Autumn Week 7 

Celebrating Reading!

Did you know that we celebrate reading and a love of books at any opportunity at Brunel school. In Mousehole class, we share our love of reading and different books when we can. Reading at home every day makes such a difference to a child's vocabulary and learning. Thank you to those who have been so supportive of this so far this year. Each week, we celebrate a star reader where we recognise a students efforts in reading. 
 We were also very pleased to be winners of a class reading teddy this week! This can only be won when a class has the most book trail award certificates for the week. Well done Mousehole Mice-super reading...keep it up!

 


Autumn week 5 & 6 

Busy Mousehole Mice!

Last week, we had our opening assembly for the Archie Project. We learnt about dementia and how this affects people in different ways. We discussed how we can interact with the residents at St Anne's when we visit.
Last Thursday, we celebrated National Poetry Day with Poems and art about Refuge. Can your child recite the poem learnt?

We finished our Place Value topic in Maths and have moved on to addition and subtraction this week. Our place value unit has greatly helped in building our learning as we continue to work closely with hundreds, tens and ones.

In English, we have started our poetry unit and are planning our Egyptian personification poems!

We continue to enjoy learning about the Ancient Egyptians and learnt more about culture and achievements this week and how this still impacts our lives today.

Tomorrow we will investigate sound further with Mrs Morris and use the recycling that has been collected to junk model. Thank you to everyone who helped with this.

 


Autumn Week 4 

Archie Project

This week we started to visit St Anne's care home. The children will have a chance to visit once a month, where they will take part in activities with the residents. This week, a range of creatures were brought in and the children and residents bonded and had lots of fun!

Visiting St Anne's is part of our work with the Archie Project. This project allows the children to be aware of and learn about dementia in different ways. I will keep you posted on other events coming up with the Archie project this year.

 


Autumn week 3 

Rain stopped Netball play!


The storms stopped our netball outside in PE this week, however sonic style yoga was enjoyed by all-building on core strength with actively moving the body, stretching and balancing. Well done Mousehole class!

 


Autumn Week 2 

This week we start to learn, ,rehearse and retell our narrative text-The Time-Slip Scarab. It links nicely to our topic and is packed with great vocabulary. The children used this vocabulary to create informative posters which now decorate our walls and remind the children of the definitions and synonyms (words with the same or similar meaning!).

In maths, we started our Place Value topic and have spent some time to embed how to work out different number lines.
In PE, we continued to learn how to play netball. We tried to be successful with the footwork rule!

We have started our French lessons as well as music, RE, PSHE and History.

Look at some of our eye sketching from our art lesson! So impressive!




 


Welcome to Mousehole class 

Hello and welcome to Mousehole class!

The children have been wonderful at settling in this week, especially in the heat (how typical now we are back!). This week, we have been settling into routines, getting to know each other and beginning our learning. Our topic for this term is ‘Who were the Ancient Egyptians?’ Please see the topic web attached for more details on what we will be learning in each subject. We are beginning our English journey with learning how to write a story with a historical setting and by embedding number through place value in maths.

We are keen readers at Brunel, and in Mousehole class we love to hear about ANYTHING the children are enjoying to read. Please encourage your child to read at home and to share what they are reading at school with us. We ask for school books to be read at home for 15 minutes a night at least 5 times a week and for this to be noted by an adult in their reading records. This is so important as reading is the key to all learning across the curriculum!

Maths homework with be sent home shortly.

Spelling booklets for my spelling group have been sent home this week. Testing will start next Friday (15th).

I have attached the year 3 information below for your information.

Please email or see me at the end of the day (once I have seen all of the children out) if you ever need to give me a message or ask a question.
