Year 3 English Experts!

Super efforts from Year 3, who were tasked with writing a piece about their choice for a class mascot.

This piece is by Ella – very persuasive!

And these are from a Top Trumps challenge where children had to create a Climate / recycling / environmental character from junk / recycled items.

Well done to Charlotte, who created this:

And super try from her sister, Georgia, who made this:

Great work all of you. Keep trying hard.

Regards,

Mr B

Which apps / software should I let my children use?

Dear Parents,

If, like me, you have struggled at some point to decide which apps your children should or should not access online, or which apps or software are age appropriate, then this handy guide will help. It contains a range of information about most of the popular apps and sites currently used, including Houseparty, Zoom, Netflix Party, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Clash of Clans, Nintendo Switch, plus all the using social media apps.

https://parentzone.org.uk/advice/parent-guides

The site also contains a host of materials designed to address current concerns you may have about online safety. ParentZone also produces a regular newsletter, which is worth signing up for if you would like to keep ahead of current or trending online safety issues.

So give it a go – it really is very informative and useful!

Kind regards,

Mr Butler

Fiction Express – ‘Takeover’ now over!

Dear Parents,

Thank you to all parents who have helped their children to access Fiction Express story ‘Takeover’, over the past five weeks or so, and congratulations to those children in Year 3 who managed to finish the whole book, ‘Takeover’ – you know who you are! (only two children from 3B managed this!). Don’t forget – you can still access the book at any time.

The next book I would like Year 3 to start reading is called ‘The Pampered Prince’ and the first chapter is released next week, on Friday 24th April. Children will then have until Tuesday 21st April, 4pm, to vote for their choice of what happens in the next chapter. Between now and then, why not try one of the other 100 or so books available on Fiction Express?

Please continue to try and read at home during this difficult time – remember, if you’re fed up with not being able to go out:

“That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”

                                                                                                          Jhumpa Lahiri

You could also catch up with Miss Hardy’s online reading via the NJS YouTube channel, with a new book, starting soon! Above all, keep reading!

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Butler
