In Year 3 we have been working hard all term on our inquiry about how we express ourselves through art and other things. The children are in the middle of preparing their final projects and we would like to invite you to come and see them on Friday 5th February at 8:15am. This is their chance to show you the work they have done and explain their ideas.
Thursday 4th February is the Key Stage 2 Sports Day. Please remind them that they should wear their team shirts, and they need hats, suncream and water bottles.
After the half-term break, students will resume their swimming lessons in one of their PE slots. It will be on the same day they had it in term 1, either Tuesday or Wednesday. As before, they should bring their swimming gear in a bag with goggles and a towel. They should wear their normal school uniform, change for swimming and then change back into their uniform after swimming.
We would like to announce the dates of the Year 3 sleepover. They are Thursday 10th to Friday 11th March. We would like to invite you to an information meeting on Tuesday 23rd February where we will give you more information and you will have the opportunity to ask questions.

Fractions, 3MW assembly
This week we have moved onto studying fractions in Maths. In this unit, the students draw fractions of their own and say what fraction of shapes are shaded. They will also move on to finding fractions of numbers and solving word problems to do with fractions. Using fractions strips, they will identify equivalent fractions and convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers. For more information on this unit, please see the Year 3 website:

Expressing our Feelings
Last week we were very lucky to have a number of different arts teachers from across the school talking about and demonstrating how they express feelings through their art. Miss Lester and Miss Coulson talked about their own art as part of a workshop on Wednesday. Miss Merja played some very thoughtful and expressive pieces on the piano on Thursday, and Mr Evans did a drama workshop on Friday where the children expressed different emotions through body language. They gave us some great ideas that we are now using as part of our own classwork.
In Literacy we are using poetry as a way of expressing feelings. As part of their homework, the students have been asked to learn one poem from the Year 3 website so that they can do a recital in class. The poems they can choose from are here:

Friday 22nd January is 3MW's assembly where we will be sharing some of our work so far.
Another date for your diary is Sports Day on Thursday 4th February.

Happy New Year!
We hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. This is going to be a busy term, including some class assemblies and our Year 3 sleepover- more information to follow.
We have some new students starting in Year 3. They are:
Zlata Pustoshinskaya
Daniel Ottovedzhio
Aiyapon Promkuea Na Phattalung
As always, we hope everyone will make them feel welcome and help out where needed.
This term we are starting a new theme that we have not done before. The title of this theme is 'We Express Ourselves in Different Ways'. In this theme the children will be learning about how artists use their talents to express themselves. This is to include visual arts, drama, dance, poetry, music as well as other aspects of the 'Arts'.
In Maths we are starting a unit on division. By the end of this unit we hope that most students will at least be able to divide 2 and 3-digit numbers by a single digit. Mostly, this will be division using a number line. For an explanation of how it works, please see this page of the Primary Numeracy website:
