Our New Big Quiestion this half term is ‘What did the Romans do for us? What do already know about the Romans and what would you like to learn about?

I found this calligram on the internet and thought it was very clever.

Our Autumn 2 Big Question is: Why was Manchester once one of the most Important cities in the world?
During this Big Question we will be answering the following Questions:
• Why did people choose to settle in Chorlton?
• Can we find out what Chorlton used to be like?
• How did Manchester change between 1750 and 1840?
• What was it like to be a worker in the cotton mills in Ancoats during the Industrial Revolution?
• What can we learn about the Industrial Revolution by visiting Ancoats and MOSI?

If you have any expertise or information you would like to share with us relating to this Big question then please let us know.

Year three children were transformed into Pirates on Tuesady 11th October. They created their own treasure maps with fantastic instructions which led their parents/ carers around the school in search of treasure. They built their own treasure chests, parrots, split pin pirates and more. They even sang some great pirate songs. A great day was had by all which I am sure you can see by the pictures

Thank you to all who were involved and making the children some fantastic costumes.

We would like to invite you to our Pirate celebration morning to take part in a treasure hunt which is taking place on Tuesday 11th October.

Your child has been creating their very own set of instructions just for you which will lead you around the school in order for you to find your treasure. Each class will start their treasure hunt at a different time (please see the times below). We purposely started these treasure hunts after play in case parents wanted to attend the Maths Makes Sense meeting which is taking place at 9.15 am in the infant hall (there is also another meeting at 6.00pm after school).

Treasure Hunt Timetable

10.30 – 11.00: 3RM
11.00 – 11.30: 3AM
11.15 – 11.45: 3LO

For those parents/carers not attending this meeting there will be pirate related activities in each class from 9.00am and a fashion show at 9.50am in the music studio, on the Year 3 corridor, and you are more than welcome to join us.

Children are encouraged to come in dressed as Pirates to get the most out of the day and celebrate their hard work and learning during their first half term in Year 3.

We hope to see as many parents/ carers join us throughout the morning. Please make sure that you sign in when you get to your child’s classroom so that you can receive a visitors sticker.

Hope to see you on the 11th October

The Year 3 Team

You have now spent nearly four weeks in Year 3…….how quickly time flies when you’re having fun

Why not write a quick post to tell us what you make of your first few weeks in Key Stage 2.

We went to Manchester Airport to have a look at what jobs you may find at an airport. We also went on board an old section of a Monarch airplane. We got to dress up and go onto the flightdeck. We also watched different types of planes taking off and land. We EVEN got to have a look at concorde! Enjoy the show.

in glee are song is katy perry and here are the lyirics to the song.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
Cause there’s a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gunna leave ‘em fallin’ down-own-own

You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you’re reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it’s time, you’ll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what you’re worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em all in awe-awe-awe”

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through

Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you’re a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em all in awe-awe-awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
