Finish this diary extract about a school day –
Tuesday 19th June 1880
Dear Diary,
Today I awoke at 6am to the sound of three baby blackbirds singing at my window. They were so noisy I got quite a shock. As I was already awake, I made my bed and went to wash my face. Afterwards I got dressed and put on my shoes ready for school. I was worried about going to school today because yesterday I was unable to read some difficult words, during a reading of the Bible in front of the class. The teacher told me to practise at home but we do not have a Bible. After my breakfast I said goodbye to Ma and Pa and went to meet my friend.
I walked to school swiftly with my friend Nora which took us thirty minutes. When we arrived at school my feet were aching and I needed a drink, however we are not allowed to drink water during school time. My teacher called the register, Edith was late again! Then it was time to work.
Thursday
Spelling –
Please ask someone to test you on your weekly spellings today.

A time to finish any Literacy work that you may have not finished during the week. Don’t forget to proofread all your Literacy work too.
Enjoy reading a book from home or finding out more about what changes there were, during Queen Victoria’s reign.
Topic
Use what you have learned about Victorian Children at School to make a quiz which you can try out on your family or friends. Aim to write about 8 to 10 questions but do remember to do an answer sheet too!
Do send me some of your quizzes to the class email address -
stanage@st-michaels.derbyshire.sch.uk
I could try them out on the teachers!
Science - Lesson 7
We are very near the end of our Rocks topic. This last week please think about all the things inside and outside our homes and school that is made from rocks. You could try and find pictures or you could draw your own pictures. Whichever you choose, don’t forget to label each one carefully and neatly. Some examples could be – garden path, fireplace, brick wall.
Art/DT
The forecast is better for next week and it looks like we can spend more time outside. Have a go at making a miniature garden. A large plate or a plastic tray forms a good base. You could use some small rocks from your garden. Little pebbles make nice paths and borders.
You can create your own plan or you can research ‘How to make a miniature garden’ on the internet.
Do take a photo of your garden and send it to me via the class email –
stanage@st-michaels.derbyshire.sch.uk

Do have a lovely Summer Holiday Year 3, I have missed us all being together very much. I will look forward to seeing you all again, back in school in September! Take care, Mrs Garner.
The Romans
The children really enjoyed learning about the Romans. The Roman Army and Everyday Life were the most fascinating to explore. On the display you can see Roman shields, slaves and a scrapbook containing diaries the children wrote about their day at a Roman School. The shields were really difficult to make, as the designs had to be symmetrical!
