Lower Key Stage 2

Year 3 this week have been very busy! 

3I and 3G both had their class assemblies – everyone worked hard to learn their songs and lines as well as speak clearly and loudly. A special well done to those in 3I who had to learn some last minute parts! 

Year 3 took part in an inter-school Spelling Bee with Years 3& 4 from Jessop and Stockwell. 

A huge well done  to Joash, Isaiah, Luke, Zak, Yaseen and Isabella for ensuring Bonneville came second. An extra well done to Isabella who stepped in last minute to cover an absence. Big congratulations to Luke who came first overall in the competition. 

We had Pedestrian Training on Tuesday learning how to cross roads safely and to be aware of our surroundings. A big thank you to Mr Thomas who spent a whole morning out in the cold. 

We continued to use our times tables knowledge in Maths to help us answer multiplication and division questions. We are focusing on learning our 3,4 and 8 tables. Please make sure your child is using TTRS – there are battles over the weekends. If you need the login, please contact your child’s teacher. In English, we continued to adapt the Greek myth Theseus & the Minotaur with our own creative ideas. In Science, we learned all about Bertha Benz and her contribution to the automotive industry. In Geography, we were cartographers making our own maps of Ancient Greek towns and using grid references and compass directions to describe location. In Re, we learned about the Hindu festival of light Diwali. 

3G are continuing to swim – thank you so much to the parents who accompany us, we couldn’t do it without you. 3G’s final swimming session will be Thursday 5th December – apologies that the rota is incorrect. 

We were lucky enough to have Chef Amandeep come in from the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts come in to lead the first of 4 workshops to widen the children’s cooking skills. The children tasted a range of different foods discussing the 5 different flavours – sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami. 

We are very excited for Paws for Cause and for Ms Innes to be running the marathon in April! All donations gratefully received – please scan the QR code on the posters outside the school gates. 

3G will be going to the library on Friday 29 November – your child will need to bring in their library card on that day.  If they do not have a library card , please get a form from Miss Gibbon and you will be able to pick up your library card on the day. 

On Monday 18^th November, Bonneville Primary School hosted the Federation’s first Spelling Bee. This was a competition between children in Year 3 and 4. After spelling tests in schools, the top 6 spellers from each year group were chosen to take part in the event.

The first round was the ‘Quick Fire’ round. Each child had one minute to answer as many spellings as they could. They could choose from easy- 1 point, medium- 3 points and hard- 5 points. All the children did so well and impressed the judges with their speed and accuracy.

The children who scored the most in each year group then got to complete in the ‘Last Person Standing’ round until we got to the winner.

A massive congratulations to Harry from Jessop for coming 3^rd place. Emeric from Stockwell, who came 2^nd place and Luke, Year 3 from Bonneville, who came 1^st! They did an amazing job and the judges even moved on to Year 5 and 6 Spellings.

The overall school with the most points was Stockwell Primary. A massive congratulations! 

We are very proud of everyone that took part. They did a brilliant job and had lots of fun. Thank you to all the adults and children that helped make the day a success.
