Gwyn Jones Primary School

There are lots of people who will be helping you to grow and learn along your learning journey. Ms Rochester- Bergamini (3M) and Ms McKenzie (3S) will be helped by Ms Voges who will be the shared class TA and Ms Seraphin, who will be working as a 1:1 in 3S. We want all the children to try their best and work together to make the learning fun for everyone!

PE day: P.E is taught twice a week

3S - Tuesday and Friday

3M - Monday and Tuesday

Our key question is: Would you like to be a chocolatier?

Please ensure that your child's P.E kit is labelled with their name and stays in school to avoid missing out on P.E activities. The children will take their P.E kits home in the last week of term. 

Reading Records: Any time your child has read with an adult, there will be a comment in their reading record. Please can you ensure that your child brings in their reading record each day. We would like to encourage you to continue reading daily with your child.  

Our core book that we shall focus on in English is: Oliver and the Seawigs by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre. The key words for this book are: mermaid, friend, island, seawig, explorer and competition.

For World Book Day this year, the theme was to 'Share a Story'. 

We dressed up as out favourite book characters and were read a different book by different adults around the school. 

Later that day, we focused on the author Oliver Jeffers. We read and listened to many of his books, and discussed what we like about them. After, we learnt how to draw like him, and so created our own stories. 

At the end of the day, we had a musical story, where we used instruments to show a character's emotion. 

We are looking forward to the nect World Book Day.

This half term, we will be focusing on Chocolate. We will be having two chocolate WOW days. Our first WOW day was a huge success, and the children learnt about the process of chocolate and where around the world it is grown. They dressed up as either farmers or chocolate business managers to help discuss fairtrade. 

The children will be working really hard to develop their handwriting and making sure their work is neatly presented.  

In Maths, we will be learning about measure including: length, capacity, weight/mass, area and perimeter as well as converting to 24 hour time. 

The children will be learning French as part of KS2 curriculum.
