P.E. Session

 In our outdoor P.E. session last week we ran part of the daily mile, before choosing our own activities and equipment to create small team games. These included basketball, football, various throwing and catching games and even hula hooping, helping us to become 'Healthy Confident Individuals'.  

Dances

As part of our topic work, we worked in groups to create our own 1950's & 1960's dance. Our routines are inspired by dances such as the Bop, Hand Jive, Bunny Hop, Chicken Head and the Pony. We hope you enjoy watching.

Return to school

 We are very excited (as I’m sure are you) to have the children return to school on Monday 15 th

March 2021. We would like to settle the children as quickly as possible back into a routine and as

part of this would like the children to wear their school uniform please.

There have been some changes to the arrangements for your child’s class. So please read the

following information. 

MRS KING

Start time- 8:50am-9am via middle gate Lanwern Rd

Collection time 2:50-3pm via middle gate Lanwern Rd

 Mrs King’s class will be dismissed from the small yard area outside the class.

 Please form an orderly, socially distanced queue from the class yard gate and down the

ramp next to the railings and along the building.

 Please do not cut through Mrs Davies Cox’s yard as you will be going against the one way

traffic as you join the queue on the ramp.

 Siblings from Mrs Davies Cox’s class will be brought to you on the bottom yard.

 Please move to the collection waiting area for siblings in the top block or exit the school via

the park gates.

Please do not wait in the path of the one way system.

Younger siblings already collected MUST NOT run around in the collection waiting area. Please

keep them next to you and avoid them mixing with other children on the yard as this compromises

the bubbles we work hard to maintain during the school day. Staff will be on the yard to support

you in the collection waiting area.

All other KS2 classes will be brought out a class at a time from the top door (near park gates) of the

top block. Please remain in the collection waiting area until your child’s name is called. Please exit

the school as quickly as possible or return to the collection zone if you have other children to collect.

We appreciate your patience as we are aware that this may take a little longer than usual to collect

your children. We hope that this will provide a more orderly way of collecting your children whilst

keeping everyone safe.

Please continue to wear your masks on the school site, if you do not have a medical exemption and

please ensure only 1 responsible adult comes onto the school site at drop and collection times.

Please contact the school if you have any questions regarding the return on Monday.

 Please check j2homework on hwb for this week's work. If you have problems accessing please email

Thankyou

Science

For Science we have been trying to find out why the Arctic sea level is rising. We tested three sensible suggestions (hypotheses).

We made our predictions before using some simple equipment to help us.

At the end of our investigation we found out that  warmer Arctic seas and melting ice on the land, causes the sea level to go up. However, melting sea ice does not make the sea level rise.

We also had lots of fun on the yard with ice cubes!

Well year three, we have finally arrived at the last week of term.

What an unusual year it has been! You have been an excellent

class and I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching you.

For those of you who were able to come back to school,

it has been wonderful to see you smiling, laughing and

spending time with your friends. For those of you at home,

I’ve missed seeing you but thank you for continuing to share

all your lovely work with me.  

I want to say a huge thank you to all the parents.

You have been amazing! You have given up your precious time,

you have given encouragement and you have shown

tremendous patience during this very difficult year.

Please know that it is very much appreciated.   

Here is the grid for the final week of term.

Some of the tasks have links for you to click.

If you have trouble with these, I have also put them

on j2homework.  

For one more week, please keep checking your ‘My Files’ folder

on Just2easy. If you see speech bubbles, read them,

and reply to me if you wish.

J2message is also there for everyone to stay in touch.

Please continue to send any photos to Mrs Davies,

This is a picture of Will with his Bug House Hotel at Barry Sidings. 

Jorja wrote about Koala bears for Mrs King and really enjoyed researching it all. So shedshe to make a Koala bear out of Lego. Jorja had no instructions on paper and had to follow a YouTube video.

Did you know that as Koalas eat so many eucalyptus leaves, they also smell like it!  and Koalas are not bears but are closely related to kangaroos and Wombats!

Jorja is going to try a lego Seahorse and Whale next. 😍❤️
