We prepared our
sketch; based on Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory, we performed at the Key Stage 2 assembly. [This is part
of the “Reading List” initiative.] and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole process!
Please read some comments by the children;
Olivia – “It was
really exciting having a chance to tell the story of Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory.”
Rosa – “We enjoyed
getting ready by learning our lines.”
Raphael – “We all had to learn our parts and think of
actions to make it really good!”
Noa - “I think that we all had a good time.”
“…….and we all did our best !” added Alex.
On Monday we will be making our own chocolates as an exit point
for this topic.
Next term we will have two new topics; “Turn it up!” and “Paintings, Pictures and Photographs” . The
focus of these two topics will be on light, colour and sound.
Maths
We looked, found and recorded
examples of Right angles, acute angles and obtuse angles. We used the IPad’s to measure and to photograph angles around the classroom.
The children have developed good ICT skills.
They very quickly apply their experience of working regularly with the laptop to be able to cut, paste, type in text and save in folders on the IPads – I am very pleased with you all Year 3 Sahara Boys and Girls. See photos of our exploring angles.
Literacy
Playscripts
were our focus this week. We used familiar stories and turned these into
playscripts - it seemed quick and fairly easy to understand the format. We had
our own playscript to work on too which helped develop their sense and
understanding – nice work!
Other
On Wednesday we had two ISTA drama teachers working
with Year Three and the rest of the primary school. During three separate
sessions the children explored drama through story-telling and music. The
children were very excited by the whole experience!
We very much enjoyed watching Year 2 Blueberry assembly
yesterday. We found their performance “Room on the Broom” very interesting and
fun.
Equally as entertaining to watch was the dress
rehearsal of BISB’s 1950s music show. Lots of talent on stage – well done
everyone involved with the successful event.
Next week we have our usual swimming session [
Wednesday ] after the Swimming Gala on
Tuesday 15th April.
A meeting to discuss the trip and
to answer general questions about Year 3
Camp is
on Monday 14th April 8:15 a.m. in Year 3 Lemon classroom
BISB PTA Spring Fun Day is on Saturday 12th
April – see

We hope you have a fun weekend.
