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,

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.

Year 3 Egyptian Day

Wow! What a great day was had by children and teachers – children enjoyed taking part in lots of activities in the afternoon and looked fabulous. Thank you all for making the time to create / obtain their costumes – it really added to the day.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team

Year 3 Egyptian Day tomorrow (Wednesday 14th January)

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Egyptian Day for Year 3. This exciting event will be in the school hall, with ‘The History Man’, Mr David Cadle, who has been doing this for many years now. We will be learning about Ancient Egyptian history and culture, as well as taking part in Ancient Egyptian Drawing, Writing, dressing up, Games and Arts & Crafts.

Children can come dressed like an Ancient Egyptian, with homemade or bought costumes, and have been reminded today about this, and in the week preceding this one. For ideas, please google ‘Homemade Ancient Egyptian costumes’ or something similar.

Finally, as there is still a small, but significant number of children whose parents are yet to sign up, please ensure that you check you have seen the information about the day on ParentPay and sign to give permission for your child to take part in the day.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team

Year 3 Trip tomorrow Wednesday 5th November

Dear Parents and Carers,

On Wednesday 5th November, we will be visiting the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms, as part of our History topic ‘Stone Age to Iron Age’. We aim to leave school at 9:00 am and will return to school by the end of the school day 3:00/3:15pm. This will be a fantastic experience for the children. Children will need to wear / bring the following things:

  • bring packed lunch and drink
  • wear a waterproof / winter coat and sturdy outdoor shoes
  • Permission – given on ParentPay – most have already done this but still a few ‘stragglers!

Any children who are in receipt of free school meals will have a meal provided for them from our school kitchen, if one has been requested last term (children were asked during the last week of the first half term).

If you would like any more information on the trip please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher.

Thank you for your support,

The Year 3 Team
