This week to contribute towards the school’s PDSA Petwise School Award, we wrote letters as if we were dogs in a shelter needing a home! We looked at what shelters are like and what we would say to a human to convince them to adopt us. Class 3 wrote in the first person and thought about what they would look like and what their name would be if they were a dog. They had some excellent ideas and were totally convincing… I’d adopt you all! Miss Wilson x
This week, we are focusing on poems! We wrote our own poems about spring by thinking about each of our senses. We have been learning about the suffixes ‘er’ and ‘est’ and completed a table in which we changed our root words. Then on Friday, we wrote a description of spring. We included adjectives throughout and again thought of our senses and expanded some of the lines and ideas we had used in our poems. Below are some lovely examples. Well done Class 3! Miss Wilson x
A huge thank you to the grown-ups who attended the Year 1 Easter Story evening on Tuesday and Wednesday night. The children were read the story ‘We’re Going On An Egg Hunt’ before doing lots of different Easter activities. They made Easter baskets, created paper shape chicks, designed their own eggs and even made their own Easter cakes and biscuits! Miss Wilson x
On Thursday, C3 took part in the Athletics Festival at Temple Park. This consisted of the class being put into two groups and making their way around different circuits and activities. We had a blast – and felt super fit afterwards! A huge well done to Class 3 who were so incredibly well behaved, too. We had a fab time. On Friday it was our class assembly and C3 put on a BRILLIANT performance for Red Nose Day. I am a super proud teacher, right now! Miss Wilson x
For World Book Day we dressed up as such gorgeous queens and handsome kings! We even had visitors on Thursday and Friday to read to us. On Thursday a man and lady came from library at The Word and on Friday Libbie’s dad came to see us! We were all very excited – we aren’t used to other adults coming in to read us stories and C3 were overjoyed. Here are some photos from the week. Miss Wilson x
Before half term, Class 3 designed their own pizzas with a range of toppings. They all had tomato puree and cheese as staples then had a choice of mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn and ham. This week they got to make their very own pizzas before we popped them in the oven. They were cooked ready for the girls and boys to eat after break – and they were DELICIOUS! Miss Wilson x
Last week, C3 went on a trip to visit a local church in South Shields called St Hilda’s. At school we had been learning all about the features of a church, such as a pulpit, font, lectern and altar. On our visit, we got to see all of these up close! We even learnt that St Hilda was actually a princess! We had a fantastic day. Miss Wilson x

Every morning and throughout the day, the class will be given theopportunity to express how they’re feeling by moving their own face! 😀 It’s a fab way for the children to reflect on their mood and if it’s changing. It’s very important that the class know that it’s absolutely OK and completely normal to not feel happy every single day! It’s all part of being human and I will be stressing this alot ❤️. This display will help me identify the children in my class who may need some extra support, some extra uplifting or simply help from their friends to move them from one zone to a happier one!

This week, Class 3 have began to create their own music on the iPads. They were taught how to use the app ‘GarageBand’ and this week they played the piano. They used different notes to create their own tune. This will be built upon next week as GarageBand will be a lesson the children will have week in, week out for the next 5 weeks. They had a blast during their first lesson! Miss Wilson x
We have already had such a fun week… and it’s only Wednesday! On Tuesday we had a special treat – a pantomime! It was called Pinocchio and it was fantastic! The boys and girls couldn’t stop laughing right the way through. Then on Wednesday, our class elf Buddy left us a beautiful rainbow picture. We decided to recreate it and made gorgeous calendars for our grown ups. They’re a little different though, I won’t ruin the surprise! We have even more surprises coming at Monkton Infants this week… Xx
