This Week has been Anti-Bullying Week. Based on the theme of “One Kind Word”, each child chose a word that could change somebody’s day or help them in some way. They then produced a poster for display. Well done Year 3.
The children in Year 3 have been learning how to code. Today they made their own scenes and tried to animate them. I think you can agree that they are pretty cool. Sorry – but Santa may appear in some of them!

The theme for Anti-Bullying Week this year is One Kind Word. The week will begin with Odd Socks Day. We would like all of the children to come to school wearing odd socks to show we’re ALL unique and different. We want to emphasis the importance of being kind to each other and respecting each other’s individuality.
Throughout the week the children will be talking about different types of bullying, what to do about it and how we can spread kindness around the school. We will even be singing a song about it!

In a bid to help everyone at Ashley Primary School become more environmentally proactive we applied for some plants from The Woodland Trust. You will be pleased to hear that we were successful and sometime this month we will be receiving 120 Saplings.
Although we have not been given a date for delivery we expect them to come the week beginning Monday 8th November. With this in mind we would like everyone in school to have the opportunity to get their hands dirty to help plant the saplings. We will let you know as soon as we can but your child will need to bring in appropriate footwear (wellies would be best) and if they have them, some gardening gloves.
Thank you, Mrs Jewitt 🙂

This week in book week we have been reading the story “The Tinderbox” by Hans Christian Anderson. We have read the story, listened to an an audible version online and completed different tasks. These tasks include a book review, character description and an alternative ending to the story focusing around our grammar objectives which can be seen in the photos. We also dressed up as characters from Hans Christian Anderson tales.
Next week we will continue with the book as we are going to write our own stories based on ideas from The Tinderbox. 
Thanks Year 3SB .
This week we have been learning all about Hans Christian Andersen and reading some of his most popular tales to celebrate book week. We have dressed up as our favourite character from our favourite Andersen tale. Can you work out who we are?
In English we have been reading The Tinderbox! Today, we decided to work together as a whole class and rewrite the ending. We thought about what grammar we have learned so far and made sure to include it. We have used noun phrases and a question… as well as checking for correct spelling, capital letters and full stops! Here is our alternative ending:
