Year 3 Blog
Introduction
Welcome to Lydgate Junior School.
We aim to ensure that all children receive a high quality, enjoyable and exciting education.
We feel that our school is a true reflection of the community we serve. Lydgate children are well motivated and come from a range of social and cultural backgrounds. Within the school community we appreciate the richness of experience that the children bring to school. This enhances the learning experiences of everyone and it also gives all pupils the opportunity to develop respect and tolerance for each other by working and playing together. We want your child's time at Lydgate to be memorable for the right reasons - that is, a happy, fulfilling and successful period of his/her childhood.
Yours sincerely,
Stuart Jones

Welcome to the Year 5 Blog page.
The Year 5 teaching team consists of: Mrs Loosley (5NL), Miss Cunningham (5EC), Mrs Ridsdale and Mrs Webb (5W/R) and Mr Bradshaw (5BB). The children are also supported by our teaching assistants: Mr Swain, Mr Jenkinson, Mrs Hornsey and Mrs Allen. We have help from Mr Jones, Miss Lee, Ms Grimsley and Ms Reasbeck too. What a fantastic team!
Our PE days are Tuesday (indoor) and Wednesday (outdoor): the children need to wear their PE kits for school on those days.
Spellings are sent home every Monday, to learn ready for a spelling dictation each Friday.
Homework books (maths and SPaG) will be sent home once a week - the days will be decided by the class teachers who will let their classes know. They will have a whole week to complete the homework tasks.
In our weekly blogs, the children will share some of the things they have been doing at school. Check in each weekend for the latest Y5 news!

RRS Class Charters
This term, the children in Year 3 have been learning about what it means to be a Rights Respecting School, with a particular focus on the right to an education (Articles 28 & 29), the right to play (Article 31), the right to be safe (Articles 19 & 24) and the right to be respected (Articles 12, 14 & 30) . We have talked about how everyone can show respect for the rights of the child and each class has designed their own Class Charter to display their promises to each other. The classes voted on the theme and every child contributed to the displays. ..
Happy Holiday
Well done to all Year 3s for your hard work in your first term in the Junior school. ..
Tree art
To finish off our art topic on trees, we made 3D trees this week out of brown paper bags. We used our observations of the shapes and textures of winter trees to cut and twist the paper into shape. We then used tissue paper to cover the ground and added some glitter to make them sparkle. We are proud of the finished pieces and think that they look great when placed all together like a forest. ..
Division using arrays
We have been thinking about multiplication and division structures this week. We started with the problem of sharing 12 sweets between two people (partitive division). We drew pictures to show how we did this, for example: ..
Homework - Time
Later in Y3, we will be working on telling the time. We will be starting with some practise on recognising o'clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. You will have brought home a sheet showing Father Christmas' timetable. To revise what you already know, we would like you to fill in the times on the clocks. Please bring the sheet back to school by the end of term. ..
