Year 3 Friday blog - 3rd December

Date: 3rd Dec 2021 @ 8:48am

Welcome to your Friday blog

This week we have finished reading Mr Stink. We have loved reading it, some parts have made us laugh, some parts have made us cry, some parts have made us think about people who are less fortunate than us. The writing produced whilst reading Mr Stink has been wonderful, we have learnt lots of new exciting words. Well done Year 3!

In maths we learned a new method for subtraction. We used equipment and written methods to subtract two 2-digit numbers. Next week we will be moving on to 3-digit numbers. We have also continued practising our 4x tables. We know every word to the 4x tables song now, it is great to hear that so many of you have been listening at home. 

In French, we learnt how to say I have (J'ai...) and I have not (Je n'ai pas de ..) using pencil case items. Some of us are doing really well at recalling the vocabulary. Tres bien, year 3!

We had such a special treat on Thursday. We got to watch a pantomime in school! We loved watching Dick Whittington, we absolutely loved it.
