Congratulations to all of the girls in Year 3 who successfully completed the 8 week BEAM programme, focusing on building confidence, friendships and transitions.  Year 3 have been busy in their Maths lessons exploring Measures. They used metre sticks, rulers and tape measures to find the length, width and height of many objects (and people) in Year 3. 'Year 3 are thrilled to embark on the ‘Roots of Empathy’ journey. It’s a programme that supports children to reflect on their feelings and develop empathy for others by coaching pupils to connect with a baby.
We will be working with a lovely baby and his mum. They will be visiting us once every three week for the next few months. We cannot wait to watch him grow and learn from him. Year 3 have been collecting food donations to support those most in need in our local communities. They have made posters and spoken to each class to advertise their project. The food donations have been taken to St Mary's Church who will ensure they are passed to local foodbanks. In Literacy we started the Spring term with the book “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”. We introduced the idea of how people react when people see a rat in the streets. The children reacted in their own way, then they wrote down the reaction.
In November, Year 3 went to visit the Mudchute Farm Park. First, the children learned how we bake bread. The staff member handed out the materials and instructed the children how to follow the steps to make bread. The same followed on how to make butter using crème fraiche. Then, the children tasted the result of their learning. Finally, the children walked around the farm to see the different animals. They were really excited to see animals from other countries, such as llamas.
We enjoyed a lovely walk through the park on the way to the Library, looking out for Autumn colours and listening to the wildlife. Once we arrived at the Library, we enjoyed some stories from the Librarian, before reading our own books. Every child brought a favourite book back to school and we hope that our families use the application forms to join the Library and visit regularly. Year 3 visited the construction site as developers create a new playground in Lewisham Park for the whole community to enjoy. The children learned about the designs for the playground and how fundraising has enabled this amazing new space for children to enjoy. We have built our confidence in making and ordering 3 digit numbers. Today, we used Hundreds, Tens and Ones counters to find 100, 10 and 1 more than a given number. We use physical resources to help us draw pictures and then ultimately to write and solve number problems. The children enjoyed a visit to St Mary's Church to enjoy four different prayerful activities. |
