This week we have been very busy.

One of the displays in class of our pyramids.

On Friday we played Snowman in Golden Time.

We have been working really hard to improve our

handwriting and spellings.

In P.E. we went on the apparatus and developed our

skills balancing and travelling and working together.

We really enjoyed looking at the books about

Egypt and finding out how the Egyptians lived.

We have got very quick at playing SPLAT!

learning all our numbers to twenty.

Tres Bien!

We are looking forward to next week when

we are going to start to make our Egyptian cats.

This week we had ten extra minutes playtime as we had

100% attendance and we also got ten minutes extra

play as we also got the Golden Lunchbox, which

was absolutely brilliant.

Well done Year 3

This week was 'Be Internet Safe Week'

We watched two programmes to help us be safe

and we were very good at the quiz and remembering

everything we had been shown.

This week we have been also working on Friendship

and we had a circle and wrote a compliment letter.

I hope you saw them as they are in your child's bookbag.

Each child writes their name at the bottom of the page and the

paper is passed along. When it stops you write something

good about that person and then fold the paper over what you

have written and the letter is passed around again.

At the end each person gets their letter back and the photos

below are the children reading what everyone thinks of them.

Lots of smiling faces!

We all shared how we felt about what everyone had said.

We also did a friendship banner about a friend

and created a wordle about friendship.

We especially enjoyed our snowball fight which is

about writing something you don't like and writing it

on a piece of paper, screwing it up and having a snowball

fight. This really clears the air!

In Numeracy we have been finding ways to add

compliment numbers to 100. This is a game we

play called Mission Impossible - we write down five

numbers and when the music starts go to another

person and ask them to find your compliment number

and then they give you a compliment number and you

have to find theirs. You then find someone else and try to

get answers toall five numbers before the music stops.

We like playing this game as it helps us to practise

new strategies.

We were all really amazed at the different

ideas we all had to create our Pyramids.

Here are our fantastic

Homework Challenge Pyramids.

Thanks to all the

Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Grandads,

brothers, sisters and aunts and uncles

that worked with their children to make the

Homework Challenge such a success.

Well done!

We also caught up with a few

Christmas holiday

birthdays!

In Literacy we have started reading

The Scarab's Secret - a fantastic

Adventure Mystery.

What a busy week!
