The Year 3 children will be having a Christmas party on Friday 9th December. The children will need to come into school wearing party clothes on this day.

On party day the children will have an extended lunchtime to eat their buffet-style party lunch. On this date, please send your food item(s) in disposable containers or named reusable ones. If your child is bringing hot food, this may be delivered to the office by 12.00pm at the latest. Boxed drinks will be provided by school, but children should also bring their own water, as per usual.

Please find more information about the Christmas party on the letter that your child has taken home.

Please remember to cancel Delifresh lunches on Party day.

 

All children need a hat for break, lunch times and PE lessons. Please ensure they are clearly labelled. NO HAT, NO PLAY!

Please remember that we have a no nut policy at BHS due to some children having severe allergies. This includes peanut butter sandwiches and nuts in cookies or cakes.

The children enjoyed going to L.E.A.P to learn about body systems and how to care and nurture their bodies. The children took part in activities that enabled them to make decisions, problem solve and interact with their peers by discussing possible alternative actions to address problem situations relating to their own health and well-being.

The interaction between body systems helps us to keep healthy and survive.

Lines of Inquiry

  1. How the body systems work (Function)
  2. Interdependence and independence between the body systems (Connection)
  3. Impact of lifestyle choices on the body systems (Responsibility)

This week the children looked at mystery questions  by determining which questions were important and gathered information for their chosen system.
