Welcome to your Friday Blog
We have had a lovely time in Year 3 this week starting lots of new topics and making our Lenten promises.
Home Practice
It has been lovely catching up with you all on parents evening and hearing about all the great reading at home. Keep it up. We've added some top tips below to help you support your child at home.
We have set 3 challenges on Sumdog for you to complete. You can also access the training to improve number and spelling fluency.
Your spellings this week come from the statuatory spelling list for year 3.

This week in Year 3
We are loving our new novel Journey to Jo'burg! We have been looking carefully at our presentation this week as well as using vocabulary to up level our writing. Have a look in our galleries for some of your writing. We will be sharing more in the coming weeks.
In maths we have learnt how to use the compensation strategy to multiply by 19. We also solved word problems using the grid method. Super maths this week Year 3!
In Art we started our new topic of Cloth, Thread and Paint by exploring the work of the artist Alice Kettle. We watched her create some pieces and sketchbooked some ideas of our own. Check out our gallery! We have also added a gallery showing our clay models. Click the picture to learn more about Alice Kettle and her fabulous artwork!
In Science we started a new topic about Light. We sorted light sources and discussed what we already knew about the topic. Check out our posters below to see what we will be covering in this topic.
Have a great weekend
