This week we have been doing our writing project working from Traditional Fairy stories. First of all we drew a story map with characters and places on it. I hope the parents who came today enjoyed the games we played. Today Year 3 wrote some very potent spells for the wicked witch. Some examples were - to make you strong, wicked, naughty and to make a rainbow.
We have been partitioning and ordering numbers in maths.
Adding two digit and two digit numbers together and we are going to work on subtraction using a number line and adding on next week. We are learning some songs from Oliver. It is lovely to hear that some of the children are singing them at home!
I hope the weather holds and you have an enjoyable weekend.

Hurrah! Blog working again I hope.
Star of the week Cheeney Sheppard
fantastic artist and mathematician!
We have been researching more about the Victorians through a video about a young girl's life. Year 3 remembered all of it so do ask them about Maggie at school, working as a maid, working in the factory and working as a photographer.
We have taken a photo of the class which copies the photo we found of a Victorian class at Luckwell - hope to get it on the blog!
We have been working hard at our number bonds,
multiplying, partitioning numbers, doubling and halving - anyone wishes to learn some techniques for tables will be happy to show you after school next Thursday.
We have been drawing portraits of ourselves and learning how to draw in proportion ears, noses eyes and a mouth!
We have been looking at circuits in Science.
A very busy week as well as composing our own street seller songs!
In Literacy we have been comparing playscripts and prose and learning the wonderful story Rumplestiltskin.
Have a good weekend and I hope everyone smiles as it's smile day today!

We have had a wonderful start to the school new year.
They all look so smart in their uniforms.
We have written our school contract.
We have created pivtures for our morning verse poem and learnt how to do Euruthmy! Actions using vowel sounds!
We written down what we are looking forward to this year - swimming being the most popular!
We do have a class photo - will be with you as soon as Scott sorts out my blog.
Thank you to parents who supported their children's research into the Victorians - fantastic archives.
Really looking forward to next week.
P.E. is on Monday and Thursday.

Good-bye Year 3
We had a very hectic week, especially as everything needed to be packed in the classroom, ready for Mrs Christmas to take over Year 3 next year. It was lovely seeing her at the Leavers' Concert. Everyone in Year 6 did so well with her guidance.
In our class we all made a book each to leave as a present for next year's class to read. We had such fun writing them and did our best to use all the skills we'd learnt during the year, making them look professional.
We also thought of the changes ahead and how good Year 4 will be.
We had a great time at our Teddy Bears Picnic. So much delicious food to eat - thanks to our mums and dads.
So the it's the last day of Year 3. Time to play with our friends and share a fun day. 'Goodbyes and thank-yous' to everyone who has helped us so much. We made cards for them all.
A short message from me to say a big thank-you to those children who gave me cards and gifts. They were beautiful and very much appreciated. The messages really touched me. Thank-you all very much.
Enjoy a wonderful holiday everyone.

Authors, mysteries and next year!
We have been watching a great video this week. It's really inspired us in our own writing as it's ghostly and creepy, but has great characters too.
We are all busy writing an extended story to leave in the class for next year's Year 3 to enjoy. We're doing our very best writing and producing the covers on the computer so it's like a real published book.
We have a variety of settings - some abroad!!
We're trying to use all we've learnt about writing this year as well as our own imagination. Hope you enjoy them next year Year 2!
Today is Swap Day when we all move up to our new classes for the morning to meet our new teacher and see our new rooms. "It felt different!" said Steven, when he returned.
A message from Mrs Hunt
Dear Children,
I do hope you all have a lovely time in your new class and you're able to continue to be enthusiastic learners in all the years ahead. Good luck to everyone.

Fountain Photographs and Interviews / Egypt Challenge
It seems our fountain project has been discovered by the media.
Kiera here. We had to stand by the fountain and we had to put our hand under the water as it shot up. Just as I did it the wind blew and I got soaked. My photograph was taken any way and I can't wait to see if its used in the TES.
Emma here. I was interviewed by a lady who asked me how the fountain worked. I had to stand by the fountain and try and touch the water as she took my photograph. We also had to jump on the sensors to the water went higher or lower. It was fantastic fun.
We are also thinking of an area of the subject of Ancient Egypt to research and present to the class. We may make a play, a poster, a poem or film as long as it tells the rest of the class about the subject.
Sam B here. As part of our challenge about Egypt I am making a poster about the pyramids. I've done some research to find out how they were built. The got loads of stone and added them in layers in the the shape of a square based pyramid. inside were amazing tunnels leading to a Pharaoh's tomb.
Everyone in Year 3 is excited about tomorrow's fete and the Fountain launch next Wednesday.
