Riva: has impressed staff throughout the week this week, starting with her English work. After working hard on her shared writing, Riva threw herself into her peer editing work. She used the checklist to carefully identify what she had included in her writing, before selecting elements of her work to improve. She then used the checklist to identify what she hadn’t yet included and made a real effort to add these elements to her writing. Riva is also getting star of the week for her maturity and empathy towards her peers. During the school trip to Creswell Crags, Riva was noticed by many members of staff for her support, kindness and inclusion towards her peers when they were finding the day a challenge. She encouraged them to engage in the task and tried her best to cheer them up. Keep up the good work, Riva, we are really proud of you.

Kitty: has really impressed with maths this week. Class 3 have been learning the column method of subtraction. Initially, Kitty found this really challenging, but she persevered, working with the adults in class and using manipulatives to support her. Now she is one of the first with her hand up to explain the next step of the method and to give her answer.

Teddy: is getting star of the week for a few reasons. Firstly, Teddy is an always child, he can always be relied on to follow the golden rules, he is always making the right choices and he embodies the school values. He has had a fantastic first half-term in Class 3 and we are really proud of everything he is doing. He wrote a fantastic newspaper report in English. Teddy threw himself into this learning and carefully crafted his newspaper report, taking on the advice from adults and editing and improving his first draft. We were really impressed with his final piece.

Jasper: has made a fantastic start to this half-term. He has come back with such a positive attitude to learning and has been so caring and helpful towards both his peers and adults in the classroom. He has worked particularly hard during maths where Class 3 have been learning to do the column method of addition with exchanges. Jasper has also been making a real effort to put up his hand when he wants to share his many fantastic ideas. Keep up the good work Jasper, we are so proud.

Aza and Lola: for their fantastic independent news paper reports. They listened carefully during the shared write and then independently worked on their big write where they wrote a newspaper report about the discovery of Skara Brae. I was impressed with some of their language choices and the effort that they had put in to their writing. A big well done!

Imogen: has really impressed in her writing since joining class 3. She works hard to include the class 3 grammatical features and has produced a fantastic few paragraphs for her newspaper report. She is working hard on her handwriting and has been practising at home.

Daniel: The class 3 team are really proud of the resilience and perseverance Daniel has shown despite his broken arm. He has worked really hard on his learning, he has made sure that his learning is still of a high quality, and he is still making sure that he is getting involved in his learning. What a trouper!

Emma: the staff in year 3 have been blown away with the start Emma has made in class 3. She is doing lots of reading at home, she is working hard during writing lessons to build sentences and she has been working hard on her independent tuff tray tasks. Keep up the good work Emma.

Iris - In English this week Class 3 have been writing their own narrative based on their class book Stone Age Boy. Iris really enjoyed reading the story and thinking of her own ideas during the build up to our writing. This week, during the drafting element of our writing process, Iris worked hard to incorporate the Class 3 writing features in her piece of work and thought carefully about the journey of the character. She was also noticed for putting her hand up during our writing lessons to share her ideas. A great start to writing in Class 3, well done Iris.

Lucy - What a star! Lucy has made such a good impression since joining Class 3. She is always ready to learn. She always has everything she needs, and she can be relied upon to give her best in every lesson. She puts her hand up to participate and give answers and is a good learning partner, supporting her peers and helping them to make the right choices.

Joshua - I am really proud of this young man. He hasn’t stopped him trying his best. When working with Mrs Wilkinson during writing, Joshua was thinking of some fantastic sentences. In maths, he has been developing his independence, thinking carefully about the place value of ones, and the value of numbers to 20. Keep up this hard work Joshua, we know you can do it.

Oaklan: has made a fantastic start to Class 3. He is enthusiastic to learn, puts his hand up to answer questions and he is hard-working. When his learning partner had been out of class at times this week, he took responsibility as a learning partner to support her with the task she had missed, showing what a kind and helpful young man he is.

Ahamad: What a first impression Ahmad has made with all of the staff in Class 3. He has consistently shown since day one that he always listens, is always ready to learn and always tries his best. Our school value this week is responsibility and I cannot think of a better example of someone who takes responsibility for his learning. He always has everything that he needs, he is the first one to be ready and makes sure that he knows what he needs to do. Keep up the good work Ahmad.
