The Robins have had a very busy week this week!!

We have worked really hard on our maths this week – we were given some numbers like 24 and 28 and had to work out all the multiples!

Can you help us?

We also worked hard to match a lot of multiplication questions to their answer!

In English this week we worked with the Year 4’s to discuss our writing of a Diary Entry. We read each others work and offered them some feedback. This was very helpful for both classes so we could see how well both classes are doing!

Today we have had a onesie and pj’s non uniform day! It is so nice to see everyone getting involved and donating so many wonderful things! It is also lovely to see some very festive items of clothing, helping us all to feel festive and to start getting excited about Christmas!

Keep working hard Robins!

Have a lovely weekend!

What a week!! Robins have been fantastic and I am super proud of their achievements!

Today we have been celebrating and raising money for Children in Need. We have had a non-uniform day and a lot of us have been wearing spots or stripes.

We have a lot of funky head wear going on as well!

These are some of the reasons why we think Children in Need is such an important charity to be supporting;

‘We show others who may not have a very nice life that we care about them’  – Evie

‘Children in need gives them the chance to live a life like our life and not a terrible life’ – George

‘We raise money to show that we care’ – Ava S

‘Children in need helps all children to need a bit of extra help in the UK’ – Ella-Mae

I think you will agree these are perfect reasons for showing others a bit of support and compassion! Helping us to develop empathy for all.

We have also had some fantastic football coaching today thanks to a coach from West Brom.

‘I liked the game of cowboys and indians that we played, teaching us how to dribble and dodge’ – Mia

‘ We got to learn new skills in a fun and interesting way’ Logan

‘I liked the skills we learnt through playing ‘sharks and surfers” – Ailie.

 

What a fantastic way to finish off a busy but amazing week!

This week for the Robins class has been all about reflecting.

We have been looking at our work and how to make it even better, spending time on our English work, writing some fantastic letters back to a wonderful person called Orla. – Again we still cannot give away too much information! – Top secret stuff!

We have also finished off our addition and subtraction in Maths – for now and have moved on to learning about multiplication and division.

We are super mathematicians and can work out our division calculations from our multiplications!

eg – 3 x 3 = 9 so 9 ÷ 3 = 3

We have been reflecting on the past, particularly with this weekend, remembering those who fought for their country. Robins spoke very movingly about Rev. Peter’s assembly on Thursday and the impact that it had on them! Producing some lovely posters all about Remembrance and what it means to everyone.

It is always lovely to reflect upon our learning and to watch the class grow!

What are you reflecting on this week and weekend?

Have a great weekend.

Maybe it’s because it is Halloween week, but strange things have been happening in Robins class, things have been going missing all over the school and have turned up in some very unusual spaces. We have been writing stories to see if these help….cryptic we know, but we cannot share very much about it, or it won’t work. We planned it carefully step by step before creating it.

‘In Maths we have been super subtractors and worked our socks off’ – EW

‘I like using the column method’ AJ

We have looked at some difficult subtractions that involve borrowing numbers! But we really are superb Mathematicians and have aced it.

We are also beginning to look at a new topic: Big Thanks to Mrs Walkley for her incredible creativity!!!

‘Our reading corner has been turned into a cave!’ -BH

‘ We are learning about the Stone Age and caves were a big part of their lives’ – AL, DH

We are going to be creating our own cave art on the walls of our cave!

Do you know why people painted pictures on caves? What were they about?

 

Have a good weekend! Robins. x

This week we have been learning all about an old book that Mrs Beck bought in. We thought it was an older book as the pages looked dusty and worn out.

‘The book was magical’ – Daniel.

‘We can’t wait to see what happens next’ – Mia and Evie.

‘The book was about two people called Abe and Alba who were very mischievous and liked having adventures’ – Mable.

‘I have no idea where the book originally came from, I have never seen it before. It has been a superb book to explore as a class.’ – Mrs Beck

We can’t tell you any more at this moment, but we will update you next time – Keep your eyes open!

 

We have also enjoyed a taster session of Basketball with the Leicester Riders. We learnt a lot in just a short space of time and can’t wait to practice what we have learnt.

‘ I enjoyed having a go at dribbling and learning how to control the basketball’ – Noah.

‘ I enjoyed working with my friends in a game’ – George.

 

What a great first week back – lots more to come – Robins

 

 

We have had a very, very busy few weeks, and we are super proud of all we have achieved this half term.

Here are some of our favourite bits:

I liked writing about the Iron Man in my English book.  -AM

I loved learning about past and present tense. – EW

I really enjoyed learning about life in the olden days. – EMF

I liked learning about Robots and how they work. – RC

We’ve all loved learning the four timestable using the song. – GH

Some of the Robin girls played football with Year 4 against other schools. They had a great afternoon and brought back a trophy. Well done, girls.

We wish everyone a great half term holiday. Have a lovely time!

What a great few weeks we have had Robins!

This week we have been exploring more of our text The Iron Man and thinking about where he may have come from?

We have found a really catchy 4 times tables song! Have a listen and see what you think!

We also had a lovely PE session where the Year 4’s organised different activities for us to take part in and helped us! Thank you for such a lovely time!

Robins have enjoyed spending time in the Life Education bus as well this week, we learnt all about the brain, its functions and all the different jobs that it is needed for!!

Looking forward to another fun filled and learning packed week next week!

Super proud of how you have all started off Year 3 , Robins!!

On Sunday 1^st July 6 girls from years 4, 3 and 2 played at Asfordby Amateurs Football Club in the under 9’s competition.

There were 4 other teams taking part, Gaddesby, Harby, Brownlow and Swallowdale.

The team won five games and drew one, conceding only one goal in the whole tournament.

The girls played fantastically on what was an extremely hot day, showing great courage and team spirit.

The finals went to penalties, with the result of 2 penalties out of five to each team, and then onto sudden death penalties, which resulted in the Asfordby team winning a further 2 penalties to the one scored by Brownlow.

Well done all!

All about this week;  a Robin’s account by Hallie and Scarlett.

This week has been fun filled, enjoyable and at times difficult.

On Monday morning we had sports day, it was enjoyable for everyone that took part and it was nice to see everyone having fun.

We have been doing tests this week, which have been tricky but everyone worked hard, didn’t strop and we should all be very proud of what we have achieved this week.

On Wednesday we got to spend the morning with Steve Skidmore our reading patron, we learnt about how to plan and construct an interesting and creative story about superheroes. He also gave us a little insight into his imagination and how he comes up with his ideas.

In the afternoon we conducted our science experiment. We made homemade lava lamps, we were looking at the density of water and oil and how when a fizzy tablet is put in the water and oil react.

On Thursday we showed our experiment to the rest of the school – The Great Science Share. Everyone liked it and were impressed with our experiment.

We liked the Year 6 experiment where they were trying to investigate which can contained beans and which cans contained other things, all by shaking, rolling and feeling the weight of the cans.

Today we have finished our tests and this afternoon we have been predicting and measuring the capacity of different objects from around the school.

We have enjoyed this week very much, we hope you have a lovely weekend with your lovely but noisy children – good luck.

Your Robin’s News reporters for this week – Hallie Wade and Scarlett Radford.

Yesterday Robins and Chaffinches enjoyed a much deserved trip out to Yorkshire Wildlife Park!

We absolutely loved exploring all the different animals and their habitats.

We saw everything from Lions to Polar Bears! It was such a fantastic and informative day out!

Big thankyou to all the volunteers and staff that helped make it such a fantastic day!

I honestly could have stayed there for years!!

   

What a brilliant end to a fabulous half term!

So proud of you all Robins! Keep it up for the last half term before summer!

Enjoy the week off!
