Heron - Miss Chandler | Shenfield St Mary's C of E Primary School

Fabulous Finish 2019. Thank you to all the parents who attended and to the wonderful children for all of their hard work. A great way to end the year all together!

PRAYER SPACE: The children were thinking carefully about the concept of 'I Am.' They reflected carefully on the people who meant most to them and the Fruits of the Spirit which they needed to work on, thought about their hopes and wishes for the future, as well as create flames for the Burning Bush to show God's words of 'I am who I am.' The children also loved rubbing with crayons on the church's doorway to show that 'God is the gateway to freedom.'

Fabulous Finish

Year 3 Fabulous Finish will take place on Friday 12th July at 2:00pm. Please wait by the office and Mrs Mellish will let you in. The children can wear whatever they want with their t-shirt (shorts, skirts, leggings, trousers). The more colourful, the better! We look forward to seeing you. Miss Chandler and Miss Dodd

Spellings for Week 16

Homework 06.06.19. Please practise x7, x8, x9, and x12 times tables because we have identified that these are the hardest for the children to remember under timed conditions.

Deadline to bring in your t-shirt: Friday 21st June.

Homework 24.01.19. A reminder about reading. Please ensure your child is reading as widely as possible across fiction and non-fiction books. They should be reading daily and recording in their purple diary signed by a parent. Thank you!

Spellings for Week 3

The children are making Roman chariots in DT. Please can you start collecting this size box at home. Bring it in as soon as possible. A shoebox is too big! This smoothie box is PERFECT!

Homework 17.01.19. The hand in day is Wednesday. We are giving the children a chance to recap on the x2 and x4 times table because we believe they will help when learning the x8 tables. We will be introducing the x7 times table if you want to make a start though!

Spellings Week 2 of our new trial scheme. Remember everyone has the same spellings.

Heron Class have been working on their contractions!

We have been working together recently to check our understanding of division. We have had lots of fun in our practical maths lessons!

From now on, homework is going to be given out on Thursdays. Your child will need to give it back in on Wednesdays. This is due to our staff meetings changing to a Thursday. Thank you for your understanding.

Spellings: We are trialling some different spelling schemes at the moment. Everyone has the same spellings until further notice.

STUNNING STARTER: Heron Class had lots of fun pretending to have some chariot races today!

Heron Class have been extremely busy being Santa's elves and they have created some new inventions. This morning, the children have presented their new creations to the class and we have been treated to: a flying turtle, a remote control which can make anything you like, the present maker with bubblegum bubbles, hover boots, a flying chocolate elf and the amazing caterfly! Our favourite invention was... THE PRESENT MAKER WITH BUBBLEGUM BUBBLES! Well done to everyone for your imaginative ideas!

It's Christmas Jumper Day today and what better way to spend it than the children playing all of their WONDERFUL times table games they have made for homework. They really are brilliant and it is clear that the children have worked hard on them. Well done Heron Class!

Egyptian Shadufs: For their DT this term, the children have designed and created Egyptian shadufs. A shaduf is an irrigation tool used by farmers to move water from lower to higher ground. They created them using K'Nex first before moving onto dowel, blu-tac and elastic bands. Take a look!

The children researched their own Egyptian god in groups and presented their information to the class. After many attempts, we voted for our god and I'm afraid we can not decide on just one god. So... Heron class' favourite Egyptian gods are... SETH AND HORUS!

Revolting Rhymes Performance Poetry

The children had lots of fun looking at the digestive system although it was quite disgusting as you can see for yourselves!

Homework 30.11.18. There are no CGP pages to complete this week. The children still need to learn spellings and division facts but instead have taken home song words to rehearse for the production. Your child also has been given a letter about costumes for productions. Could you please make sure costumes are in a named bag by Thursday 6th December. Thank you. Miss Chandler and Miss Dodd.

Homework 23.11.18 - Now the children have learnt their times tables from x2 to x6, we will now be testing the children on their DIVISION facts as well as their times tables. Remember the times tables tests are random so the children should be learning them out of order too!

Christmas has started early in Heron class. The children wanted a Christmas disco for their treat today!

A lovely rendition of Jingle Bells for you all to enjoy! Take it away, Herons!

Homework 16.11.18

Apologies Year 3,

You need to complete page 28 and page 29 of your SPAG books for homework this week (week 8). It was my mistake for putting the same pages as the previous week!

Miss Chandler.

Ancient Egyptian Day: Egyptian history, artefacts, quizzes, games, mummification and hunting! It was an excellent day!

Heron Class Assembly (Egyptians)

Homework 08.11.18. Last reminder: It is Ancient Egyptian Day on Monday 12th November. The children can come to school in their costumes!

Homework 02.11.18. Dear Parents/Carers, In Year 3, we are encouraging the children to read more regularly. Now they are in KS2 they can read independently but should also be reading to you. Could you please ensure their purple reading diary comes in daily and is signed by you regularly? Also, we are introducing weekly times tables tests so please look out for which tables need to be learnt. Thank you! Please also find the class assembly costume list attached below.
