Hi Y3L,

Please look out for English, maths and work in other subjects this week. I will post work and messages to you every day on Google Classroom. Try to do as much as you can, at the best times for you. Please make sure you have lots of breaks in between working and enjoy playing and doing other enjoyable things at home too. It is important that we all stay busy and happy.

Remember to use Reading Plus, TT Rockstars, My Maths and Education City too. Remember that your logins are in your reading records. If you cannot find your logins, ask your parents to email me (they all have my email address from emails I sent a few weeks ago) and I will get back to them as soon as I can.

Take care and be safe everyone.

Latest letter from Mrs. Simons:

January Lockdown – Monday 4th January

Dear Parent or Carer,

The safety and wellbeing of our whole school community has always been our first priority.  Due to the variants of the virus and the concerns of our Governing Body, St. Anne (Stanley) Primary School have taken the difficult decision to close our school to all but vulnerable children and children of critical worker families.  This position will be reassessed on Friday 8th January, we hope to have further guidance from the Government before this date.

We are really sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused our families, but due to rapidly increasing rate in Liverpool, we believe until we have further clarification from the Government that this is the safest option for our whole school community.

Please do get in touch if you need help accessing on line learning.

Please see the national guidelines for a list of critical workers.

Religious Education

This term we began by exploring ‘The Lord’s Prayer’, looking in detail around the meaning of the prayer. We know that it is a very special prayer to Christians. We also began to discuss the concept of the Kingdom of God being like a mustard seed. 

‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.’ (Matthew 13:31-32)

We then explored ‘Harvest’. We looked in detail at how and why Christians celebrate harvest. We looked at the fantastic ways that harvest is celebrated around the world, discussing our favourite. We ended the unit by focusing on the Jewish harvest festival- Sukkot. We researched how and why Jewish people celebrate Sukkot and we looked at the different symbols that represent Sukkot.

Our current topic is ‘God with Us’ where we have explored what it means to be present. After looking at the Nativity, we asked questions to the shepherds about how they felt when the angel came to give them the good news of the Son of God being born. We then looked in detail at what the terms incarnation and Emmanuel mean and discussed different events and storied from the life of Jesus deciding whether they mainly show the human side of Jesus’ life or the ‘God’ side of his life. We know that incarnation means ‘made flesh’ and that God became a human when Jesus was born and this is why Jesus is also sometimes called Emmanuel (God with us).

Music

Before half term, we have been looking at rhythmic patterns. Learning was based on reading and creating rhythmic patterns. This included; time signatures, crotchets, minims and quavers plus crotchet rests. bars and bar lines and repeats. The children used batons and untuned percussion to perform their rhythmic patterns.
 
Since half term we have been learning about the Class Orchestra. This topic is based on learning how to arrange and orchestrate known songs. The children learn about A Capella, melody, accompaniments and they will learn how to structure and organise songs. 
 
Throughout the term, pupils have also been learning to analyse orchestral music. Learning has included; instruments and families, tempo, dynamics, pitch and structure. How to listen and react to the music confidently. We have also tried to reaffirm knowledge and plug any gaps from last year using starter quizzes and white board exercises.

This term we have been exploring ‘Health and Wellbeing’. This has included looking at how to live a healthy lifestyle. We have shared with one another what we are good at doing, we liked hearing what our friends thought we were good at. We then wrote all about ‘Marvellous Me!’ telling the world how amazing we really are. In addition to this, we have studied anti-bullying and Black History month.
