To end the year 3 science unit of ‘Light’, the children made a light / shadow puppet theatre based around the Greek Myth story ‘Theseus and the Minatour’. They really enjoyed acting out the characters, retelling the story with good expression.

Celebrate good times – come on!! 🥳 🎈 🎉
Star of the week- Alfie Morgan
Alfie has a more mature attitude and is embracing a more positive way of thinking. He is completing more homework with mum which is lovely to see.
Alfie is reading every night and has read about 8 book this half term. He has increased his times tables score due to practicing at home.
He completed an independent write about his own Greek myth story.
Well done and keep up the excellent effort.
Faith and belief champion-
Anwen Chester
Anwen is a very caring and supportive member of Long Mynd. She shows belief in the other children by helping them when they are unsure. She never refuses to help a class member. She listens to children read, helps them to log onto a computer and shares her own knowledge.
We challenged Anwen to 144 mixed times tables questions which she scores full marks so we now challenge her to division questions. She can find this difficult but she has faith in herself to never give up.
Well done to all the children who passed their spellings.
have a lovely half term and keep safe

Hercules and the 13th Labour- the battle to freedom!
Our English topic was to write a Greek myth- over the last 4 weeks we have looked at a selection of myths, broke down a plan and focused on each step. What a wonderful way to end the unit is by sharing our very own story. I am super proud of all the work the children have produced. We will be reading and filming our very own stories this week.

Tedi has really come out of her shell the last week few weeks, she displays positive attitude every day.
She is reading every day to an adult and accessing Bug Club online. She got 10 out of 10 in her spellings where she used to score 0.
Tedi was scoring 2/25 in her times tables and after practicing daily she has now passed full marks.
In her maths cold task she scored 0 and in her hot task she scored 12 out if 14.
The effort is amazing.

Greek myth crafts 🐂🕊
This week we have been working on our creative skills focusing on two Greeks myths.
Theseus and the Minatour and Daedalus and Icarus.
Firstly, we made a Minatour head out of paper mache. The children constructed the head, horns, made hair, a nose ring and facial features. 
Next, we designed wings for Icarus to fly to freedom. We talked about flying to close to the sun and the ocean and designed wings suitable for both. Some children made wings half suitable for the sun and half suitable for the ocean.

Star of the week goes to:
Star of the week Austin Hamilton
Austin has been working extremely hard this week in all area of the curriculum. He had been asking to read to an adult every morning which is fantastic and now other children are following suit.
He designed a fantastic pizza using all the key vocabulary correctly- he even took his pizza home which he made for his family and wants to make it at home again for homework! What wonderful initiative!
Superstar! 💫🌟
We are also celebrating the success of passing times tables and spellings this week, well done all.
