Welcome to your Friday Blog
We have had a lovely week in Year 3
We have started our new book, Roald Dahl's BFG. We have been using to book and exploring Dahl's writing style to create some great desriptive pieces of writing. We have described The Witching Hour, from chapter one and been drafting a character description of the BFG himself.
Next week we will be watching some clips from the live action movie which has a PG rating. If you don't want your child watching the movie, please notify the school office and we will provide an alternative.
In maths we have been doing some tricky learning on column additon and subtraction. We have been looking at how to exhange and estimate to help us check our answers. We have set some new maths challenges on Sumdog to practice our maths skills and improve our number fluency.
In French, we read some short texts in French about pets to see if we could understand. Then we went on to read an advert for a zoo and drew the animals that could be seen there. Next week, we will try to write a tour of our zoo!
In Science, we learnt how fertilisation takes place in plants after pollination, then how seeds are dispersed in different ways. We discussed how the design of the seed helps in dispersal. Our cucumber and courgettte seeds are beginning to germinate so they will soon be ready for planting out in the polytunnel.
Home Practice
Continue to read every night. We have been talking this week about how reading can help with so many areas of learning. The children had some great ideas.
We have set 3 Sumdog challenges this week on number, times tables and on your spellings. This week we have been looking at homophones and discussing what rules we use to spell.
Here are your spellings - piece, peace, knot, not, break, brake, accept, except, plain, plane, whether, weather
Have a great weekend
