Mali Day

Mali Day!

 

 

Children tomorrow will be asked to wear red, yellow and green to celebrate Mali Day. We will be learning lots about this French speaking country such as the different food they eat and the music they create. Pictures will follow shortly! Children in year three have loved learning French with Mrs Sullivan this year. Here are some French videos that the children can practice with.

Pentecost Party

Year three and the rest of the school made a fantastic effort at wearing red, orange and yellow for our Pentecost Party last Friday. We had lots of fun making kites to represent the Holy Spirit and baking flame coloured biscuits! Mrs Smith's class also made a superb shadow puppet show and dove decorations. Here are a look at some of pictures of the day!

                Our new theme this half term will be 'Anything is Possible!'

Within this topic we will be looking at imaginary worlds, famous inventors and inventions. We are currently creating a story set in a magical world and have been reading and writing all about settings from Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Literacy work to follow shortly!

Miss Ferguson's class were also delighted when the fantastic Mrs Hough came third in the Selby Abbey Bake Off! Well done Mrs Hough...we hope to try much more of your baking now!

Here are some fantastic pictures of year three wearing their red noses!

                                                                Quick Reminder!

Don't forget to come to school on Friday wearing something red or with big hair so we can celebrate Red Nose Day and raise lots of money for people in Africa and Britain. There will also be lots of yummy cakes on sale and it would be fantastic if you could bring some in. Hopefully we can take plenty of funny pictures of our year three class with their special outfits, big hair and delicious buns!

This week year three are working extra hard in maths, learning how to tell the time to the nearest five minutes and working out time problems. Here are some pictures of the class playing time bingo! The class have also enjoyed playing this fantastic ICT time game which has been testing their time and addition skills.
