St Anne's Catholic Primary School

Congratulation to all  year 3 children that received their First Holy Communion this Sunday! On this very special day, I hope you can feel the light of Jesus shining down upon you!

After a restful half term, we came back ready to continue our learning journey!

We planned and started writing our descriptive narratives. Have a look, for yourselves, I think you'll be impressed with the range of fronted adverbials, the expanded noun phrases, the direct speech and all the imagery we've used!

On Friday, we had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful day! We spent the whole day outside learning and having fun! Thank you Mrs Cosgrove for organising all these awesome outdoor learning events! It was great fun, have a look!

Happy Easter everyone, I hope you all had a restful break! In year 3, we are back, working hard and having lots of fun of course straight away!

Even though the weather wasn't on our side (too windy), our Easter Egg Hunt went great! 

We finished our instructions and we are extremely proud! What do you think? Have a look...

Saying goodbye to Mrs Asbury was probably the hardest thing this week! We are going to miss our singing assemblies, our choir practices, our performances, our lessons... good luck Mrs Asbury!

Our box is full of Easter eggs!

Planning and writing our final set of instructions. We had fun making our Egyptian necklaces and then planning and writing our instructions!

This week we had fun making sandwiches! The children enjoyed givining Hei Yin explicit instuctions using all the grammatical features we have learnt this term! The following day we planned and wrote them. The sandwiches were scrumptious and our instructions very well written!

How to say 'No' to temptation!

After having a well deserved half term, we are back ready to have fun learning! This week we were particularly busy! Have a look to find out what we've been up too!

Remember that we are dust and to dust we shall return.

Connecting, communicating with other people is important for our mental wellbeing. Therefore, in year 3 we desided to play board games! We had fun, connected and communicated!

Editing your writng can be very hard so in year 3 we help eachother by giving constructive feedback! We really enjoy it and find it very heplful too!

We learnt how to divide! We used concrete apparatus and pictorial representations to understand better the place value of the numbers and the operation. It was very hard at the beginning but we percevered and we did brilliantly! We are so proud of ourselves!

This week, we started invention week. Therefore, we planned and started writing our own non-chronological reports about Indus Valley civilisation. We tried our best to apply all the language features we learnt this term. Have a look at our first draft!  

This week, was  our innovation week so we planned altogether as a class a Stone Age Non-chronological report. We tried our best with the lay-out and of course our grammar (fronted adverbial,generalisers, compound and complex sentences)! We believe we did an amazing job! What do you think?

We learnt how to use generalisers, fronted adverbials and complex sentences in our wtiting. We aced it! Have a look for yourself...

Summarising is very hard, especially if you've never done it before! Year 3s though, embraced the challenge, tried the best and excelled!

We learnt the story of the shepherds and reflected on the birth of Jesus Christ and who He is.

Happy New year everyone! In year 3,  we all had a restful Christmas and now we are full of energy ready try our hardest in all subjects and of course have a lot of fun! 

We had great fun painting pictures and doing PE with Joe!

In year 3, we learnt about Islam and we had a very generous visitor – Mrs Hadia Butt - who taught us all about the features of a mosque.

Rather consert about climate change, we recycled shredded paper and made our own sheets of paper and wrote beautiful letters to the prime minister expressing our concern and sharing some of our ideas. 

We charged our batteries and we are back ready to work hard and have a lot of fun!

Since last term, on Thursdays, 6 children from year 3 enjoy a gardening session (during lunch time) with Mrs Burnit and our wonderful volunteers. The vegetable beds and flower pots look great and the children love it!

Adding 3 digit numbers, crossing 10s and 100s is very hard, but we nailed it! We used concrete aparatus and pictures to understand the exchanged and and now we can use the formal method too!

Have a well deserved half term everyone!

...because we are so awesome and hardworking that we filled our marble jar! So, our treat is cinema party with snacks! 

We worked so hard this term and our efforts paid off! Our diaries are amazing! They have great lay out, awesome description, accurately used  direct speech and a masive dose of sarcasm and humour! We edited and illustrated them and now they are all ready to be posted! We cannot wait for Ms Fine's response!

We finished writing our poems about Maurice and we read them to Mrs B! She loved them and she promised to read them to Maurice! We cannot wait for his response! I think he will love them too, let's see!

Do you like our poems?

This week, we made our own tune on the key boards and learnt a lot about Flutes!

We had a very special visitor on Monday, Maurice Mrs B's adorable Ragdoll cat. We enjoyed cuddling him and asking Mrs B questions about his character. We were very surprised to hear that he loves reading (like us), he doesn't like hunting and he loves playing roli-poli with Monty the dog. What an unusual cat!

We were so inspired that we decided to write beautiful poems about him! We started writing them on Friday, Have a look...

We listened attentively to Mrs L's performances and we gave constructive feedback identifying what went well and what could be improved...

We are really excited because today we started our special relationship with our partner school in Kenya, Ol Moran. Our first project was 'What we love eating'. We all created a picture of our favourite meal, including desert! We can't wait to see what the children at Ol Moran love to eat! 

We made wonderful bookmarks for our love of reading book! Do you like them?
