News Year 3

Today at WHJUN we brought back the Reading Breakfast! (it had been a little while).

In Year 3, we have been studying the book ‘Jemmy Button’ by  Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali. 

We are delighted that our gardening club is now up and running.

This week I have seen lots of lovely examples of children’s writing.

At Ecclesbourne we would like to say a massive thank you to Lidl who have been helping us with our breakfast provision. 

This week we have been thinking about thinking critically. We know that critical thinking requires you to use your ability to reason (one of our learning powers!).

A while back we posted the news story below about reading and our favourite places to read. 

We were so excited to come to school on Monday! There was quite a thick blanket of snow on the ground – amazing fun to play in (a health and safety nightmare for Mr Stewart and Mr Cheyne!).

Recently, year 3 have been studying Aesop’s fables.  We have discussed the features of a fables and what makes them different from fairy tales as well as learning about what a moral is and how the fables convey these morals. 

The cold snap brought the opportunity for the children at Ecclesbourne to get outside and play in the snow. 

Children throughout EPS have put on excellent performances in their respective Christmas shows. 

This week we have spent time thinking about how resourceful we are in the classroom.

Results from the previous Big Debate #4- Should we sweep leaves on our streets?

As you know, Seve came to see us last week. He really enjoyed the cuddles and strokes that he received while at the Upper School.
