Year 3 Friday 17th January 2025

Date: 17th Jan 2025 @ 3:47pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog

We have had a jam packed week of learning!

Home Practice

Keep changing your books regularly and read for at least 15-20 minutes every night! 

Well done to everyone who completed their Sumdog challenges and even had some time to practise on the Sumdog Training. Three new challenges have been added today. Remember, little and often every night will benefit your children with their learning in school.

Try and do a little counting at home as well. This will promote number fluency and understanding. There are lots of counting games here at ictgames.com that we use in school. You will also find lots of counting songs on YouTube.

We have given out your home spellings to practice for next week's test. In our spelling lessons this week we have been revisiting our spelling strategies. We have been breaking our words into syllables to help us spell more accurately and using what we already know to spell new words.

Your Spellings this week are from the year 3/4 statutory spelling list.

fruit, grammar, guide, guard, heart, height, imagine, increase, interest, length, group, heard, history, important, knowledge, library

This week in year 3

In RE we are really enjoying learning about the three wise men and what happened to them on their journey to visit the baby Jesus. We made some puppets and recreated the story.

We have loved reading Orion and the Dark. This week we focused on non-fiction writing, looking at darkness and light and created some fantastic non-fiction reports on the dark. We explored our Whizz Pop Bang magazine to see how non-fiction reports are laid out and then shared our work with Year 2. Check out our gallery!

In Maths we have been learning how to use x10 to help us solve tricky problems. We have also revisited our partitioning model to multiply 2 digit numbers. Well done Year 3!

In Geography we conucted a map study of all the countries in North America and then recreated their some of their designs. We talked about the importance countries place on their flags and what the colours and pictures represent. Next week we will look at the human and physical geography of the continent. See our gallery!

In PE we started our Superheroes dance topic. We learned how to put emotion into our dances and showed fantastic teamwork to create our performamces. Super dancing!

Have a restful weekend
