This term we will be learning about Pentecost and what happened after Jesus was taken off the cross. To start this unit we looked at what happened the days after Good Friday.

In Year 3 and 4 we had an Easter Bonnet Parade. There was a competition for the best hat, each class had one winner and there was an overall phase winner.

 

Congratulations to Emmanuel in Job class for his very inventive and interesting bonnet made out of an Angry Birds Baseball cap!

Think about your 5 senses. What are they?

Imagine you were in the rainforest. How would you feel? See? Smell? Taste? Hear?

Write a sentence with each sense to describe a rainforest. Make them interesting!

Try to include prepositional phrases.

Example

As I walked thorough the forest, I could see the brown furry monkeys swinging from one canopy to another.

The colorful parrot landed on the branch and opened its bright blue wings.

Easter Homework

Dear Parents of Year 3,

Next term our topic is Rainforests. We would like the children to make diorama about the rainforest. If possible please use a shoebox for this.

Please bring these in on Tuesday 25^th April, the first Tuesday when we return. There will be prizes for the best ones.

In addition to this please can you ensure your children practise their times tables (2, 5, 10, 3 and 4). There will be tests when we return.

 

Have a brilliant Easter and we will see you after the break!

Thanks,

Mr Everden and Miss Patel
