DRESS UP DAY – CAREER DAY

Next Friday, the Year 3 children will come to school wearing clothes / costumes appropriate for the theme of career day. Take a look at the photos below for inspiration.

If your child has Deli Fresh for lunch, please talk to them about their food choices as we have noticed a lot of children are reluctant to finish their lunch.

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 weather did not put a dampener on all the fun in Year 3 this week! We had four wonderful guest speakers who gave up their time to share information about their jobs. The children eagerly listened and took notes with regards to the skills they use daily and how they collaborate with others.

Finally we were able to make our dreams come true! The children and adults absolutely loved their visit to ‘Dream come true.’ It was great to see so many smiling faces!

People collaborate towards a common goal

Lines of Inquiry

Different workplaces and the roles people have (responsibility)
Shared goals in group situations (connection)
Systems that support collaboration in the workplace (responsibility)

This week the children have continued to look at the different skills needed for collaboration and continued inquiring into the different skills needed for different occupations.

The children took notes during our Guest Speaker’s talk and composed a job description based on the notes they had taken.

This week the children explored area and measurement using centimetres. They also inquired into probability. The children described likelihood of activities and events using appropriate vocabulary. E.g. likely, unlikely, certain, impossible.

Next week the children will collect organise and represent data including bar graphs, pictograms, venn diagram and tally charts.

New tasks have been set in relation to time. Please encourage your child to log on and complete tasks as part of their home learning.

This week the children continued to compose their own expositions. Ask your child about their exposition and the features they included in order to persuade. Was your child able to persuade you?

Next week the children will continue looking at the comprehension key, making connections and will look at how they can make text to text, text to self and text to world connections.

Children will be borrowing books from school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On Monday and Friday the children will read an online book from Reading Eggspress at home.

Please help support your child with this week’s home learning task which can be found in their folders.

Home learning will be set on a Wednesday and returned on the following Monday.

RECENTLY IN YEAR 3, WE HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF INSTANCES OF ITEMS GOING MISSING. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE CHILDREN ON EACH OCCASION, THE ITEMS WERE RETURNED TO SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY. WHILST, I AM PLEASED THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE REFLECTED ON THEIR ACTIONS AND RETURNED THE ITEM TO SCHOOL, I AM DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE TO SHARE THIS NEWS WITH PARENTS. PLEASE CAN YOU REMIND YOUR CHILDREN THAT ANY ITEMS THEY BRING TO SCHOOL SHOULD BE LABELLED WITH THEIR NAMES AND IF IT IS SOMETHING VERY PRECIOUS TO THEM, IT SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT TO SCHOOL.
