Week 17: W/C 13th July

To my wonderful Year 3’s,

This week marks the end of your school year in Year 3. It has been a year like no other, and one that none of us will forget.

However, I am bursting with pride over your effort, hard work and resilience to persevere and accomplish so many wonderful achievements! You have so much to celebrate about being you and for that you should be immensely proud. I have loved reading all your comments, watching your videos and seeing week after week your motivation and determination to try your very best, with your home learning.

You have all grown so much in independence and confidence to become resilient, active learners in Key Stage 2. I wish you all the very best as you continue your learning journey in Year 4. Be the shining stars that you all are and achieve nothing but your very best.

Miss Hegedus has a wonderful year planned for you. Remember, I am only next door so please come and say hello. I always like to see your smiling faces and hear how you are doing.

I hope you enjoy you transition session with Miss Hegedus on Thursday. I too will be in school that day so hopefully I can say hello, from a safe distance.

Over the week and the summer, I would like you to access the moving into Year 4 page that your new teacher has set up for you. There are some great activities on there and they will give you a boost for when you enter the doors of Year 4 in September. Below is the page with everything that you need.

Moving into Year 4…

Have a wonderful, fun filled summer break!

Stay safe and keep smiling .

God bless,

Mrs Hodgson xxx

This week we will be thinking about positive memories so I thought it would be nice to share with you some memories of your time in whilst in Year 3.

 

PSHE- Celebrating being me

Positive memories

This week, I would like to reflect on your time whilst in Year 3 and think about all the amazing memories you made with your class mates. I would like you to make a positive memory jar filled with all your lovely thoughts. You may wish to do this using an empty jar and draw or write down these memories. However, you may want to do this on paper. I have attached a sheet for this too. I looked forward to hearing all about your happy, funny memories.

Memory jar Memory jar

RE/ART

Jesus teaches us to treat others as we would like to be treated and God’s most important commandment is to love God and to love your neighbour as yourself. For RE this week, I would like you to be kind to yourself and treat yourself the way you would treat others. Often, it is easy to forget about being kind to ourselves and to celebrate who we are..

Step 1: (Art) Create a tree. Check out the awesome drawing tricks below to help you get creative with your tree.

For the RE part of this task, you will need to be able to write on the leaves.

 

Step 2: Fill the tree

Once your Artwork has dried, on each leaf, write all of your amazing qualities – the things you are good at, your personality traits that make you, you such as kindness, patience, courage.. Take inspiration from the Bible quote above. You can also write the things that you like about your life on the leaves – it might be something to do with your family, your friends, where you live, your hobbies, what you enjoy doing, what food you enjoy – anything that makes you happy and makes you who you are! As an extra challenge, you could find Bible quotes about kindness and the qualities that you have to fill around the edge of your paper.

I would like you to take time and be thoughtful with what you write. You will have so many wonderful ideas because you are all amazing! I would love to see your trees once they are full so please send them to me on Showbie. Finally, enjoy the task – perhaps your whole family could make a tree each at the same time.

Reading

This week I would you to write a book review about your favourite book that you read. Why would you recommend this book to others to read?It can be any book of your choice and you can write more than one book review if you wish to do so.

It doesn’t have to rhyme, however you may wish to write a poem that does. I have attached some different acrostic poems for you to choose from. I look forward to reading them on Showbie.

P.S. The puppy training is going well! Thea can now sit and tap my hand with her paw for a treat. She has learnt how to wait for a treat and enjoys walking in between my legs, in a figure of eight (of course for a treat!).

DT

Family Lockdown Squares Letter

Hopefully you have all seen the letter from Mrs Ward that was sent to your parents about creating a family lockdown square. I would love all of Year 5 to be part of this project so this week, DT is focused on this!

As a school community we have spent a lot of unexpected time apart and it may be a
little longer before we are all back together as a school again.
We thought it would be lovely to make a commemorative piece as a school to
remember this time and to celebrate when we can finally gather together in full
again. The finished piece will be displayed in the ICT suite.
We would like to invite all staff and families to make a ‘lockdown square’. This is a
way for you to capture what this time has meant for you as a family. You could make
one square as a family or you may prefer to make one square per child in your
family. It’s up to you to choose.
It would be fantastic if you could make a fabric collage or use fabric paints, felt letters
and shapes, wool, threads, cross stitch, old socks (clean!) jeans, t-shirts, pillow
cases, even your St Joseph’s jumper that you might have outgrown, to make your
fabric square.

I would love to fill our shout out page with all of your family lockdown squares so please send me your creations as well as following the instructions on the letter. 

Please return your completed family square (with your family name and children’s class details on the back) to school by Friday 10th July.

Lots of you have been asking how my puppy Thea is so I thought I’d share a few pictures. She is is now 13 weeks old and getting more mischievous by the day chewing my shoes (well chewing anything really!) I’ve been enjoying taking her for short walks. She can’t walk very far yet with still being so young. She has been enjoying rolling in the grass, chewing twigs and leaves and getting to meet some of the other dogs on our walk.

During May why not try some of the following activities:

• each day, put time aside to pray, remembering especially the work of our Mother, Mary
• arrange fresh flowers on your prayer table at home
• draw an arrangement of colourful flowers and put them on your bedside table
• sketch a picture of Mary our Mother
• make your very own rosary
• say the rosary with your family
• create a poem devoted to Mary
• sing a hymn devoted to Mary, together as a family.

2. Discuss how you have experienced a fruit of the Spirit. It could be a way in which you treated another person, or in how that person treated you.

3. Reflect on times when you have needed the Holy Spirit.

   • Write or talk about how the Holy Spirit was alive in you in your actions. You can include bible quotes to support this.

Week 8: W/C 11th May

Hello Year 3! I hope you are all well. You are continuing to blow me away with your hard work and your positive, resilient attitudes during your time learning at home. As always, it is so lovely to hear from you all on Showbie and see what you are all getting up to! I was particularly impressed with Amelia this week for making her own shoe box sized bedroom – I thought this was a brilliant idea ! Also to Thomas who has consistently worked hard on the challenges set and then responded to feedback! Shout out to Charlie who has been practising keepie up at football. I was blown away by his concentration and skill to do this. He has now achieved 235 keepie ups in one minute and is continuing try and break this personal record. Shout out to Celia, who is currently 1^st place on the leader board on spelling shed, followed closely by Freya in 3^rd place and Scarlett in 5^th place. Well done to Natalia who has put in the most time on Mathletics (5 hours) followed by Edward (4 hours) this week. That’s really impressive. Huge congratulations this week to Miles too. He earned a Gold certificate on Mathletics this week! That takes real effort and determination. Shout out to Raphael and Liam for learning and reading the most words on Nessy. You have both shown great resilience and worked super hard. Mrs Holmes and I are proud of you both.

I hope you all had a wonderful bank holiday and VE celebrations. Please feel free to post on showbie what you did. There has been something new and exciting on the website – a page dedicated to home learning shout outs!! Check this page regularly to see if you have been given a shout out – this could be for a piece of work that has wowed me or for your fabulous efforts or attitude! Have a fantastic start to the week and keep smiling and look after one another.

Mrs Hodgson

Stay safe online

Just a reminder Year 3 to remember to stay safe online while you are completing home learning. You know the idea behind this but it’s up to you now to put it into practice. This means that you know lots of ways to stay safe on line but now you need to act on this yourself. The easiest way is to remember to STOP, BLOCK and TELL. Also, remember if anything worries you, it’s also fine to send me a message on Showbie as I can still help you even though we are not together at school.

RE- May the month of Our Lady

The month of May is a dedicated, special time in the churches calendar year to remember Mary our Mother. This week I would like you to firstly look at the power point attached. Then make your own special May altar dedicated to Mary (just like we do in class for collective worship). You can decide what you want to put on it. You might want to put on it  flowers, a picture, a prayer or the bible. Each day say a prayer to Mary. This could be the ‘Hail Mary’ or a prayer of your choice. I’ve attached a prayer booklet and some other activities that you can complete throughout the month of May.

This week for PSHE, I want you to take some time each day to do something for yourself that makes you feel happy and good about yourself. Perhaps you might want to start by singing and dancing along to the linked video ‘Happy’. It can be the same thing each day or you might do something different. Some of the things I’ve been doing are speaking to my family on face time, baking, yoga, walking, reading, colouring  in for fun and of course having lots of cuddles with my new puppy Thea! You might want to send me some pictures via showbie or a video of the things you’ve been doing that make you happy. I look forward to seeing them all.
