Mrs Ponter
Well, what a busy week we've had!
Lots of things have been happening in Year 3, as you can see from the blog updates!
It was a pleasure to meet with parents on Tuesday to discuss the fantastic progress that the pupils are making. All of the children work extremely hard and I am very proud of what they have achieved so far this year - it is always a privilege to share and celebrate these achievements during open evenings.
There are still a few slots available for parents' evening on Thursday, 15th March, so please do make an appointment to see me if you can. It is a chance for you to have a look at the wonderful work your son/daughter has done.
Animal mini-projects!
This week the children started their own mini-project on "animals". They are carrying out their own research, with the aim of producing a non-fiction text which will include a front cover, contents page, index and glossary. We have been using spider-diagrams to highlight, summarise and record key information, as well as grouping related information into sub-headings, which can then be used to form paragraphs.
If you do have the chance to visit the local library over the next few days it would be a great opportunity for you son/daughter to find some non-fiction books on animals. Perhaps they would like to share them with the rest of the class?
North Yorkshire library has a good on-line search facility....

Class LP animation!
This week at the ICT suite the children had the opportunity to create their own animations.........here are a few of them.
Unfortunately some of the directors forgot to include their initials on the movie credits, so perhaps members of Class LP will recognise their own animations!
