Wow! What an amazing first week in Class 3. You have really impressed me with your attitude to school. You all came in well on Tuesday and settled to work quickly. I hope that you have enjoyed your week.
In Literacy, we have completed some super writing about ourselves, created class rules and read lots of books. I was super impressed with your writing, and can't wait to hear all about you and what you like to do.
In Maths, we have been looking at number bonds and partitioning numbers. Again you astounded me with your maths work - your presentation and knowledge was impressive!
I hope that you have a great weekend and we will see you for another great week on Monday.

Well, another fantastic week in Class 3.
We have been carrying on with Hugo Cabret. It is very dramatic! We have also been reading The Day I Fell into a Fairy-tale. We are loving this. It has so many twists and turns in it, we are not sure what is going to happen next!
In Maths, we have been revisiting statistics and data-handling. The children have created pictograms and graphs. They have also answered complicated questions about graphs.
In DT we have begun creating our samplers. They are looking amazing Class 3.
We topped the week off with a wonderful sunny Sports Day. You made us all so proud of you. You ran brilliantly, waited your turn brilliantly, cheered on brilliantly and supported each other brilliantly! One very proud set of teachers at school.
Have a great weekend.

Well another busy week here in Class 3!
We have continued our work all about the wonderful story of Hugo Cabret. We thought about Hugo's personality and what we think he might have been going through. We are also writing another chapter to fit into the book. The children are so enthusiastic about the book.
In Maths we have been revisiting 3D shapes. We have learnt about the properties of the shapes and even used clay to make some. Some children were really brave and tried to make a pentagonal prism.
We have also begun out History and DT projects.
In History we have begun to delve into the past. We particularly looked at the work house that was original on the land that St. Marys is on now. The children learnt about why you might go into a workhouse and what life was like. Very different to today we all decided.
Our DT project is sewing. We are creating some wonderful embroideries. We have had a few knots, but we are learning how to untangle ourselves. We do and keep persevering.
Have a great weekend

What a fantastic week we have had back at school.
We have begun our new topics this week.
In Literacy, we are reading the book - The Inventions of Higo Cabret. It is a wonderful tale of a young boy in Paris in 1931. We will be doing some wonderful art work and descriptive writing based around the book.
In Maths, we are going to be revisiting lots of topics that we have covered over the year. This week we have been looking at 2D shape, identifying acute, obtuse and right angles in irregular 2D shapes.
In Science, we have begun started an investigation to create crystals. Fingers crossed they will have begun growing by Monday. Watch this space.
Our DT work links well with our previous Art topic. We will be creating beautiful embroideries. I can't wait to see what you produce.
We also learn all about the amazing efforts of the soldiers and all people involved in the D-Day landings. What an incredible emotion Newsround. Class 3 you were very respectful and listened, asking wonderful questions.
Have a great weekend Class 3, and see you all next week.

Another amazing week Class 3.
You have all worked hard on our data handling in Maths. We have created bar charts and pictograms. We have solved problems using the information we have gathered.
You looked at the key to see what the pictogram images represent.
In Literacy, we have been working on oracy. The children learnt all about debates and then planned and carried out a debate in the House of Commons (or Class 3's classroom). The Speaker of the House (Miss Watkins) was very impressed with the children as they held their debates in front of the class, answered questions and then voted. You had some very good arguments for and against uniforms and whether museums should be free. The world feels like it might be in safe hands.
We also began our new art topic - weaving. We began today and you were great. You were resilient and managed to begin really well, with barely any knots!
Have a great weekend. Don't forget May Day on Monday, so we will see you on Tuesday.
