Wedding in Class 3

As part of our RE we have been learning about Christian weddings. On Wednesday 1st December at 10am our class will be visiting the local church in Taffs Well to re-enact a wedding.
You are welcome to join us. In the next few days we will let you know the part your child will be playing.

Home Time

Thank you all for your cooperation when collecting your children at home time. The children are dismissed far quicker and it is less chaotic!

JAMBO!

Last Monday saw the start of our Africa topic. We had a wonderful fun day with our special visitor, Chrys. To enhance the experience of living in Africa we all had to take our socks and shoes off for the activities! She helped us learn many African dances, songs and showed us how to play some African instruments.The

children explored and experienced taking part in African games and activities. They used natural materials such as wooden pegs to make snakes, huts, giraffes and elephants.
Both Mrs Best and myself were very proud of the children as they were all very well behaved throughout the day.

Over the next few weeks the children will be writing their own African tales, learning about light and sound sources, making their own fruit salad based on the story Handa's Surprise, creating African animals using clay and many more!

Africa

Our topic this half term is based on Africa. If you have any resources or experience you would like to share with the children please let me know.

On Monday, to kick start our topic we are having an African day where the children will be learning african dances!

Water Bottles

We have noticed recently that most children are asking for a drink of water throughout the day. Please could you provide your child with a water bottle to bring to school. We have a water fountain situated in the main hall for your child to refill their bottle when empty.

Thank you

Ahoy There! Shh!!!

During the last few weeks the children have really enjoyed our topic about Pirates. They have designed and built their own Pirate ship and treasure island, written comic strips, a pirate shopping list, letters and a Pirate diary. The children have also been learning how to create treasure maps and use a programmable robot called Bee Bot to find treasure!

Next Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the weather, we are planning a Pirate Party for the children, but keeping it a secret from them until last minute! We will take the children for a walk into the garden to send their letter back to Pirate Percy Patch, there they will stumble upon an old treasure map. The children will have to use their mapping skills to find the hidden treasure, which will be the party!

The children have made pirate hats and telescopes in school, so there is no need to send in costumes. We will provide fruit, biscuits, cakes and drinks for the party, however, a donation of 50p will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Snack Time

Thank you for providing your child with one healthy snack for break time. If you provide the snack in a container (e.g. for grapes) please could you clearly label the container with their name. There will be a box in the yard for the children to place their container in, so that they do not have to re-enter the building during break.
