Year 3 – Oak Class

A very busy end to the half-term!

27/5/2022

Hello everyone!

Wow - what a busy week we've had in Oak class!  From plants, to a Jubilee tea party, it's been an exciting end of the term.

In Science recently, we have been learning about plants and the important things they need to grow.  We started an experiment a few weeks ago, and placed some sunflower seeds in either a pot on the windowsill, and or pot in the cupboard.  And guess what happened..?  The plants in the cupboard did grow, but soon wilted and snapped!  On Thursday, we planted the remaining sunflowers into one of our raised beds, along with some from Year 2.  We'll keep an eye on them, and hopefully see them grow into some beautiful sunflowers!

We've also been continuing our topic in Maths.  This week I gave the children a question - which is greater, a half or a third?  The children had to explain why they knew a half is a greater fraction than a third...using chocolate bars!  The children were able to explain that the greater the denominator, the smaller the fraction.

On Friday morning, Year 3 were lucky enough to be the audience members for some presentations which the Year 6's had prepared.  Year 6 have been learning about the respiratory system, and taught the Year 3's about the journey an air particle goes on to reach the lungs.  They also told about how to help a person who may be having difficulty breathing, or an asthma attack.  The year 6's were brilliant, and we all learnt from them!

The highlight of the week was Friday afternoon - our Afternoon Tea to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee!  It was fantastic to see all the children in their finery.  With the perfect weather, we spent the afternoon outside, along with some special guests from the Chagford Memory Café.  The children all had scones with jam and cream, and squash which they thoroughly enjoyed - lots were asking for seconds!  We sang songs, played bingo, and also created our own 'Chagford Canopy' to contribute towards the Queen's Green canopy.  Every child provided a handprint leaf for the tree, and we added these to the tree during the party - it will be on display in school, and it looks fabulous!  The children also all received a special Jubilee bookmark to commemorate the occasion.  (If you were away today, you'll get yours after half-term!) Thank you for the PTFA for supporting the party, and thank you to our visitors from the Memory café for visiting us!

After half-term, we return to school on Tuesday 7th June.  We will be starting swimming lessons on the first day back, so please ensure you bring your swimming things on the first day.  I'll send out some more information about swimming next week!

I hope you all have a wonderful half-term, and see you soon!
Miss Paddon
