A great start!

It’s been a hectic and productive week. The class have settled well into a routine and are showing such an enthusiasm for learning. I wanted to mention a few children in particular who have really stood out in various lessons.

  • Dylan and Maja for superb team work in PE. They were able to show us some great balancing skills.
  • Isaac, Amrit, Danny and Manpreet for super place value work. All were keen to take on a challenge. Also, for being a great ‘buddy’ to others to aid their learning.
  • Josh for superb presentation in all his work.
  • Ishaan for great SEAL skills.
  • Finally, a huge welcome to Danny who has joined our class. Danny has settled well into his new school and has made a great start in all his learning.

Please note that PE is on Mondays and Thursdays. We have advised the children to bring their kits on a Monday and take them home on a Friday for a wash.

Once again, please feel free to pop in if you have any questions.

Welcome!

What a great start to a new year!

All the children returned to school today looking very smart and eager to learn. Well done to all for demonstrating a mature attitude on their return to school and the start of a new term. Keep it up!

There’s going to be plenty going on in class during the new term so be sure to stay tuned to our class page – there will be lots of news regarding our learning as well as handy hints and celebrating achievements.

If you need to contact us at any point, please feel free to pop in. Mr Owen and I are happy to help wherever we can.

We are both looking forward to getting to know the children, a year full of learning and even a bit of fun!

 

 

 

Farewell, Year 3

Well, it’s the end of our year and what a great one we have had. It has been an absolute pleasure to work in Year 3 and I will miss the children dearly. Throughout the year, I have been so impressed by improved behaviours, mature attitudes and impressive learning. I am incredibly proud of each and every child and have written a poem to give a quick mention to them all. Enjoy…

Well, Year 3, our work is done. Just look how far you’ve all come.

Edward, you make me smile every day, and with anyone you will play.

Fancy a challenge, then ask Nico. He’s never afraid to give it a go.

Always wanting a chat to share something new, Pippa, without this, what will I do?

Zack’s head is bursting with fascinating facts. Ask him a question and he’ll be quite exact.

Happy to always keep things fair, Grace, you should be proud of the amount you care.

Umaimah’s swimming has been great this year. You deserve a great big cheer.

Grinning from ear to ear, Aleena will always be a friend that’s near.

Matteo, you are such a good sport, an eager learner, a pleasure to have taught.

Noah, a happy chap who tries his best, not content to sit back and rest.

A great friend you will have in Stan, a popular boy with lots of fans.

Nishaan always gives his all, and my goodness how you’ve grown so tall.

Oliver is growing into a confident young man, his attitude is “I will if I can!”

Elias, always caring and kind, another like him would be hard to find.

With confidence oozing through her veins, Pavan is thriving and making  great gains.

Archie just loves to kick a ball, and if Leeds United are stuck they should give him a call.

Her reading has become an absolute joy, Pohnum, it’s a pleasure that I enjoy.

An amazing year this young man has had, Brandon, you are just a super lad.

A great character in Neive you will find, with super manners – if you don’t mind!

Daanyaal, you have worked hard all year. Your reading is just lovely to hear.

Megan you are a shining star. I have no doubt that you will go far.

Give this boy a ball and he is content. Abdullah, footballer in the making – I think that is meant.

Enthusiasm runs through him like a fire. Owen, keep working hard and never tire.

Determination through gritted teeth, Enya can tackle what lies underneath.

Hibba who works so very hard, has quite a sense of humour – a bit of a card.

Harry is a person who… is always willing to try something new.

You’ve come so far, Isobel. Well done! Just keep working on those tricky sums.

Saleem, a kind, gentle boy with manners to show. Keep up the good work and far you will go.

A chatty young man with lots to say, Sam, you’re progressing along the way.

Matthew can listen with a caring ear, and is willing to help those who are unclear.

And Zeewa, well what can I say? I will miss you each and every day.

Well done, Year 3. I’m proud of you all. And by golly we’ve had a ball!

 

Enjoy the summer and see you all in September!
