Monday 13th July

Good Morning Class 3, 

I hope you have had a lovely weekend and enjoyed another week of home learning last week. We are here! Just one more week left until the summer holidays. You have all been brilliant and have coped excellently during these strange times. I'm proud of every single one of you!

Firstly, our Work of the Week certificate this week is awarded to.... ALL OF YOU! For continuing to be brave, resilient and do some fantastic work during the school closure.

Well done to our Club Readers of the week: Max, Hugo, Rose C, Jake, Finn and Tom.  

For your Home learning this week, please keep going with your Maths and Literacy work if you can, and any of the activities that were posted up last week. In addition please complete the transition booklet (Either Year 2 to Year 3 or Year 3 to Year 4) and a MY PROFILE (of your choice) which is in the Class Pages section under the star which says 'Transition to your new class'. It's really important that you have a go at these activities and email to either myself or Mrs Swain (or both) by Friday 18th July, so Mrs Swain can get to know you more!

Mrs Swain has made a video for you to tell you about some of the new routines that will be in place in September. Please watch this with a grown up! This can be found in the 'Transition to your new Class' folder!

Mrs B has also put together some French-themed activities to conincide with the "Bastille day" celebrations in France on 14th July if you are interested in having a go at those. They are also in the Class pages section underneath the French flag.
