Year 3 - Summer Activities

Year 3 I am not sure how it has happened but we have come to the end of the school year and what a year it has been. I am incredibly proud of each and everyone of you for the positive attitude and hard work you have shown during this difficult time. I know it has not been easy for any of you but we are now reaching the other side of the rainbow ready for a new beginning in September.

This is not how I imagined our time together coming to an end and it makes me incredibly sad that I will not see some of you again until September when you will be in Year 4. I want to take this opportunity to say it has been a privilege to be your teacher for the last two years and to be a part of your learning journeys. Everyone of you has enriched my life in so many different ways. I will miss your positive attitudes, your enthusiasm for learning, your sense of humors, your hard work and your determination to succeed. I could go on but it would make the blog too long :) I know that you will carry this through into Year 4 and beyond and continue to make me proud. Please remember I am only next door if you need anything or if you just want to visit for a chat.

I also want to thank your families for the support they have given both you and me whilst in my class. It has proven invaluable in your successes throughout Year 2 and 3.

Here are some suggestions for activities to keep you busy during the holidays - remember you do not have to complete them all.

  • Summer Reading Challenge - The children in school have discussed this in their bubble and Mrs Claxton has uploaded more information onto the website.

  • Have a picnic - if it’s raining outside you could have it indoors.

  • Create a scavenger hunt - write clues for people to follow. What treasure will you hide?

  • Build a den - this could be inside using blankets or outside using natural materials.

  • Read a book in a strange place - maybe you could take a photo to show me in September.

  • Rock painting.

  • Plant some seeds in the garden.

  • Go for a walk or a bike ride.

  • Help an adult make dinner.

  • Bake a cake.

  • Write a letter to someone you haven’t seen for a while.

  • Create an obstacle course in your garden.

  • Play in a paddling pool.

  • Fly a kite.

  • Have a pyjama day.

  • Have a movie night.
