Well we have certainly started this term with a bang!! (no onomatopoeia pun intended here!)
Class 3 have made me feel so welcome and I have truly had a lovely week including lots of fun learning!
We started the week with some 'getting to know you' games and activities, where I learnt a lot about you all and then we begun our new English unit based around the film Rio.
I was super impressed with the fantastic descriptive writing that all the children produced. Most of the class managed to achieve the green challenge which meant they included adjectives, alliteration, similes and onomatopoeia into their writing. I know that when Mr Wainwright popped into the class, he was very impressed too!
During our theme lessons we have started to learn about Brazil and researched some facts on the iPads- there's already a lovely display up in the classroom- feel free to pop in and see it parents!
Finally, in Science, the Year Three's had great fun introducing the Animals and Humans unit by creating and putting together a human skeleton and labelling the parts!!
Anyway... I best get going!
Thank you again Class 3 for a wonderful week... have a lovely weekend!

Welcome Mrs Ward and will most certainly be coming in to see the new wall display, just please don't test my knowledge on onomatopoeia (thank goodness for auto spell)
Haha!!
ReplyDeleteJust wait until we're learning about subordinate clauses... Then it really does get tough!!!!
I'll get my mum to write me a note on that day.
