At first we found it difficult but we all showed super stickability and are all confident using these methods. In literacy we have been learning about dialogue and plays, we have been doing lots of drama. We have also learnt how to use speech marks and using other words than said. On Thursday we went to Ashton Park for a gymnastics course, we all had so much fun. On Friday we made molten cup cakes, they smell great and we cant wait to eat them when we get home.

The Mad Hatter's Tea Party Week!

Wonderful Costumes

Thank you to all the parents for supporting us this week!

We began the week designing our pizza toppings and

designing our cake decorations.

We had a very special visit from the company 'Actors',

who performed

Sherbert, Snails and Pinky Fruit.

After the performance year 3 had the chance to ask

the cast some brilliant questions!

Thank you Year 3 and parents.

I have had the best last year of teaching

I could have possibly wished for.

Remember Year 3 -

work hard and play hard!

We also had the treat of a wonderful concert.

I was very proud of Year 3 playing the recorder.

It was also fantastic to see

Alice, Mara, Lara and Ruby

performing. They were brilliant!

This week we also had our open evening and it

was lovely to see the children showing their work to

their parents and choosing something for the profile.

Year 3's new teacher!

Many thanks to the helpers who came in to help us to

get the Mad Hatters' Tea Party under way!

We made pizzas, sandwiches, delicious cakes, sausages on

sticks and pineapple and cheese on sticks!

We decorated our cakes

In the afternoon the parents arrived with

their hats on!

Year 3 did a celebration assembly and then

we had our picnic in the hall.

We all really enjoyed ourselves!

Thank you to all the parents for coming.

This week was money week.

We did our weekly handwriting.

We had our last swim and we were

allowed to olay on the floats.

Mrs. Christmas' group are

ready to jump

in!

We really enjoyed ourselves.

Our visit was to the bank.

We were shown how everything

works in a bank.

We were all given a goody bag

to take home as well.

We stopped on the way back, just before the

rain came down, to have our picture taken with

one of the gorillas.

Seems like there is more than one gorilla in

our midst or perhaps a few little monkeys!

Next week is our Mad Hatter's Tea party!
