Owl Class

 

We are a class of Year 3 children and our teacher is Miss Bate with Mrs Wahby and Miss Tickle supporting us.

 

Our main topics for this year include:

'Awesome Egyptians' where we learn about the history of the ancient civilisation from mummification, the River Nile all the way to Howard Carter and what Egypt is like now.

'Rumble in the Jungle' we look at the geography of the Amazon Rainforest, the climate and animals that live there to the ancient Mayans.

'Victorian Rawdon' we look our local area and the history/grography. We also look at the life of children in the Victorian era and key areas from that time,

 

Each topic includes a project to be. completed at home and either a class visit or a workshop to excite and engage the children, as well as to enhance the learning experience.

P.E. is currently on Monday (outdoor) and Wednesday (indoor).

On these days please come to school dressed in your PE kit.

Homework is handed out on a Friday and needs to be returned on Tuesday mornings. Homework and diaries will be checked weekly and house points are awarded for effort and accuracy. Reading at least twice a week at home will also be benifical in supporting your childs learning. Please sign the homework diary so we are aware.

Please keep practising your spellings and time tables (plus the linked division facts), as it is so important. Please also practise telling the time (looking at analogue and digital times) at home as this will really help your child in maths lessons.

 

To keep upto date with information, please check the weekly newsletter sent by the school office, along with the Jotter app that will publish weekly news from Owl class, If you are unable to log into the Jotter app, please request a log in letter from school. Weekly class news will also be available on our school website. Check out our school website for what we are getting upto on the curriculum page and any other information regarding our school life.

 

We are using Times Table Rock Stars in school to help the children learn their times tables. You will have your log in on a letter given at the beginning of the year. If lost please ask for another one.

What a busy week we have had!

In Science we have been completing even more experiments with lights and shadows. We used torches to make shawdows and create a shawdon hand puppets.

We have been learning about the Gifts of the Nile this week and how the Nile has a big impact on Egypt. We finished the week off with out DT day. The chidlren were fantastic at measuring and cutting the wooden to make their very own Shaduf. Then they carefully used the saw to cut. The children also make a clay mummy and amulets. After the half term, we will be completing our Shaduf and testing them out, along with making a sarcaphagus for the clay mummy.

There has been NO HOMEWORK this week over half term. Only the Egyptian project that is due in on the 20th November. If you want to send in your project early, that is great!

We have had a very busy half term, so enjoy your break!

What a week!

The children have enjoyed another experiment in science. We looked at the dangers of the sun and placed our experiment in our windows. We will be checking them in a couple of weeks (if we have any sun!)

The children have made a create start to column addition. Next week we will be starting column subtraction. 

In art we have been practicing pointillism using different pencils and tones. The children have really enjoyed this and next week we will be continuing.

Next week it is our last week of term. There is also the Harvest Fesitival next Thursday at 2.30 in the school hall.

Have a lovely weekend!

It has been a busy week filled with baking, crafts and more experiments!

At the beginning of the week, we has our Curriculum Day which was Herbs and Spices this year. The children made apple and cinnamon buns, a pomenda, explored different spices and painted an Egyptian scene using tumeric and wash powder! It was a fantastic day!

During the week we continued our science experiments with reflection and mirrors. We used the mirrors to write coded messages and trying to work our way out of a maze as well. 

In history we have been recapping mummification and created a booklet with a pop up mummy!

Thats all for this week, have a lovely weekend!

Music Week

We have had a very musical week this week. Every morning the children have been listening to different music, the earliest piece composed from the 12th century! We have had 2 different bands visiting us, Back Chat Brass and Jambalaya, to perform different styles of music and explain the instruments. The children really enjoyed listening to all the different music this week.

In English, we have been creating our own rainforest animal and next week we will be writing a non-chronological report about it. In Maths we have started learning about fractions. 
We are now moving deeper into our rainforest topic and are now starting to look at the different parts of the rainforest. 
Next Friday is our school Interhouse Rugby. All children will need to come in their PE kits and bring a water bottle. If the weather has not been good for the week, please bring in a spare set of clothes/trainers/socks.

Today your child has also brought home a letter regarding the rugby tournament we have been working towards. This has been with Yarnbury Rugby club and 3 other schools have joined. There will be more information to follow soon. 

Have a good weekend!
