This term in Humanities our topic is Settlements. During this half term we are particularly looking at the development of Wigan from the 18th century onwards. If any parent has any old maps or photographs of Wigan and the surrounding areas they would like to loan us for a short period of time we would be very grateful.
Over the last 2 weeks Y3 have been reading Pirate Plays. We have some budding actors and actresses.
Over the next 2 or 3 weeks we will be looking at Report Writing.
Thankyou to all the parents who have been helping the children with telling the time. Many of them have made excellent progress.
Emily made up these 2 Limericks
Limerick 1
A cool man from France
Was great at dance
He said all you need to do
Is have fun and say yahoo
He also did a great prance
Limerick 2
I once had a little pet doggy
That got lost when it was quite foggy
He fell in a pond
Turned into James Bond
Well a bit like James Bond but more soggy
Brilliant Emily, Mrs Rooks is very jealous as she can’t write such good Limericks
This Term Y3 have been looking at different types of poetry.
We have really enjoyed looking at Limericks. Joe wrote this one at home
I go to school everyday
Dragging my feet all the way
I kick and I holler
I don’t want to be a scholar
I wish I could go home and play.
Well done Joe
Watch this space for more Limericks !!

This term Y3 had a visit from Mike the Palaentologist who gave a powerpoint presentation about fossils and dinosaurs, All the children were very interested and Rhys and Jake showed an amazing amount of knowledge about dinosaurs. We have since written stories and poems about dinosaurs and the children have created some wonderful drawings.
