Today we had fun making Pudsey out of loose change. After break we went on a Pudsey hunt. There was 13 letters hidden around school and we had to sort them to make a well known phrase. The phrase was ‘show your spots’. Well done to Nabeel for winning the prize.
A special mention goes to Aniq because he raised a staggering £55 by being sponsored to answer Numeracy questions.
Literacy – Next week we will be looking at speech and plays. When you are reading a book at home look carefully. Who is speaking? How do you know? What is a narrator? If you do some writing this weekend, try to include some speech and have a go at putting speech marks in the correct place.
Phonics – Make sure you are taking your books home and practising the sounds you have been learning. Ask someone to ask you questions about the book.
Numeracy – Next week we will be learning about division. What do you already know about division? What vocabulary do you know? What strategies can you use to help you work out a division question? At home, practise sharing out objects and toys between you and your family. How many does each person get if you share them out equally?
Don’t forget you should be practicing your times tables and number bonds at home.
Topic – Tell somebody at home what you have found out about Bollywood films.
Next week we will be starting to plan our very own short Bollywood blockbusters!
Over the weekend, think about your play. What could happen in your play? What kind of characters will there be? Please visit our blog at to get some fantastic ideas!
Over the last week in Literacy we have been working to produce a story set in a familiar place. Firstly, we planned our story using a story S. This helped us with the structure of our story. As the week progressed we added a section and this is our final piece.

Happy Eid to everyone celebrating Eid!
What have you been doing to celebrate?
Wow! This is all of Year 3 performing an alternative version of Kookaburra. Mr Sheppard was really impressed that all of us managed to keep in time and sang so beautifully. Well done!
This afternoon we had a special ukulele lesson were both Year 3 classes joined together for the first time. This is our performance of our favourite song. It is called the Banana Boat song.

This week we have started to watch some clips from different Bollywood films, to help us to learn more about them. We have started to think of lots of different questions, which we know need to find out the answer to. Answering our questions will help us to create our own short Bollywood films at the end of term. We can’t wait to start acting!
What do you think of this clip?
