3S

Hello, We in 3S thought we would give you a little update into what we have been doing since we last wrote to you.It has been a busy time in our class since the last time we wrote, especially last half term.

LITERACY

In Literacy we have been writing letters this week, and have learnt the difference between Formal and informal letters. Before that we had fun learning about Authors especially Dick King-Smith, we read lots of his books and saw some really interesting videos about his life. We even wrote our own Dick King-Smith story in Big write.

NUMERACY

In Numeracy we have been finding out about new ways of Subtracting, Adding, Dividing and Multiplying. Everybody in the class has their own favourite method to use, but we have learnt new and exciting ways to do our calculations and these have really helped us with our numeracy work.

TOPIC

As part of our Ancient worlds topic we went to Manchester Museum and discovered some amazing objects, we liked the items so much that we decided to dedicate our whole topic towards creating our own. We did lots of research about ancient times and used this work to create a story, in our storys we had to include a magical object from history. We had great fun, making the objects, deciding what they were, thinking about who used them and why they were important to us. This all culminated in the 3S class assembley, where we showed off all of our objects and  re-told the story of one of our objects by performing  a play.

This half term we have began to look at answering the question ‘Who is awake whilst we are sleeping?’ So far this has been really interesting, we have looked at many places in the world where people are awake whilst we are in bed. We have also looked at animals that are awake at night and people who do their jobs during the night.

Other lessons we have been enjoying are, Our ICT where we are having fun learning about Simulations and R.E where we have recently began to learn more about Islam.

GOODBYE  AMBRIN

We were Sad to see Ambrin leave our class last term, we all enjoyed having her in the classroom but we know she has gone to another good school and we hope she enjoys it there. She came in to visit us recently and it was good to see her big smile in 3S once again.

We look forward to writing to you again, we hope you ave enjoyed finding out what goes on in our class.

Goodbye

In Key Stage 2 we get the opportunity to have more of a say in what happens in our school. We choose some of the children to represent us and our views. We have 3  representatives for different areas of the school.

We held class elections to choose who we thought was best for each role. Each candidate prepared and then read out a statement telling us why they would be good to do the job, we then decided who we thought would best represent 3S and did a secret vote, here are the 3 elected representatives for 3S.

School Counsellor:

Ismail Miah

To be on the school council is a big honour, it is upto this person to represent the classes views to the rest of the school. This person must stand up in front of lots of other older children and teachers and discuss the views of 3S. We needed someone who was not afraid to speak their mind, who would listen to other childrens arguments and report back to the class about what was said at the meeting. We chose Ismail, because he gave a wonderful speech and convinced us he would stand up for our class and try to get our opinion heard.

Eco-Schools:

Maisha Choudhury

This job involves being part of a group of children who work together to make sure the school is eco friendly, and that we take part in initiatives to make the school and surrounding areas a better place to be. We needed an active representative who would be good at getting things done and always help out. We chose Maisha because she is always in, and always tries hard with everything she does.

Healthy schools:

Asim Mulk

Healthy schools is a new group that has been formed to meet the new health push that schools have been trying to implement. The child who is on this panel must be interested in this area and want to live a healthy lifestyle. We chose Asim because he is an active boy who enjoys sports, eating healthy and living healthy too.

We felt these 3 children would help us give our opinions the best, although there are many other children in the class who could do the jobs brilliantly as well.

Hello and welcome to the wonderful class that is 3S!

This is our first post of the year and we think we should tell you how we feel about being in year 3.

At the beginning of the year we felt many different emotions.

Atiya Mahboob ” I can’t remember how I felt, but I was nervous about moving into year 3.”

Zain Nadeem ” I was really excited before about going into year 3 because it shows I’m getting older.”

Suraj ‘Sunny’ Singh “I was a bit nervous about being in a new class with a new teacher but everybody in the class was so nice that i soon felt very happy.”

Shahima Uddin “I was excited because I was getting a nice new teacher who  would be kind” (“That’s what she thinks” – Mr. Sherring)

Asim Mulk ” I was proud because it showed I was growing up and going into Key stage 2,  I looked forward to doing harder work and learning new things.”

Now after a whole term in school let’s see how our emotions and thoughts have changed.

Ismail Miah “I am really happy because I have learnt a lot,I have especially enjoyed learning about Fire and Ice. I am looking forward to exploding our volcanoes.”

Zara Ali ” I am happy at school, my favourite lesson is Topic, I can’t wait to learn about our new topic, ‘What in the world is bigger than Mr Corteen’.”

Areeba Aamir “I’m  so happy with the way the year has started, I have made lots of new friends in my class. ”

We hope you have enjoyed our first article, there are many more to follow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
