Assalaam alaikum to our Year 3 families
We have had a busy term and had many exciting activities and events. Our students have been working hard and many have shown great improvements in their maths, spelling, and reading. We would like to thank all our parents who support their children in all these areas at home, as it certainly makes a difference. Below we have included some of the highlights of this term to share with you.
Book Fair
Every year to raise money for our school library, we hold a Book Fair in our school library.
This event was run by our students and has included students applying for jobs, working, and advertising the event.
Learning about money in Maths this term has definitely come in use with many of our students also working as cashiers at the fair.
We were very impressed with the manners used by all and how helpful and professional everyone was in running the fair. This was a great experience for our students, and it has shown that we have some great up and coming small business owners among us.
Book Week Parade
I’m not sure who was more excited, the students or teachers at this event.
It was certainly one of the more colourful events on our calendar and it was wonderful to see all the costumes on our students and teachers!
Some of our students interviewed our teachers about their favourite books and all joined in with the teachers play. There will be many more photos to come but we have included a few below for you.
Art Competition
As part of Book Week, we ran an Art Competition.
Students were required to draw their favourite book character.
In Year 3 our winners were Amal and Abass. Congratulations to the both of them!
Year 3B
In Year 3B our students completed step by step drawings of fruits and vegetables as part of their Health lessons on healthy eating. They did an amazing job!
In celebration of science week this term our students made larva lamps.
We firstly researched the how and then tried a few different methods to see which was most successful. Some of our families also did this at home and it was great to see the videos that they shared with us. It was a very exciting lesson for us all and certainly one that has led to many questions and further investigations.
Thank you to all our parents who supported us by supplying the jars and some ingredients.
Quran Competition
We have never been more impressed with our student’s behaviour on this day. Our students sat quietly and respectfully and listened and supported their classmates who were in the competition.
The students all did very well, and we are looking forward to seeing the outcome of this.
We were very proud of our students who entered and also of their peers for supporting them.
R U OK Day
Thursday, 9th of September was R U Ok day.
Our students discussed the best way to support their classmates and the difference between listening and helping.
Our students were encouraged to nominate classmates who they thought was supportive and these students were awarded at the end of the day:
- Mohannad,
- Khadija,
- Faiza and
- Adyan.
As you can see the term was certainly exciting and actioned packed.
We would like to thank our students for all their enthusiasm and hard work this term and wish you all a happy and safe holiday.
