The children were really excited today to receive their very own FREE copy of a Roald Dahl book. They have been encouraged to take them home, look after them, treasure them, read them and share them with adults at home. Please encourage your child to read this book (or any other!) and enjoy the time together sharing the love of reading. Because all of the children received a free book, when they have finished reading theirs, they may wish to swap it with a friend’s book so that they can enjoy a different story as well.

Happy reading!

This week we have been learning about sources of light and we are looking forward to finding out more during our Expedition lessons.

In Maths we have been learning about adding strategies using rounding, doubling and adjusting. We have been persevering all week and we are feeling far more confident now.

We are eagerly awaiting our school trip to Magna on Wednesday and the Halloween Disco on Tuesday evening. It’s going to be a busy week!

We have been learning about electrical circuits and about how if they have a break in them the electricity cannot flow round. We made the bulb light up using a switch and found out about insulators and conductors.

Every day we have been talking about our behaviour rubric and it has been good to see children trying their best to follow the Plover Pledge.

Today in Year 3 we have been designing our own robots for the future.  We have drawn what we think they will look like and have come up some with special features that will make our lives easier.  Some examples include, Max the Moneymaker (a robot that makes money), Gamer boy (a robot for gaming) and Rosie the Cake Maker who makes delicious cakes.

Next week we will be writing all about these robots and we will be finding out about electricity.
