Class 3 Walk Around Bicton Village

Dear Parents/Carers,

As part of our science work next week we will be going for a walk around Bicton village to see if we can spot different materials and find out what they are being used for.

This will be on Tuesday 19th September. Please can you ensure your child has a coat in school on that day. If you do not wish your child to take part in the walk please let me know by Monday 18th September.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Class 3 Weekly Update

English: We have continued our work on poetry this week and the children have written some poems similar to the ones they have read. They wrote their own ‘Sounds in the evening’ poem where they described all the different sounds they can hear at night time. We have been revising adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and fronted adverbials through this work and the children have been challenged to use these within their writing,

Maths: We have been doing some work on measurement this week. The children have been measuring in mm, cm and m and have done some work on converting these measurements.

Science: This week we have learned about the pollination process and have had a go at describing and ordering the process.

Geography: We have ended our work on settlements by designing our own settlement and creating a map of it. The children were very good at giving reasons for their positions of the different features and including a key on their map.

This week we have spent some time preparing and practising for celebration assembly and the children had a great day on transition day in Class 4.

Just so you are aware, the children have not been given new spellings for next week due to it being the end of term.

As it is the last week of term next week, please could you ensure your child brings a carrier bag to school as throughout the week we will be sending home children’s work from this year.

Thank you! Enjoy your weekend!

Choir – Concord College – 15th June 2017

Thank you for returning your permission slips so promptly, we have now reached our maximum allocated numbers for children and parents.

Parents who have shown interest in attending must arrive before 9.45am, Concord will not allow you to arrive halfway through the performances as it is too distracting for the children on stage.

Class 3 Outdoor Learning

Dear Parents/Carers,

Just a reminder that your child will need to bring a raincoat and wellies (or trainers that they don’t mind getting wet) to school this week. These will need to stay school all week so that your child can take part in our English and Maths lessons outside this week.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Class 3 Outdoor Learning Next Week

Dear Parents/Carers,

Next week we are doing some outdoor learning linked to both our English and Maths work. We are planning to go out whatever the weather so please can your child bring in suitable clothing to school. The weather is set to be quite changeable throughout the week so it would be good if your child could bring clothing suitable for both wet and warm weather – wellies, raincoat, sun hat and sun cream. I have asked the children to bring in their clothing on Monday and leave it in school until Friday. The children still need to wear school uniform each day.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Class 3 Homework – Due in Friday 12th May

This week I have sent home some maths homework relating to column addition. We are due to revise both column addition and subtraction next week so revision at home will definitely help them with our lessons next week.

Below are copies of the homework should your child loose their sheet. They should remember which one they were given.

Sheet 1 – Column Addition using pictures to develop understanding (no carrying involved).

Picture Column addition (no carrying)

Sheet 2 – Column Addition with numbers (no carrying)

Column addition no carrying

Sheet 3 – Column Addition with numbers (with carrying)

Column addition with carrying

Feel free to support your child as necessary. In class we focus on using the correct place value terminology when using column addition. For example:

324

+542

We would say 4 add 2, 20 add 40 (or 2 tens add 4 tens), 300 add 500 (or 3 hundreds add 5 hundreds) – this reinforces to the children the place value columns each number is in to deepen their understanding of the method.

If you have any questions please feel free to pop in and ask.
Please can children hand in this homework by Friday 12th May.

Just a side note – some children requested two pieces of homework because they were unsure whether they could remember how to carry or not.  I have allowed them to have two but have made it clear they are not expected to complete both sheets, they can if they want to but they are only expected to complete one. I have explained that they may want to have a go at maybe 3 on the no carrying and if they are confident they can stop and have a go at the carrying sheet.

Years 3 – 6 Research study

Get Involved in a National Research Study!
 
Our school is taking part in a national research study about child anxiety funded by the National Institute for Health Research.  We are hoping as many families as possible with children in Years 3 – 6 will get involved.  The research team from the University of Reading are really keen for a broad range of families to take part, including those with children who are confident, those who are anxious and those in between.   We are sending home information about the research study, together with some short questionnaires.  You can also find out more about the research, agree to take part and complete the short questionnaires here: 
 
As a way of saying thank you, the University of Reading will provide our school with £1 for each complete set of returned questionnaires (parent, child, teacher) – so it’d be great to get as many families involved as possible!

Class 3 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

Your child has come home today with a short poem relating to one of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory characters. They have been asked to try their best to learn the poem for celebration assembly – this will be their homework for this week. Any support you can give them to help them learn their poem would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your continued to support,

Miss Barratt
