Team Bullard (Yr 3)

In year 3 this week we have been looking at the different functions of stems, roots and leaves in helping plants to repair and grow. Pictured above is our celery experiment using food colouring and water to see how water is transported throughout the plant. This afternoon we had a look at the results and were able to see the holes and track the channels of the water being transported through the celery stick. 

For the next few weeks we are also seeing the effect of the amount of water on plant growth... our windowsills in class are full of experiments lately and the children are loving checking on them each morning. Watch this space for the results!

Hi everyone !

On Monday, the Crab Museum came into school to tell us all about a competition they are running to find the World's Funniest Crab Joke! We are also very excited that our KS2 JLT has been invited to judge the competition alongside Harry Hill, Phil Wang and Sally Phillips! The winner of the competition will be crowned on international crab day - Friday 26^th April 2024. In the meantime, start submitting your best crab jokes via the link on their web page - Crab Joke Competition — Crab Museum

Welcome back everybody! We hope you had a wonderful Easter break!

Our Arts Curriculum timetable for this term:

Reminders:

• Please send your child in with a healthy snack for morning and afternoon breaks. If you are able to label it with a name, that would be great! Please note that baked crisps do not count as a healthy snack. If you are unsure, please stick to fruit and vegetables.
• Children must wear their coats for breaktimes outside.
• Reading records are to be handed in daily to be checked, regardless if the child has read or not.
• Please label all uniform, we have a lot of lost property at the moment.
• Please ensure children are wearing the correct uniform, as well as on PE days.

Key Dates for this term:

Monday 6th May - bank holiday, school closed

Friday 17th May - Parents / carers come read with me

Friday 24th May - in school talent show

Please keep an eye out for additional dates through blogs, text and MCAS.

Apologies for the lack of consistency spellings the last few weeks! We have had a few off timetable days and theme days meaning hasn't been possible to fit everything in(not that the children probably minded!) But back to it for next week!

We ask that the children bring in their completed spelling sheets on Friday morning at the latest.

Children that do not bring in the sheet will spend part of their golden time completing it.

If you have lost your sheet, please ask for another before Friday!

Alternatively, practise on a piece of paper at home and bring that to show us! :)

If there is a legitimate reason for your child to have not completed the spellings / left them at home, please let me know.

Apart from our common exception words, all our spellings this week are words ending in -ing, doubling the consonant, for prod becomes prodding.

We had an amazing time today taking part in a silent disco! We even had a few conga lines form! It was great to sing and dance along to the music, or listen and do some drawing if we needed a break. We have some excellent dancers in Team Kateley!
