Year 3 spellings for Set 1 and 2

Hi year 3,

These are your new spellings for this week, they will also be added to Spelling shed and I will be keeping an eye on the leader board!  See if you can get your name up there this week.

The words this week end in -sion and the suffix -ous. There are also two words from your statutory spelling list for years 3 and 4.

Your spellings are:

mission

session

collision

poisonous

joyous

tremendous

profession

adventurous

strange

surprise

Some of these words are quite challenging so if you are not sure what they mean, you could look in a dictionary or ask an adult to help you. Also try putting them into a sentence to use them in context.

Well done, year 3!

Biscuit Parachutes!

Today, the year 3 and 4 children in school were set a challenge. They each had 1 digestive biscuit, 30cm string, 1 A4 piece of paper, 3 bits of sticky tape (10cm each) and some pritt stick. The task was to create a parachute for the biscuit which was dropped from 120cm without it breaking! These are the attempts and the results.

Can you do any better?

Reception to return to school from Monday 8th June

Dear All,

Please read the attached letter which will also be emailed to everyone today.

Please note that it is essential that we hear from every reception parent via email by 1pm on Tuesday 2nd June. Further details in the letter here Opening 8th June final

Many thanks.

 

Key worker children-essential to book your place please

Current key worker families: As more children are now coming in to school as key workers, it is essential that you book your child in with us. If you do not book them in, we may not be able to have them on that day due to numbers. Please email admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk to let us know you childcare requirements for weeks beginning 1st and 8th June by tomorrow midday at the latest. Thank you.

New key worker families: If you are a key worker and your child is coming into school for the first time since lockdown, it is essential that you book a place for them by emailing admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk. If you do not book them in, we may not be able to have them on that day due to numbers. We are asking for you to email your childcare requirements by midday tomorrow for weeks beginning 1st and 8th June. Thank you.

From Monday 1st June, we will be organising the classrooms a bit differently for key worker children in light of the new risk assessment we have done following national and local new guidance. This will include a one way system for dropping off and collecting your child. We will email all key worker parents tomorrow with a detailed plan once we have final numbers of children who will be coming into school. The full Risk Assessment will be added to the school website later today.

Please note, at this stage school is only open to key worker children and vulnerable children. As soon as we know more, we will let other groups/year groups know a start date.

Thank you for your patience.
