Welcome to your Friday Blog

We have had a great week in Year 3 this week. It was lovely chatting to you all about your children's learning at parents evening and I look forward to speaking to the reast of you next week. THe children are very excited to show off their learning.

This week we we have been reading deeper into the Ice Palace and learning how to add description and suspense into our writing. We have also been working hard on our presentation and sentence structure.

In Maths we have been learning about the perimeter of 2D shapes and started our topic on statistics. We have inroduced bar charts and compared these to the different charts we have met already.

In RE we have started our new topic on Promises which will look at Baptism. The children came up with some lovely contributions about how they keep promises and why their actions are important.

We are coming to the end of our Art topic exploring charcoal. This week we used the pictures from our novel as inspiration, looking again at light and dark when creating a scene. Check out our gallery.

Home Practice

Keep up with the fantastic home reading. Here is a link to some Year 3 recommended reads if you want to extend your home libraries. You can also find our reading VIPERS in our galleries that will help you with your questioning when listening to your child read.

On Sumdog we have entered the class into the lancashire contest. This will run all week and cover a range of topics. We have also set some times tables practice on the x2, x5 and x10. With these focus on speed as well as accuracy.

Here are your home spellings for this week

Have a lovely weekend
