*I can stop and think when I am angry

* I can do one thing which makes me proud and one of which others are proud of me

* I can respond to difficult situations in an assertive way

Space Week:

Space Week began in Year 3 by training to be an astronaut.

We tested our hand-eye co-ordination, dexterity and agility. The challenges were tricky but great fun!

English and DT

We have enjoyed writing Instructions. We love imperative verbs and can become quite bossy at times!

Our Reading focus is 'Funnybones' which is also reflected in our new Reading Area.

Instructional Writing

We enjoyed a very busy DT lesson when we made our own moving Funnybones. Whilst we were making the skeletons we wrote our Instructions.

Interview with our Chair of Governors

As part of our Investors in Pupils challenges, we invited Billy Flynn into our classroom to answer lots of questions. He said that he would answer anything we wanted to ask!

Here are some of the interesting facts we found out about Billy:

*he loves dark chocolate

*he used to run Marathons

*he supports Everton Football Club

*he is writing a book called 'The Spectacular'

Summer Term!

Our History focus is The Romans and our groups are named after Roman Gods. The children are enjoying exploring a variety of Myths & Legends.

On 18th May we are looking forward to a performance from the Blah Blah Blah Theatre Company. A Tale to Tell  celebrates the rich world of Arabic storytelling, blending spoken English and Arabic with exciting shadow play. This event has been funded entirely by school.

Maths: Position, Direction and Movement

We have had lots of fun directing our friends and teachers around the school.

We also found other exciting ways to learn direction and movement.

Calligrams

We have explored and created our own Calligrams.
