow (Monday 23rd February) and each Monday this half term.

Also, please ensure your child has their PE kit in school on a Monday, to leave in school all week until Friday. This allows for flexibility with timetabling, as the hall is occasionally not available on allocated PE days, but class teachers may take opportunities to do PE on alternative days, should the opportunity arise.

Thank you for your continued support,

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team.

Year 3 homework projects this half term

Thank you and well done if you have already completed an Egyptian themed piece of homework. Here are some examples of work submitted so far:

Year 3 Waxwork Museum advice for this Wednesday onwards

Dear Parents and Carers,

Hopefully by now, you have already discussed with your child which inspirational figure they are going to dress up as, for the Waxwork Museum day on Thursday 12th February, and shared this via the reply slip on the Waxwork information letter with your child’s class teacher. As of today, there are still several outstanding slips to come in to year 3, particularly in 3B and 3P.

Also, this work will form part of our curricular offer later this week and next week, during English. As teachers, we will have some information for each of your children to use in lessons, about their chosen person, but obviously, we cannot help them if they haven’t chosen who to focus on! In these instances, if we do not receive a reply from you, then we will be choosing with your child someone who they can easily dress up as, and research.

Finally, if you are able to, please source a large piece of card, ideally about 60cm to 100cm max in size, square or rectangular, which they can use to mount their written outcomes on for display on the day of the museum show. This can be stationary quality, or simply cardboard box quality – it’s your decision. (The examples below are rather large…they don’t have to be like this!)

  

As always, please contact your child’s class teacher if you have any questions about this event.

Thank you so much for your support,

The Year 3 Team

Class 3B Shaduf Design & Technology day

Class 3B completed a brilliant day on Monday this week, designing and building an Egyptian Shaduf, as part of their D&T project this term. These are simple, hand-operated machines, used for lifting water from a source (well or river), to irrigate land or fill a higher basin.
