Happy Monday lovely year 3 children. Hope your keeping safe and working hard :) 

Below is one of our favourite songs that I know you will be singing and dancing to at this moment. I will add some more songs during the next few weeks.

I'm adding this weeks home project with some websites that you can use to help with your learning. Remember to use a pencil for your maths and if you have a pen licence, use a pen for your writing.

A reminder that swimming is on Thursday afternoon and PE is on Friday afternoon.

We  have started back to swimming and the children are trying very hard. Yesterday Kwabena received the first certificate of the term.

We hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you a happy new year.

Below are some photos of the children's celebrations before Christmas.

The children have settled beautifully into the year 3 setting. Mrs Parker and Mrs Stanoch are really pleased with how hard they are working. This half term they are historians, learning all about the Stone age and Scientists and Geologists learning all about Rocks.
