Welcome to your Friday Blog
We have had an amazing week of learning in Year 3. Everyone is showing a brilliant attitude to their learning and we have been very impressed!
In our English learning we have been looking at vocabulary to improve our ideas. Everyone created some fantastic descrtiptions of Mr Stink's mystery photo, using some fabulous words. Here are some of our favourite sentences.
The man in the photo looked handsome in his bow tie and best suit.
The lady next to him looked beautiful and elegant. She looked like a movie star!
The seats were immaculately perfect and comfortable.
In our Maths learning we have been exploring pictograms and bar charts. We found this new learning tricky to start with but we have been very impressed with everyone's resilience. Well done Year 3!
On Friday we had our Go Green Day. We switched off our lights and worked by candlelight. We thought about how we could be more green and came up with some fantastic ideas on how we as a class could look after our environment.
As a class we came up with some pledges.
We are going to try and use less electricity, eat less meat and pick up litter.
In our Science we have finished our topic on Rocks. Everyone showed amazing knowledge and applied this to find out what rock would be best for a new paved area in school. Super science!
Next week we will be starting our new topic investigating light.
On Thursday we marked Rembrance day with a moment of silence. We also wrote some thoughful poems and created videos to present them. Click the links below to listen.
Home Practice
Reading
Read to somebody for 20 minutes every night and talk about what you have read.
Spelling
This week we have been revisiting our il,le el and al spellings and explored homophones,(eg, to, too, two). We have seen a lot of improvement in everyone's spellings. Keep up the regular practice.
Your Sumdog spellings will go on tonight. There is also a spelling training feature which will challenge everyone with words they aren't as accurate on. Use this for practice once you have learned your spellings.
