The Visit to The Matthew

Well what a fantastic ending to a brilliant term.

We all had thumbs up on Friday as we all enjoyed our Topic and we all

discussed all the highlights of the term. We are looking forward to

sharing our celebration assembly with you next term.

Our trip to the Matthew was well worth waiting for.

The weather was perfect and so we set off sailing down the harbour.

We sang our sea shanties to say thank you to the sailors on board.

We all learnt how John Cabot sailed the ship to Newfoundland with

twenty men on board. We were shown how to steer the ship and how to

navigate. We had a fantastic time, although we had one seasick sailor!

Well done Year 3 you behaved like real sailors!

We had a wonderful week this week.

Rachel came from Sainsbury to teach us Hip Hop Street Dancing.

We did some fantastic moves and did a brilliant dance to Lady Gaga!

And FREEZE!

And do the Snake!

Trying out some groovy moves!

Wow!

In Numeracy we did lots of measuring in the

classroom and learnt how to measure

accurately using a ruler.

In PE we played ball games and tag - tail.

We played games in the playground for

our Golden Time.

On Friday Celso Pacco visited our school

and he told us a story about Kuanga lu

and the King who didn't treat the children

well in his Kingdom, but there was

a happy ending!

We really enjoyed the story and the music.

In assembly the Vicar came and talked about

Harvest and Celso Pacco played some music.

We drew a pizza and the vicar told us how

many miles the ingredients for a pizza

made to get to our table.

All in all a fantastic week!

8th October 2010

We have had a great History week this week.

On Friday we all had a go at our maths badges as we had been practising compliment numbers to ten and twenty and finding facts in the 2,4,5 and 10 times tables all week.

We learnt about life in Bristol in the 15th century and we found five facts about John Cabot and the Matthew and presented them on our ships. We all celebrated how well we worked and what we could do better next time!

In Literacy we worked with our partners using the Myth cards to create our own Myths. We had to choose: a character, an object and a monster.

We then worked in our groups to tell a story together. We are now writing our stories using the cards.

Our Autumn Art Gallery - Beautiful work!

Working with our partners to create a Myth.

We all designed a Logo for the Gore's Marsh Mosaic Competition.

They all looked brilliant - I wouldn't like to choose the best one!

In recorders we discussed the pause symbol, four beats in a bar and the treble clef, four beats in a bar and read the music for the notes A and B.

In French we learnt how to say the French for our family and did a family tree in French.

It was lovely to see so many parents visiting the classroom on Thursday morning.

We always look forward to your visits!

Have a good weekend.
