Year 3 @ Brookburn

As it is book week in school at the moment, and we are all involved in lots of book related activities, I thought it would be nice to share some of your favourite books with each other.

One of my favourite books is Peter Pan by J.M Barrie. I remember reading it when the film Hook came out (I was about your age then) and thinking it was absolutely fantastic! I haven’t read it for a long time, so maybe we can use it as a class novel.

Today in Literacy, we wrote and performed our own poems basewd on Allan Ahlberg’s classic poem, Registration.

Here it is;

Emma Hackett?

Here, Miss!

Billy McBone?

Here, Miss!

Derek Drew?

Here, Miss!

Margaret Thatcher?

Still here, Miss!

Long John Silver?

Buccaneer, Miss!

Al Capone?

Racketeer, Miss!

Isambard Kingdom Brunel?

Engineer, Miss!

David Crockett?

Wild Frontier, Miss!

Frank Bruno?

Cauliflower ear, Miss!

The White Rabbit?

Late, Miss!

Billy the Kid?

Infants, Miss!

Simple Simon?

Here, Sir!

Father Christmas?

Present (for you), Miss!

Count Dracula?

1, 2, 3, 4, Miss!

Necks door, Miss!

Dentist’s!

The Invisible Man?

Nowhere, Miss!

Almighty God?

Everywhere, Miss!

Tarzan?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Miss.

Sleeping Beauty? Zzz, Miss!

Hi everyone!

As we are not in school this week, I thought it might be nice to share anything exciting that you have planned.

My plans are not very exciting I’m afraid as they include washing the car, vacuuming the house and generally being a boring grown up!

With Valentines Day looming, we’d love to know what you think love is. Here are some examples:

Noelle age 7 “Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday”

Rebecca- age 8: “When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”

 Nikka – age 6: “If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.”

 Elaine-age 5: “Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.”

By Miss Goodson

Hello everyone, meet Xzrtle, a new visitor to our blog. As you might have guessed, Xzrtle has come a long way to visit us, so let’s do our best to make him welcome!

More than anything else, Xzrtle really wants to be a human. I thought we could help him out by giving him some instructions on how to do human things.

Why not try giving Xzrtle instructions on how to do some everyday human things? You could teach him how to make toast, how to eat dinner, how to put a pair of trousers on, how to brush his teeth. It really is up to you.
I am sure Xzrtke will love learning from you!

In maths weve been learning about fractions and it is difficult. In litricey weve been learning about putting adverbs into sentenses.

By Max.R and Michael.W

We are currently writing instructions in class. We are trying extremely hard to make them clear and easy to understand.

To do this, we have been looking at adding adverbs to improve our work.

Remember, an adverb describes how something is done. For example,

Cautiously, the girl walked into the deserted playground.

The children chatted noisily in class.

The dog wagged his tail quickly.

Write a comment with a sentence that includes an adverb.

To those children not in school today, we hope

you feel better soon.

From your friends in 3B

This is a game we have played in class before, so I am expecting some imaginative and original ideas.

How do you get across the river? You cannot use a boat! That is too easy!

Here is an example to start you off, but I am sure you can think of something better:

I can use an overhanging branch from a tree to catapult myself to the other side.
