In English, Year 3 acted out different scenarios using formal and informal language and identified the differences between the two. We discussed when it is best to use formal and informal language.
In RE, we have been looking at parables and their hidden meanings. We looked at the Good Samaritan and the lost sheep. We will be looking at what kind of world Jesus wanted this half term.

Year 3 have been learning about friction this afternoon. Friction is the force that slows down a moving object. We investigated lots of different surfaces to find out which had the most and least friction. The dinner hall had the least friction because it was smooth. The grass had the most friction.
This week in gymnastics, Year 3 focused on jumping as this will be apart of our gymnastics routine. We made sure we started on two feet and landed with two feet. We practiced different jumps such as pike, straddle, half turn, full turn, pencil and star jump.
Year 3 had a RHSE day about Relationships. We discussed what a relationship is and how we can build them. We worked in pairs to demonstrate how we can be a good or bad friend and presented them to the class to see if they could recognise whether it was a good or bad relationship. We then discussed how we can show respect and what is needed for a good relationships in different scenarios. To show our progression we have included a picture of our Cool to Gold on ‘What is a relationship and how can we build them?’
Year 3 had Deborah from Nexus come into class today and deliver a workshop on Nexus. This included showing us the new fleet of metros, telling us how Nexus operate, some amazing facts about the metro and some dos and don’ts around travelling on the metro! We learned so much that we can put into practice outside of school. We then wrote down our favourite facts and safety information, that we had learned, for our floorbook.
Hunter and I (Hunter’s mam) went to Denmark for Christmas and met daddy there. We stayed with our friends on an island called Fano for Christmas and had traditional Danish Christmas dinner of Christmas Day. We spent lots of time outdoors on the beach and in the sand dunes.
For New Year we went to Copenhagen just the 3 of us, we visited one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe called Tivoli Gardens, it is also where Walt Disney got his inspiration for Disney Land. We also visited the Denmark National Museum and also as the famous Nyhavn. We did a canal tour through the city which Hunter loved.
We said good bye to Daddy at Copenhagen airport on New Year’s Day and came home. Hunter was very sad and to cheer him up the staff at KLM arranged for Hunter to visit the cock out and meet the pilots on our way home.
Year 3/4 had a fantastic Christmas party with lots of dancing and party games!
Year 3 had a brilliant time at the pantomime to see Mother Goose. We are super proud of their amazing behaviour!
