Welcome to your Friday Blog

Home Practice

Mrs Woof and Mrs Lancaster have been so impressed with the progress everyone has been making in their reading. Keep reading every night for 10-15 minutes.

We have set 3 Sumdog challenges for home practice. A column addition practice, a x3 challenge and a spelling challenge. Your spellings are below. 

Continue to practise your counting at home. To build up fluency with the times tables count forward and back in 3s from 0 to 36.

These follow the suffix rules and have multiple syllables. Remember to spell one syllable at a time to break up the word.

This week in Year 3

This week in English we enjoyed reviewing The Twits and started our new story Journey by Aaron Becker. We added speech to the wordless story and explored the feelings of the main character at the start of the story.

In maths this week we've been learning how to use the formal written method for addition. We learnt how to exchange our ones when using the column method. Next week we will be looking at exchanging tens and meeting the formal written method for subtraction.

In RE this week we have been reading the prayers written by Pope Francis about how we can take care of our planet. We talked about how doing little things can make a big difference and the children shared some lovely ideas.

We have been studying climate zones and what features each have. We also tracked the hurricane in Florida and had a good conversation about what causes these storms.

We've been further developing our tactics in some 4V2 invasion games. Everyone's ability defying space and working as a team has been fantastic. Well done Year 3!

On Monday, as part of Forest School, we went for a walk through our top field to spot the changes since we were last there. We spotted a few fungi, blanckberries and acorns. We then explored our log circle area.

What a brilliant week of learning!

Enjoy a well earned rest this weekend.

The Year 3 Team.
