Writing creatively in our Creative Writing books. Lots of good ideas.
Having our reading tests.


Being taught
something new
is always fun.
Playing a celebrity guessing game.
We had a treat on Tuesday morning. We got to meet our 'Buddies'. This is the class we will be paired with while we are in Year 3. We have paired up with Ms Victoria's class in Year 6. We visited them and they had planned some fantastic activities and games for us to do with the brain (which is their current topic). Each year 6 child taught us how to do something, make something or play a game. It was brilliant! Here we are working with our Year 6 Buddies from Ms Victoria's class.

Please note, reading tests are still being done this week. Guided Reading will still take place, but it is possilbe that Ms Andrea may not hear your child read their reading book until next week. Any reading band changes, your child will be told and they will choose a new book from the new colour level. Some children will remain on the same band for now.
Today in 3N one of the things we did in IPC Dinosaurs was to learn about how fossils are formed. We watched a short video clip and discussed how the rocks move over millions of years eventually exposing the fossils.
We then made our own dinosaur skeleton fossils. This is us in action!

Dear children & parents,
This weeks' English homework (on poems) is on Studywiz. The 6 or 10 spellings to learn are also on Studywiz. They are called camera words as they are frequently used words. Maths homework will be given out by your maths teacher every Friday and it is usually either stuck in your Maths Homework book or on a worksheet.
In the future we will be working towards putting all homework and class news and information onto the 3N Blog. However, for now, please see homework through the Studywiz page. Homework will also be stuck into your homework book.
