Dear Onyx Class,

Dear Onyx Class Children and Parents,

I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for the gifts, cards and kind words I received this week. I was completely overwhelmed by all the kindness you showed me!

I will miss teaching you all so much, but I know that you will all go far and achieve incredible things!

I will be staying in contact with a few members of staff at Heaver’s – so I am sure I will hear amazing things about you all!

I will miss you!

Mr Perrin

 

Pearl Class – Science

This week the children took part in a science fair and presented their knowledge of forces and magnetism.

Holiday Homework

There will be no set spellings or math work for Year 3 children during the Christmas break. Please do, however, make sure you continue to read every day and record what you have learnt in your reading diary.  We will be checking these as usual upon return in the new year and yellow cards will be handed out if reading has not been kept up.

Wishing you all a fun-filled Christmas break!

The Year 3 Team

 

Sharing our stories with Year 2

Having finished our stories, we decided to hijack Year 2’s English lesson to share our work with them. We had a lot of fun and it was lovely to read our stories to a real audience.

Sharing our stories!

For the last few weeks, year 3 have been writing stories about the short film, The Present.

Today, after lots of hard work, year 3 visited year 2 to share their stories. The children thought their expression and tone and read the stories aloud to the year 2 children.

Well done year 3!

Art

Last week, year 3 were thinking about how different disabilities do not stop people from following their passions. We looked at artists who created amazing pieces of art, despite having disabilities.

We then created art in a variety of way:

Without vision

Without the use of our dominant hand

With our mouths

With our feet
