Year 3 Blog Friday 9th December

Date: 9th Dec 2022 @ 3:42pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog

This week we have enjoyed watching the Nativity performance, enjoyed our Christmas Bingo and watched an amazing drumming masterclass from year 4 and 5. 

In our English this week we have been exploring the features of a news report. We wrote our own reports of the Postbox Mystery and shared them with Year 6 who have also been writing news articles. Have a look at our gallery here.

In our maths we have been learning to solve divisions with remainders. This proved very tricky and is a difficult concept to grasp. Have a go at your Sumdog challenges and division practice to help with understanding. 

This week we have started to design and construct our sports stadiums. Everyone has been using their skills to evaluate their designs and decide what 3D shell structures will be best to add to their design. Next week we will be assembling our final construction. Super DT Year 3!

In French, we used bilingual dictionaries to look up nouns to write a letter to pere Noel. We managed really well to change the definite article (le,la or les) to an indefinite article (un, une or des). Tres bien, Y3!

Home Practice

Continue to read every night for at least 15 minutes. 

Check out our Sumdog challenges. This week we are practising our x3.x4 and x8 related facts. Continue to access the Sumdog Training tool. We have recently reset everyones account so that they are challenged on their hard skills.

In our spellings, the children have worked hard this week to use simple words to construct compound words. This strategy will help children to spell longer words more accurately. Here are your home spellings for this week.

mouse   trousers    fountain    grouse    hound     browse    trowel    powder     shower     tower     howl    blackout

We are revisiting our OU and OW sounds as some of us aren't fluent with these just yet. We have added a few extra ones to have a go at on Sumdog.

Have a great weekend
