Year 3 Blog Friday 30th September 2022

Welcome to your Friday Blog

We have had an amazing week of learning in Year 3. Everyone is showing a brilliant attitude to everything we do and we are very impressed!

We have finished reading The Twits now and can’t wait to start reading The Diary of a Killer Cat by Anne Fine next week. We loved writing about The Twits and have been improving our writing by looking carefully at our spelling and presentation and by writing in paragraphs.

 Everyone is trying their best to improve their writing. Amazing effort everyone!

In our maths learning we have been learning to measure cm and mm and and calculating the perimeter of 2D shapes. Your Sumdog challenge this week is based on this learning. We have also been practising our adding, subtraction and difference on number lines. Everyone is improving their understanding with this method. Spot some super working out here.

In our computing learning we explored computer networks and different connections. We also looked at sending information and the importance of a network switch. Have a look at our gallery here.

In our PSHE, we had a great discussion on what we should do when our friendships aren't working out. We had some great ideas and everyone listened respectfully.

In history we stepped into the past and told the story of a day in the Stone Age. We told this in both super sentences and with a cave painting. Everyone  was excited to go hunting for their dinner!

Home Practice

This week we have sent home two sheets to practice number facts to 10 and 20. This is an optional task but fluency in these (speed and accuracy) will help with all future number learning in Year 3. 

Your Sumdog maths challenge has a perimeter and space focus. 50 questions! Do your best!

We have also entered the class into the Lancashire maths contest. These questions will be based on what skills your child needs to build fluency in. 

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 -al pattern. Have a go at some of the other practice ideas on the card. 

Have a lovely weekend
