Welcome to Year 3!

This week so far: 

In maths, we have started our new topic on shapes and angles. The children have been learning about the properties of shapes, including their sides, vertices, and angles. They have made a very promising start to this topic and have shown great enthusiasm when exploring and discussing different shapes.

In English, we have finished editing and publishing our Eco Superhero stories, ready to be included in our Year 3 class book. The children have worked incredibly hard throughout the writing process and should be very proud of their final pieces. Today (Friday 19th), I handed out the order forms for families wishing to pre-order a copy of the book. A few children forgot to take their forms home, so these will be handed out again on Monday.

In music, we have continued learning to play the recorder and have been practising "In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle". The children have shown excellent concentration and perseverance as they develop their recorder skills, and it has been lovely to hear their confidence growing each week.

In PE, we have been preparing for Sports Day by completing heats and races. The children have done exceptionally well, showing determination, resilience, and great sportsmanship throughout. It has been wonderful to see them encouraging one another and giving their very best effort in every event.

In history, we have started learning about the Yanomami Tribe of the Amazon Rainforest. The children have been exploring how the Yanomami people live and comparing their daily lives, homes, traditions, and culture with our own lives here in the UK. They have shown great curiosity and asked thoughtful questions as they developed their understanding of different ways of life around the world.

Have a lovely weekend!
