Hello, and welcome to another weekly Year 3 update! Our guess is that sleep should come fairly easily to your children after the first full week of term. It certainly will for us!

This week, your children have been up to the following:

• In literacy, we’ve been looking at a picture book called I’ll Take You To Mrs Cole by Michael Foreman, and thinking about how to use speech marks. Next week, we’ll be looking at another Michael Foreman book: Dinosaurs And All That Business.
• In maths, everyone has started looking at place value. This work will continue into next week.
• In geography, we learned about where in the world rainforests are found. Ask your children if they can remember any countries that have rainforests in them!
• In art, we started our unit on botanical drawing by trying to break down complicated objects into simple shapes.
• In RE, we considered what we think a soul is. Does one exist? If so, what is it?

Swimming and PE

As well as PE for everyone on Monday, Miss Lunnon’s class is swimming on Tuesday afternoon. They should come to school in uniform and bring swimming kit with them. Mr. Burrows’s class will be doing PE, and so should come to school in PE kit.

Forest Camp

This is just a quick reminder of the Forest Camp groups for over the next few weeks:
