‘Make your light shine so others will see the good that you do’

Year 3

Welcome to our Year 3 page!

The Year 3 Team:
Mr Lucas and Miss Arundel

Routines:

On a Wednesday we have the JB Sports coaches come and teach our P.E lessons; on these days we come to school in our P.E kit. Our P.E kit should be:

 

  • Plain white t-shirt
  • Black/navy shorts.
  • Trainers or Plimsolls can be worn for PE lessons.
  • Black/Navy tracksuit bottoms for colder weather/outdoor PE.
  • Black/Navy tracksuit top for colder weather/outdoor PE.
  • No Football/Sports shirts

 

 

Home ReadingWe encourage all children to read for 30 minutes at least 5 times a week. This will help them to put their fluency into practice, one of the cornerstones to great reading! If they read for three or four nights a week, they move up the reward ladder in class and earn a token for their house; if they read for five, six or seven nights a week, they move straight to the top of the reward ladder and gain a raffle ticket. On the last day of each big term, Mr Lucas will draw two tokens from the pot and those children will win a £10 book voucher!

Class Reading

Mr Lucas loves to read out loud to the children and tries to do so at the end of every school day!

 

On the first day, the class were given the opportunity to vote for their first read of the year and they chose The Twits by Roald Dahl; the tale of two terrible twits who decide to play a series of disgustingly awful pranks on each other, each more revolting than the last. So far we've had eyeballs in beer, frogs in beds and worms in spaghetti! What on Earth will they do next?

 


 

 

"Let your light shine, so others may see the good that you do."

This term we are shining a light on local born NASA astronaut Michael Foale! Through him, we will be exploring the attitudes and life skills that took him from Louth all the way to the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION! 

 

Jigsaw This is Jigsaw Jino! Jino will support us this year during our Jigsaw lessons and ensure we are following the Jigsaw charter.

 

Our Autumn 1 piece is: Being Me in My World

Wild Woodcraft - Year 3 Trip

 

On Friday 17th November, Year 3 went back in time to spend a day in the Stone Age! We travelled deep into the woods to visit a stone age village. We were taught how to make clothes using animal skin and nettle rope, how to light fires, how to built a shelter to protect us from the cold and even how to prepare animals for eating.
