Year 3 Blog 16th September 2022

Date: 16th Sep 2022 @ 1:33pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog

This week we have been working hard in all our subjects and are continuing to shine as juniors!

We have been enjoying The Twits and have been looking at speech in the story. This has helped us to write in full sentences, remembering to write one idea at a time. The children acted some scenes out and even wrote their own scripts. 

In maths we have been learning how to use a number line and partition to add and subtract 2 digit numbers. This has been tricky but everyone has worked hard and made super progress with this new strategy. 

In our PE we have been learning some new tactics and strategies to pass the ball in a game of netball. We explored bounce, chest and lob passes. Have a look at our gallery to see us in action.

In our Stone Age learning we have been asking some great questions about life in Stone Age Britain. We also had a go at telling some stories about ourselves through cave paintings. Have a look in our gallery here. 

Home Practice

Reading

Read every night for at least 20 minutes. Regular reading is a great habit to get into. It will make all the difference as your children move through the juniors, allowing them to access more and more of our curriculum.

Spellings

Your children will have brought home a spelling card with their spellings to practise.

We have been learning to apply our phonics knowledge to our spellings and finding patterns. Eg. If I can spell corn, I can spell born, torn, worn.

We have also added some ideas on how to practise these at home. They are also available on Sumdog, little and often is the key!

Maths

We have set two maths challenges this week on Sumdog. Please practise the two times tables to improve accuracy and recall speed. We have also set a challenge on reading and counting three digit numbers.

Please also practise counting regularly to build up number fluency.

Count forwards and backwards in 10s from any 3 digit number. 

Eg. 157, 167, 177,187, 197, 207

Have a lovely weekend
