Welcome to your Friday blog

This week we have enjoyed the sunshine and finally got onto the field for sports!

Home Practice

Continue with your regular reading. With the nice weather, why not create a nice outdoor reading nook with some cushions and blankets.

This week we have set an addition and subtraction practice challenge as well as your times tables practice. We have set the times tables challenges to typed answers from now on to help with recall.

Continue to practise your counting. This week practise counting in fractions to see what you can remember from our fractions learning.

This week your home spellings end in -gue and -que.

Reminders

Please make sure all PE kits are in school every day! We are getting ready for Sports Day and will be taking part in lots of sport in the coming term.

This week in Year 3

This week has been jam-packed with exciting learning opportunities in our classroom. We finished reading the thrilling mystery story, 'The Deathwood Letters', and were inspired to retell the story in our own words. We also interviewed each other and recorded our own book reviews.

In maths, we have been learning about position and direction, focusing on positional vocabulary and following intructions. We also started our time topic, learning how to read time to the nearest minute. Try and practise telling the time at home this week.

In Computing this week we have programmed our very own flappy bird games. Check out our gallery to play these on your devices at home.

In RE we have been learning about Pentecost and the gifts of the Holy Spirit this week. We also went to mass on Ascension Thursday and celebrated the feast day with Fr Michael.

In History this week we looked at ancient Egyptian artefacts and tried to figure out who might have used these in Ancient Egyptian society. Have a look in our gallery.

Have a lovely weekend
