A fantastic week in year three

The children have been working really hard in school this week. Well done!

They have started dance with Miss Gemma on a Thursday, they are really enjoying this.

In Maths, the children have been learning to use the column method for subtraction. This has involved learning to borrow.

In RE, the children have started a new topic called ‘Is life like a journey?’ The children thought about their life so far and then thought about dreams and aspirations for the future. We created an aspiration tree.

Today, the children have drawn a portrait of themselves and painted it using watercolour.

Fantastic!

Our Interfaith Week resources have arrived! The children are invited to get creative to celebrate Interfaith Week this year. They can make a poster or artwork; research a faith and present the facts; make up a song, dance or story…or anything else that takes their fancy!  The aim is celebrate, learn, show respect and appreciate the value of diversity. Please hand in your entry to Mrs Holt, Mrs Swan or Mrs Probert by Monday 20th November. Winners will be celebrated and prizes given during Celebration Assembly. We can’t wait to see what you create!

School Council Event

On Thursday, a small group of our school councillors went to Southwater Library to feature in Councillor, Shaun Davies’ Christmas video. The children got to ask Shaun a series of festive ‘This or That’ questions and talked about some of their own Christmas traditions. While they were there, they enjoyed reading some books too!

The video will be aired mid-December and used widely across the council’s digital channels to wish borough residents a Merry Christmas!

They have had a very special assembly this morning and all of year three were very respectful.

The children have done some fantastic Poppy art work.

Here are a few examples:

Spelling Bee at St George’s! 🐝

Spelling Bee Images – Browse 2,279 Stock Photos, Vectors, and Video | Adobe Stock

We are very excited to announce our first ever Spelling Bee at St George’s!

On Wednesday 22nd November, we will be holding a Spelling Bee for children in KS1 (years 1 and 2), lower key stage 2 (years 3 and 4) and upper key stage 2 (years 5 and 6).

The event was introduced to the children on Monday and it is completely optional, but it would be fantastic to have lots of children take part! All of the children taking part will receive a certificate and the top 3 winners will receive a prize! Anyone that does not want to participate will still get to enjoy the event by being part of the audience!

If your child has expressed an interest in taking part, a copy of their words will be sent home so that they can practise. The words are also attached below. Please note that children will need to spell the words using letter names not sounds.

Good luck!

Book Fair! 📚😊

We will be holding our annual book fair next week, from Monday 13th November to Wednesday 15th November, where there will be lots of fantastic books for children of all ages. There are hundreds of titles available, starting from just £2.99! All books sold will contribute towards earning free books for school 😊

The book fair will be open in the large hall after school on these days. Your child will have the opportunity to look around the book fair during the school time. If you are unable to attend the book fair in person, your child can bring a wish list home: you can then select a book, make an online payment and your child can collect their book from the fair the following day.

We look forward to seeing you there! 😊

Year 3 trip to Exotic Zoo

This week year 3 spent the day at Exotic Zoo as part of our ‘Rocks’ topic in Science. We took part in a workshop all about fossils and spent time in the museum. All of the children had a brilliant day and showed all of our school values throughout the trip. Well done Year 3!

Art Competition! 🖌✏🖌✏🖌✏🖌

Our art competition is inspired by the artist Henry Fraser. We heard about him today during assembly.

Below is a link all about him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekZSuVqczxk

The competition is to produce a piece of art, painting preferably, by holding the paintbrush in your mouth. You will have to persevere, it will be tricky but try your very best!

Entries have to be in after half term on the 6th November. Give them to Mrs Blair, Mrs Bridgwater or Mrs Probert.

Good luck!
