Year 3 Friday 29th September 2023

Date: 29th Sep 2023 @ 3:52pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog

We've had an amazing week in year 3 this week. We've learned lots of new things in maths, Science and Geography.

In English we have finished reading our book and written our own stories, describing how Muggle Wump outwitted the Twits. We published these and read them to Year 1. Have a look in our galleries.

In maths we have been learning to add and take away on a number line. We found this tricky, especially bridging through the next 10. We have set a number facts challenge on Sumdog to practise number facts to 20. 

In Geography we learned about the physical features of the UK and how maps differ from satellite imagery. We used Google maps and atlases to investigate some of the main physical features in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.

In Science we explored some animal skeletons and tried to identify the different bones. We also learned the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates.

Home Practice

Continue to read every night. The children are getting much better at remembering to change their books. Well done Year 3!

All the spellings this week have the 'or/aw/au/ore/oor'  sounds. Unfortunately we are unable to set a spelling challenge on Sumdog this week so please have a go at some of the other practice ideas on the card.

We have set 2 Sumdog challenges this week. One will cover number facts to 20 and the other will be to practice your times tables.

Have a lovely weekend
