The children had an exciting afternoon with their parents! Year 3 were able to teach their grown-ups how to play a piece of music from the charanga scheme using the glockenspiel. Parents and children both enjoyed singing a piece of music from Bob Marley's ' Three Little Birds ' and incorporating the instruments into the song.
In our RE lesson today we discussed some of the ways Hindus celebrate Diwali and had the opportunity to create our very own Diya lights. We used clay to create our own Diyas, etching Diwali patterns around the outside. Do you like them?
In Year 3 we have been looking at our new jigsaw friend, Jigsaw Jino. We have been looking at our school rules in PSHE lessons and have come up with a class charter. Our class charter is similar to the whole school rules, but these are specific to our classroom that we have created together. We have all agreed to follow them in Year 3.
Our children have been given their new reading ranges for this half-term and have now selected a book of their choice from our amazing reading corner. Children can now choose from a variety of genres of books, such as football, mysteries, adventure and so much more.
Children are expected to read for 20 minutes each day at home and are given the opportunity to read during school each morning. Once children have finished reading their chosen book, they will be able to take a comprehension quiz.
