As part of our learning for Mental Health Week, today Year 3 were lucky enough to have Kim come in from a company called 'Butterfly Mind'.  The company is based on mental health and support us to progress from a wriggly caterpillar and then flourish in a beautiful butterfly, by being kind to our mind.  Thank you Kim for coming in and for giving us some strategies for staying calm, when things get tough.

This morning, year 5 were enlisted to be mini-teachers to year 3. Year 5 used their knowledge of column multiplication of a 1 digit number multiplied by a 2 digit number to teach and support the year 3s in their learning. The year 3s were also given an extra challenge with the year 5's word problem questions.  It was lovely to see the children helping each other out and working together!

Maths Homework- Year 3 Fluency with doubling- Increase the fluency of your mental maths.  This term we are looking at the relationships between timetables and how we can use these relationships to help us work out unfamiliar timetables.  For example, we can use the 2 times table to help with the 4 times table and then both of these can help with the 8 times table.  However for this to be successful the children need to develop their doubling arithmetic skills.  Have a go at these doubling games online.  Archery Doubles https://ictgames.com/mobilePage/archeryDoubles/oldcdn.html Hit the button- Doubling https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

All of the Year 3 Staff were blown away with your kindness and generosity this week! Your kind words, gifts and cards are very much appreciated. Thank you so much from all the staff in Year 3.  We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year.  We are looking forward to seeing all the children back in January 2025!

 Yesterday, we all attended our annual Christmas Carol Service. We were entertained by a variety of musicians, a poem from our poet laureate and a talk led by Reverend Tasha. Our Year 6's read from The Bible and had written their own prayers to read. This was topped off by some festive carols. Thank you to both Father Simon and Reverend Tasha for hosting us! A special thank you to our photographer!

 3C were extremely excited today as they were lucky enough to have a visit from Father Christmas and his elves!  We started by listening to 'T'was The Night Before Christmas' which was read to us by Nanny Claus and then we sang jingle bells. Next, we went through the enchanted forest to collect a magical wish, before then giving Father Christmas the letters that we had written.  It was magical- thank you to PTFA for organising this for us all!
