Monday 13th July



Good morning everyone, and welcome to the very last week of this academic year, and the end of our time together in Year 3!  

This is the start of your fourteenth week of home learning - what an amazing achievement!  This has been a school year like no other: when you are older, people will ask you what it was like to be a child in 2020, when all the schools closed, and for a time, the world was quiet and still.  Your memories of this time will become part of history - maybe one day, your grandchildren will learn all about 2020 in school, and you'll be able to help them with their homework, because you lived through it all!

Our last week at school is usually a time for reflection: to look back on the year that has passed, and to reminisce over the fun times we had, remembering our favourite days and funniest moments, the games we played and all the new things we learnt - as well as a time for fun and games.  Our home learning this week follows the same theme, as we look back over this most extraordinary year, and get ready to look forward to the summer holidays and a fresh start in September.

The home learning activities can be found, as usual, in the 3V Google Drive, but there is one more very important task that I would like all of you to complete this week.   

Normally, at this time of year, many of you are kind enough to bring in special thank you cards for your teachers.  We always treasure them, but this year, I would like you to make a thank you card - or a special picture - for your parents and carers instead.  

Most of your mums, dads and carers didn't train to be teachers, but they've had to juggle the responsibility of looking after your school work, at the same time as doing their own normal work from home.  I think they deserve a huge round of applause, and a very special thank you from you, to let them know how much you appreciate all their hard work and support for your home learning.  So, even if you don't manage to complete any other school work this week, please make sure that you take the time to say 'thank you' to the grown ups at home for everything they've done for you during lockdown.

That's all from me for today - I will be back tomorrow with some ideas for fun and games this week.  

Take care, 

Mrs Vaqueiro
