Year 3 DT Day (23rd) – Bring a bottle

Dear year 3 parents and guardians

As part of our design and technology focus this term, we have been evaluating torches. With a great link to the electricity topic from last half term, we are planning to spend a day building torches focussing on building circuits and designing a sturdy case.

We have been able to secure funding for all children to make a circuit within school. However, we need your help with the case. After thorough evaluation, we have found the best item to use as a case is a 500 ml plastic bottle such as a coke bottle etc.

We would like all children to bring in a 500 ml plastic bottle in for Wednesday 23rd November. This bottle needs to be sturdy so we would advise a bottle designed for carbonated drinks rather than a flimsy water bottle. The bottle needs to be empty and in school by Wednesday 23rd November. Children may bring them in from Monday 21st November and keep them in their tray.

To ensure all pupils can finish the day with their very own torch that they can bring home, we need all pupils to bring in a plastic bottle. If there are any issues, please contact your class teacher.

All the best,

Year 3 team

POSTPONED SEND coffee afternoon tomorrow

Unfortunately we are cancelling the planned coffee afternoon tomorrow due to ill health of the school educational psychologist, who was due to lead the meeting.

We have been able to book a new date for the meeting later in the month. Julie will be leading  the meeting on emotion coaching on Monday 28th November at 1.30pm. 

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and look forward to seeing you on 28th.

Lost Water Bottle

Dear Parents and Carers,

A child in Y3 has lost their orange and black Nike water bottle. Please could you check at home to see if it has accidently been picked up?

If found, please return to the office or any of the Year 3 team. 😊

Thank you for your continuing support,

The Year 3 Team

Year 3 Homework

Dear Parents and Carers,

As per previous messages, Year 3 children should, by now, have handed in their homework books. Please ensure that children have done so by tomorrow, to ensure they receive house points for work completed. Homework handed in after this date will receive marks, but no house points.

Thank you for your support,

The Year 3 Team.

Year 3 PE next half term

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a reminder that for the next half term, Year 3 will NOT be swimming, as per rotation of year groups, but will be doing 2 x PE lessons each week instead.

Therefore, please ensure your child brings their PE kit on a Monday to leave in school all week. This allows for maximum flexibility with regards to PE lesson times, which can sometimes change at short notice due to timetabling issues. PE kit can then be taken home again at the end of Friday, for washing.

PE kit should include long jogging bottoms and a sweater for occasions where PE takes place outside, as well as shorts, house-coloured t-shirt and trainers.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Year 3 Pet Day reply slips needed

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please could we remind all parents that for your child to to be fully involved on Pet Day, we need to gain your consent for your children to be around pets, especially dogs and cats, with regard to allergies etc.

Therefore, please return your completed reply slip ASAP to your class teacher, noting any allergies, if you have not already done so.

If permission slips are not received, your child will take part in other activities instead.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

 

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.
