Year 3 Blog Friday 3rd November 2023

Date: 3rd Nov 2023 @ 3:41pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog

We have had a great week back in Year 3 this week and the children have been very keen to continue their learning.

In English, we have been concentrating on the use of interesting vocabulary, using adjectives to add more detail to our writing and to show feeling and similes to describe landscapes.  We have used clues from the text and our imaginations to write predictions as to what we think might happen next in the story.  Now we have finished reading the book, we are looking forward to using these ideas to help write our own story.

In Maths we have completed our work on bar charts and begun to look at addition and using formal written methods.

In Science we have begun our topic on rocks and soils and in PSHE we are looking at keeping safe in the home and school; our bodies; hygiene; medicines and household products.  The children showed a good awareness recognising hazards that may cause harm or injury and what they should do to reduce risk and keep themselves (or others) safe.

In French, it was Halloween! We discussed whether some facts about Halloween in France were vrai o faux, we learned some vocabulary for typical Halloween things and were able to write the correct French word and English meaning for each picture in our books. We then played ‘What’s missing?’ and also had a chance to complete a French wordsearch with the Halloween vocabulary.

Home Practice

Don’t forget to keep up with the fantastic home reading. Here is a reminder of the link to some Year 3 recommended reads if you want to extend your home libraries.

Have a lovely weekend!
