Year 3 Friday 24th November 2023

Date: 24th Nov 2023 @ 3:44pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog

We have had a fantastic week of learning this week in Year 3. 

In English, we have started writing our own versions of the Journey, story by Aaron Becker. We have been focusing on presentation this week as well as sentence structure. Next week we hope to take our stories to year one and year six and publish them to the website.

In maths, we will be learning new multiplication strategies, including using partitioning to help us with trickier problems. Everyone is showing great understanding with this this is down to great listening and concentration in class. Well done Year 3!

In music, we started with a new song, Hey Ho Nobody home. We looked at how the rhythm was written and clapped the rhythm from notation. We learnt to sing thethird verse of We will rock you, the Stone Age song, accompanying with rhythms on stones. We discussed the different parts of the song – verse, chorus and instrumental. We played a rhythm game – Forbidden Rhythm. We began to learn carols for Christmas – Starry Night and O little town of Bethlehem.

We have also been practising our assembly this week. We have given out everyone a line to practice over the weekend. We are looking forward to to perform on Friday.

In art, we have been completing our collages based on the story journey by Aaron Becker. Have a look at our gallery which shows some of our artwork and the pictures we have used for inspiration.

This week we also completed our RSHE and RE topics. In RSHE we looked at friendships and how we can mend broken ones. We also finished our Baptism learning. Next week we will begin our topic on Advent and Preparations.
