2nd April 2020
Poetry Challenge - This is a seascape which hangs at the top of my stairs. I love it because it is a painting of one of my FAVOURITE PLACES to go . I wonder how many of you can guess where it is? I would love you to write me a poem about this painting. It could be an acrostic poem (which spells a word or phrase, vertically down the page), it could be a descriptive poem, using similes ( eg as swift as an eagle) and alliteration (eg the shells settle on the shingles of the shore) or, for those who want to make it rhyme, it could be a poem using rhyming couplets (where 2 lines of your poem rhyme).
Have a go ! Send me your wonderful, seascape poems to -
burtonk@christchurch-chelt.gloucs.sch.uk by Sunday 19th April and I will announce our poets of the week ! Don't forget to guess where it is 
As more exciting resources are made available for free, I will keep updating our class page.

On Wednesday 26th June, Year 3 went back in time to the age of the Victorians. Our classroom became a Victorian school room where children sat in rows of boys and girls, worked on skates using chalk and participated in a Victorian drill on the playground. The three Rs were taught of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.
Kidditch! 10th June 2019

Year 3 were split into the four house teams: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw to play against each other (on broomsticks!) as Keepers, Seekers, Beaters and Chasers! Lots of amazing props were used such as multi coloured wigs and headbands! A fantastic fun filled opportunity for the class!
