Year 3 Parent’s Workshop Sessions at Beech’s Base

Beech’s Base hosted Parent Workshops for Year 3 families 🙂 It was great to see the children interacting with their adults and having fun!

The activities included making stick dolls, writing poems, creating concoctions in the Science lab, making bird feeders and planting acorns.

Thanks very much for coming along and I hope you enjoyed it.

Year 3 Reading Diaries advice for parents

Dear Parents / Carers,

Over the past few days we have received several queries about how to fill in your child’s reading diary when you listen to them read – especially the comments sections. Attached are several documents which should help with this.

Reading-Diary-Comments pdf

Ideally, children in Year 3 should be heard reading aloud every day, but we hope for at least 3 entries per week by an adult from home, to encourage reading for pleasure, fluency, expression, decoding text, and developing vocabulary and confidence when reading aloud. When an adult fills in a child’s Reading Diary with the book details and makes a comment / signs the diary, children are then rewarded in school with house points.

Please contact any of the Year 3 teachers if you have any questions about children reading in Year 3.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

3B at Beech’s Base

3B have had their first visit to Beech’s Base … I hope they really enjoyed their day.

We had a Stone Age theme so began with reading Cave Baby. The children then recreated mud paint using mud and natural colourings such as Beetroot to create masterpieces! We also made Blackberry Jam over the fire and used our archaeological skills to dig for tally stones to formulate 3 digit numbers to name a few activities 🙂

We also took some cuttings and replanted some strawberry plants

Thanks for a wonderful day 3B

Esme and Piper visit London!

Esme and Piper visited London over the weekend, saw the queue and sent these photos. The visit was fab, and they learned a great deal about the events of the day:

A very thought-provoking visit!

NSPCC PANTS Campaign

This week our Year 3 teachers will be reminding the children about the work they would have covered in Key Stage One using the NSPCC PANTS resources which you can find here: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/support-for-parents/pants-underwear-rule/?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAjwyaWZBhBGEiwACslQo5ytn13LKbHOlJ7AM40GdHj_gntd4N74hNe0okVaO0Wu57zJmegDPhoC6D8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Talk PANTS helps children understand that their body belongs to them, and they should tell someone they trust if anything makes them feel upset or worried.

If you have any queries please do contact myself or your class teacher.
