Hello everyone,

This week, in Literacy, we have been on an adventure all over the world looking for Charlie's underpants. This has involved learning about Paris, Peru, Nepal and the Serengeti in Africa.

in Maths, we have been learning about the three and four times tables, getting ready for the juniors.

We have also enjoyed extra P.E this week as we start Athletics. We have some brilliant sprinters, Shot Putters and Javelin throwers in our class.

Please remember that next week is transition week next week. The class will be going to year three for the whole week so your children will need to be dropped off at the Year 3/4 entrance. Children will come out at 3:15 as opposed to 3:10 for all of next week.

Enjoy your week in Year 3 next week!

Then we went to the aquarium where we learned about sea life which swims and walks. After lunch, we went on a tour which involved visiting the Bug House and the Egyptian Centre where we saw a REAL Mummy! Thank you to all of the parents who came to help out! We couldn't have done it without you.

On Friday, we had a visit from Fencing and Cycling Paralympian Craig McCann come in and inspire us to say 'Yes' to every opportunity we get given. We have taken part in sponsored sporting activities throughout the morning and it has been really fun.
