Writing Survey
Dear Y3,
It’s really important to us to know what you think about your learning and how we could improve it, so I have put together a questionnaire about writing.
Please complete the survey so that your teachers can plan even better writing experiences.
Thank you,
Mrs Hadley
We made Lego move!
We created computer programmes to make our Lego models move. We also controlled when our models moved with sensors and we added sounds.
What did you programme your Lego model to do?
3P visit Salop Gardens
We went to Salop Gardens and we got to pick some parsnips, plant some vegetables and meet some animals.
Spanish.
In our Spanish topic ‘Around Town’, we have been making our sentences more interesting by using subordinate clauses (adding extra information to the main clause) starting with ‘because’, ‘when’ or ‘with’. We are also using a variety of conjunctions (but, and also) and a mixture of positive and negative verbs.

We’re growing beans!
On Friday Year 3 took home a pot of compost that will be home to their very own bean seed!
Everyone will need to make sure their seed is watered and kept in a sunny spot. In time, the bean seed will begin to grow!
Make sure you keep track of your beans progress during your Topic homework this half term.
Our rocket seeds have arrived!
Our seeds from space have had a long journey. However they are here at last! We are now going to become space biologists and we will find out whether seeds that have been stored in microgravity in space will grow differently to seeds that have stayed on Earth.
Perhaps one day our findings will help astronauts to grow food in space!
