This week, we visited Snipedales Country Park to develop our understanding of a river course. The foliage had grown a lot had we had to work hard to find the river but we were pleased that the theories of what we would find were still true! It was great to see muddy water emerging from the source and then being filtered down the river.

Please remember that we do PE outside every week, even if it’s cold! You must bring in a PE kit which has a tracksuit and trainers for this.

Year 3 homework 10th Sept

Please click on the link above to access the Year 3 Homework for this week.

This is to be completed in your new red homework books and to be returned to school on Tuesday.

Thank you!

Year 3 have been working hard today learning about the course of a river and it’s features. We have been using vocabulary such as tributary, estuary, meander and source, as well as looking at how the river changes along it’s  course. In pairs, the class produced a labelled diagram of a river and included all of this new vocabulary.

Here is the Year 4 homework for this week. It is due in on Tuesday 18th September.

Hurricane Sports will be offering a hockey club on Thursdays after school from 3.20-4.30, starting next week.

It will cost £2.50 a session and to book you need to go onto Hurricane sports website.

This is for Years 3-6.

There will also be a rugby club on a Monday after school.

This is only for Years 4-6 initially with limited places.

Year 4 will begin swimming tomorrow. We will be leaving by 10.30 and shall return in time for lunch. Children will need:
Girls – swimming costume, towel and hat (for long hair)
Boys – Trunks (not below knees), towel
Goggles are optional and jewellery must not be worn.

Please make sure your child has their kit every Thursday.

If you have any questions, please speak to Mrs Saville.

This week we had fun pretending that we were out on a river. The river was smooth so we were feeling calm and relaxed. Our arms got tired from rowing though!

We also pretended to climb to the top of a mountain. It was freezing at the top and we collapsed when we got there because climbing was so exhausting!

We thought about how we might feel at the top of a mountain and decided we would feel like we were flying as high as a bird!

We’ve really enjoyed using biscuits to show how different mountains are formed. We made our own models and then ate the left over biscuits! (Though we didn’t fancy the ones which were soggy from the ‘magma’!)

On Tuesday 8th September, Y3/4 are going on their trip to Snipesdale Country Park to help support our learning about rivers. We sent the information out last term so this is just to remind you!
We will be leaving at 9am and returning before the end of the usual school day. Children need to wear their school uniform – including sturdy shoes and a waterproof coat. Snacks, drinks and lunch boxes should be easy to carry and you will not need anything such as a book bag.

We also need some parent helpers for the trip – please see your child’s teacher or the office if you are able to help and have been cleared previously to do this.

Thanks
Team Y3/4
