3P at Beech’s Base 27.09.22

3P 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 🙂

Thanks for a wonderful day 3P

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.

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.

Year 3 Parents/Carers drop off and collection

We hope your children have enjoyed their first two days at NJS: they have been great.

*At drop off and collection it helps to ease congestion if you come through the security gate and out through the side gate by Mrs Pearson’s classroom.

*We appreciate for the first day or two you may want to come into school in the morning to help your child to settle.  Please can we ask that parents/carers now refrain from coming into school as our corridors get very congested.  There will be staff outside to greet the children and take any messages and staff inside to support the children to unpack.  3L and 3B can go straight into their classroom doors and 3P can go straight into the accessible door on the side of the block (they can press the push pad to open this door).

Thank you for your support.
