To 3M

I'm so proud I was your teacher.

I've watched you learn and grow.

We worked so hard and had such fun.

How fast the time did go!

Our year was interrupted,

it was too soon to part.

Just know that you will always

have a special place

within my heart.

Love Mrs Munro

Dear Parents/Carers,

As we obviously can't have our class photos this year Mrs Hindle is putting together a class photo for each class as a lasting memory of this time!

If you would like to have your child added to their class photo I need you to send a head shot (from the shoulders up) of your child to ... 3m@newmoston.manchester.sch.uk
(By doing this you are giving your consent to share your child's photo with other parents.)

I would need these no later than FRIDAY 19TH JUNE!

There is no uniform to the image you send just a clear smiling head shot of your cherubs! (Please no snapchat style filters!)

Thank you

Hi 3M

I hope you are all doing well and not missing school too much. We are missing you.

Since school has closed, I have been busy helping my own children complete their home learning. It is making me miss you even more as you don't complain anywhere near as much as they do!! I hope you are enjoying completing your home learning and doing other things with your families.

In case you all want to show off your times tables at home, the links are below to the songs that we have been practising.

I have been very busy doing some exercises from the doctor to make my ankle better so that I won't have to use the crutches anymore  I have also been trying to keep my house tidy from the mess that my own children make it and I have started to learn to play the piano again, I look forward to hearing if you have tried anything new.

I look forward to seeing you again soon and everything going back to normal.

For parents:

If you need to contact school please use the following email address:

lks2parents@newmoston.manchester.sch.uk

For any pastoral needs, please email:

safeguarding@newmoston.manchester.sch.uk

Stay safe, be kind and be positive

Love Mrs Munro and Miss Tyson 

Instructions 

This week, to start our learning on writing instructions, 3M have had a look at examples of instructions. We tried to follow them to decide if they were good or bad examples.

Mad Science Hook

Inquisitive Indie joined us today to teach us about electricity.

We all imagined we were electrons and learnt how they all link together to allow electricity to pass through. We then built circuits to make a buzzer sound. We added a switch into our circuit and tried to make the buzzer sound again. Then we tested different materials to see which ones would complete the circuit and allow the buzzer to sound.

We took it in turns to have a go with the electricity inside the ball too to watch it follow our hands to find a way to the ground.

Finally we tried to pop a balloon by passing electricity through it.

Christingles

During the last week, 3M had a special treat, Miss Maynard came to teach us for the day.

We learnt about and made Christingles and when we had finished we turned the lights off and lit them.

In the afternoon, Pippa came to join us.

Thank-You Miss Maynard and Pippa.

Roman Soldier Hook

To complete our learning about the Romans, a Roman Soldier came to visit us for a day.

Together with 3R, we learnt about life as a Roman Soldier. We dressed as a Roman Soldier and felt how heavy the chain mail armour was.

We also had a go at using shields to create battle formations while 3R threw foam spears at us to try and break through our formation, then we swapped over.

Take a look at the photos to see how much fun we had.

Parent’s Celebration 

Parents and carers  were invited into 3M on Wednesday afternoon to join the children in their learning about Ramadan.

We made prayer mats and good deeds paper chains.

Unfortunately, Mrs Munro was having so much fun, she forgot to take any pictures. However the feedback received from those that attended is:

A great little task for us both to join in with

You’ve helped my child to learn well

We enjoyed joining in with the children to do some activities but would have liked more time

Enjoyed spending time helping 

Good communication

Great to see kids in class, they’re growing in confidence!

Allowed children to choose their own design for prayer mats but would have liked more time.

Thank-you for joining us!

We’ve been busy

We’ve had a busy couple of weeks in our topic learning.

We have been looking at healthy eating and the food groups. Then we looked our our skeletons, bones and muscles. We enjoyed having the full sized skeleton to visit in our classroom as it gave us the chance to see clearly what the bones inside us looked like. We cut out and made our own skeletons with Mrs Ross and learnt the proper scientific names for the bones.

We completed this learning by looking at the muscles and how they help us to move. We especially enjoyed using our facial muscles to pull different faces.

Did you know it takes 41 muscles to frown and 17 muscles to smile?

#helloyellow

On Thursday 10th October we supported Mental Health Awareness Day and all wore yellow.

We all have mental health, it is about our feelings, our thinking, our emotions and our moods. Looking after our mental health is important.

To improve our awareness of mental health, we carried out a variety of activities. We considered how we would feel if certain things were to happen during the day, eg. Waking up late; being organised; having an argument before leaving the house; seeing someone that makes us laugh. We moved to different areas in the classroom to show if we would feel happy, okay or be finding things hard. Following this, we created some bunting to decorate our classroom with that had positive messages on to either support someone if they were finding things hard or to show a way that we have been supported.

We also created our own superheroes with various powers to help people such as ‘The Hugger’ and ‘The Smiler’.

In the afternoon, we took part in the BBC Teach Growth Mindset and Well-being lesson which was a live interactive lesson. This taught us how to recognise emotions, develop resilience and provided us with tips on how to look after ourselves through things such as deep breathing.

Take a look at the photos of us enjoying the day.

Let there be light!

To finish off our topic about light, we looked at the Hindu festival Diwali which is the Festival of Lights.

We looked at the story of Rama and Sita and we celebrated the festival by decorating our own lanterns similar to those lit by Hindus to help the goddess Lakshmi find her way 

Let’s investigate!

Last week, as part of our science topic on light we investigated which materials would best reflect light for us to use in a design for a new school bag to keep us safe in the dark.

The materials we used were:

• cotton wool
• netting
• velvet
• felt
• sequins
• ribbon

We shone a torch on the materials to see how well the light reflected. We were fascinated by the results. We found that the sequins reflected the light the most and in many different directions.

Transition Morning 

On transition morning the children visited their new class, with some parents and careers too.

Together we drew around our hands and decorated them to create our class display.

All enjoyed the experience, with some feedback being:

”Very well organised, fun activities which are enjoyable for parents and children.”

”Nice idea for parents to meet the teachers.”

”Friendly introduction to new class.”

”Thank-you for making us feel welcome.”

”A well thought out task with the children”

”Involved everyone”

I hope you will agree that our completed display looks fantastic.

”We are each unique and beautiful, but together we are a masterpiece!”
