This week we practised doing the Christmas play, but we can’t tell you what it is called because it is a secret! We moved the tables so that we had our own little stage!
In maths we have been thinking about fractions. Some of us found it a bit hard, but Mrs Watkins is nurturing us like our motto -nurture progress succeed.
Matilda is the book we are reading in class. we all love it some of us find the dad mean and rude. Matilda loves books but her dad doesn’t approve of her reading books and he thinks she should watch more tv. What a great dad!

Year 3 Blog
In Literacy this week we watched a clip from the 1970s program Jamie and the Magic Torch. We looked at the image first and watch the introduction. We then wrote a new adventure for Jamie and Wordsworth. We then watched the program and we thought it was great. Everyone had different ideas about where Jamie could be with his dog Wordsworth. He went to different islands, met giants and ate chocolate.
In Maths this week we have investigated different kinds of problems looking at measurement, adding, subtracting, division and multiplication. Some of the problems have been very challenging.
Science has been very exciting this week as we have investigated how magnets work to pull the forces of different metals. We drew race tracks for cars and used magnets to move the cars along. We used plastic cups, wool, a paper clip to create an environment for crystals to grow. We poured boiling water into the cups with salt to mix a solution called sodium chloride which could react with the metal of the paper clip to form crystals.
In PE we practised for our sports day, we learnt how to throw the javelin and shot put safely. We took part in an obstacle race and the relay. It was great fun! We hope the real sports day will be just as fun!
We have been learning some new tunes in music and playing them with our recorders. Gypsy Dance, Old MacDonald and Hot Cross Buns, we are very proud of our orchestra.
Our favourite dinner this week has been Mac and Cheese!
We hope to see you at the school fayre tomorrow.

Well it has been another great, if a little busy week here in Class 3 at Netherthong Primary School.
As always, you have made me really proud of you. The resilience that you have shown in class has been great - from sewing to yoga!
In Maths we have been revisiting addition and subtraction. You are so good at this these days!
In Literacy we have been learning about fronted adverbials, whilst learning about puffins.
As for our DT work! Wow, after a slightly knotty start from some of you, you have all taken onboard advice and help. The embroidery that you are working on is amazing! We have patterns, beautiful colours and wonderful images sewn into our fabric. I can't wait to see the final pieces.
Have a wonderful weekend one and all.
Miss Watkins and team.

Music, Music and little more Music!
This week we have enjoyed so many different aspects of our learning.
In Maths this week, we looked at statistics! We were collecting lots of data and using this to create bar charts, pictograms and other graphs to compare the different data. We also wrote a lot of questions that we could use to gather information from the graphs.
In DT we looked at samplers and different sewing techniques. A range of threads and stitches can be used and explored. We have designed a sampler of our own.
On Tuesday we walked to the Civic Hall in Holmfirth to experience a rock band – Dead Wax and a more traditional form of Jazz – a swing band. The group Big Easy came back to school with us for a workshop. We were all really resilient as it was a long walk and it was pouring down. The Big Easy then came into school and sang to us and helped us do a call and response session. We had a little go in music and we tried improvisation in music on our recorders.
In Literacy this week, we are continuing to read the Accidental Prime Minister. We are writing descriptive diary entries about our own adventure of becoming the prime minister. We pretended to be Joe.
In PE we had our PE coach and we really impressed her with how much we had improved. We also had a sneaky session with the yoga coach. It was very similar to the ones we had last year with some new poses and positions. It was really good fun!
Our favourite dinner this week was the mac and cheese.
