W/C 23/06/2025 - Sleepover!!

This week, we have been busy learning all about different aspects of time, including months, days and years. We have also been using HWB to make classification keys and exploring inclusive special places. We ended our week with a very special treat... the annual school sleepover! We loved playing outside in the evening, watching Paddington in Peru and eating snacks in the hall with our friends, and then late-night chats with friends before sleep! We are so proud of all the children for showing such kindness towards their friends, for behaving so well and for persevering too! Da iawn Blwyddyn 3!!

This week, we have begun to explore time. We have focused on reading an analogue clock using o'clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. We have also started to look at 5-minute intervals. Any extra practice of this at home would be greatly appreciated. :) We have written a great set of instructions for making a bug hotel and self & peer assessed with the help of Year 6. We have been exploring a variety of activities related to habitats, enjoyed time in our areas and updated our digital portfolios. The Year 6s helped us with our digital portfolios, and we appreciated this very much! Da iawn Blwyddyn 3 & 6 - Teamwork makes the dream work.

An exciting week in Y3!  We have been finding change from different coins in Maths, recognising coins, and counting coins. In PE, we have started to learn how to play tennis and are beginning to use the backhand and forehand shots.  In Art, we sketched The Tin Forest - a book we are reading. Then, created a forest, made using a background of black card and tinfoil. In RVE, we have introduced the Jewish faith to the children and discussed their special place, having decided where our special place is at home. Finally, practising our races for Sports Day coming up next Friday. 

W/C 02/06/2025

This week we have had a very busy first week back. We have completed our national tests, focused on essential features of habitats and mapping animal habitats in Wales, looked at using pounds and pence in our maths & numeracy sessions, identified features of instruction writing and the importance of using imperative/bossy verbs, and researched and presented all things that make Wales a special place. We have also started exploring new and fresh activities within our provision areas in the coridor. Da iawn Blwyddyn 3!! ⭐
