Nightingales - Year 3

^{Welcome back to all the wonderful children of Nightingale Class}

^{on Monday 8th March!}

Hello all

We hope you are all well and we are so looking forward to seeing you all back in school on Monday!

To help you to organise yourselves for coming back into school after such a long time, we have put together a list of things that you will please need to bring in on Monday:

• Your pencil case containing: pencils, a glue stick (really important!), a ruler and rubber. If you have your own coloured pencils and scissors too, that is great!

• Your copy of 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' - please bring these in as you will need them in class for Monday's Focused Reading lesson!
• Your whiteboards and whiteboard pens.
• Your Memory Box that you have created, if you would like to share it with the class.
• Please do not bring in your Blue and Green exercise books, as we have already seen and marked all of your Assignments online. Kindly keep these at home in the event that they are needed again.
• Please do not bring in your P.E. kit, as you will need to come into school wearing your P.E. kit on Tuesdays (For Forest School) and Fridays (for P.E.)

Thank you so much and we'll see you on Monday!

Rangoli Patterns

Hello Nightingales and families!

We hope you're having a wonderful half-term so far.  Let's hope it doesn't rain every day!

This half-term, the children have been really enjoying learning about Divali, the Festival of Lights and how it is celebrated by the Hindu Community. As part of this, the children learned all about Rangoli patterns. These are colourful designs created on the floor, often on the doorstep of a home.  They are often created during Divali, to welcome in Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and to bring strength, generosity and good luck. These patterns can be created from coloured sand, rice, flower petals or quartz powder. Flowers and nature are often represented. Here is a slideshow of the work of Nightingale Class and their interpretations of Rangoli Patterns, crafted in coloured chalk.  They adorned our playground until the rain washed them away! Don't they look stunning?

National Poetry Day - Thursday 1st October

We were absolutely delighted with the efforts the children put into the poems they shared today.  They were confident and clear as they stood at the front of the class and read (some of them off-by-heart) their poems to their peers.  We had a lovely variety of genres from riddles and nursery rhymes to comedy and classics.  Well done, Nightingales! 

Welcome to Nightingale Class 2020

We have so enjoyed welcoming the children back to school - they have settled in really well and are already producing lots of lovely work.

Just a few reminders:

• Forest School is on Tuesdays
• P.E. is on Fridays
• Water bottle, packed lunch (if having one) and reading books should be in school every day
• No rucksacks in schools please; children should bring in their things in a plastic bag or wallet
• There is no school fruit provided for children at break times in Key Stage 2 so please do provide your child with a fruit snack (NO NUTS)

On Forest School and PE days, children should come to school dressed for these activities.  

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us via the school office.
