Class Collective Worship

On Wednesday, the children put on an amazing job with their collective worship! I was so sorry to not be able to be there but Miss Jackson was really proud of the children for how clearly they spoke, their beautiful singing and the clear message about forgiveness they passed on. Well done to everybody!
World Book Day!

World Book Day was a great success yesterday! Thank you so much for all the effort that went into the brilliant costumes - it really does make a difference when the children are all dressed the part and this year was particularly good! Luckily our very own banana was saved from the grip of Gorilla Routledge, the various Dogmen were on hand to keep order in the classroom and the wizards and witches blended in perfectly amongst the muggles! We had fun reading poetry, reading with friends in the sunshine and using our literary skills all morning!
Stump Cross Caverns!

What a brilliant end to the eek the Year 3s had! From start to finish, the children were engaged and excited about all things fossil, rocks and Stone Age! We had a talk about the history of the caverns first then headed down to see them for ourselves. The stalagmites, stalactites and columns were very impressive - can you remember which one is which, Year 3?! The children loved thinking up new names for the different ones! We even went into a cavern where wolverine bones were once found and tried out a bed where one of the staff had slept during a 3 month challenge living underground - Oscar reckoned he could cope down there for a full year...but we didn't test that out! After a lovely sunny lunch outside with beautiful views of the Dales, we had the chance to build on our class learning about fossils and do our own fossil dig and ammonite fossil casting. A great day had by all!
Half way through the year!

It's been a busy week as usual in Year 3 with the children completing various end of topic quizzes, tests and pieces of writing and despite the obvious excitement and tiredness for the end of the half term, they have taken their work seriously and tried really hard. (I did have some photos but my iPad is also ready for a half term holiday and is not letting me upload them, sorry!) The children will be ready to relax next week - have a great half term and see you when we get back.
PS - Spelling test at the end of the first week back will be a combination of words the children should know from KS1 and I will upload the new spellings in the first week back, ready for Week 2.
Measuring in Maths
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
The children have worked hard in maths this week - consolidating their learning around length, converting from metres to centimetres and millimetres as well as learning about what perimeter is. Their addition and subtraction skills are developing to help them with this, as well as their times tables. In Celebration Assembly, we found out that 10 of our class are now completing TTRS questions in under a second!! Incredible! Miss Jackson and I need to get our skates on to catch up!! Keep up the practice too, Year 3 - every little helps!
