Welcome to your Friday blog
It was lovely meeting you all this week and talking about how well everyone has settled into Year 3. We have seen huge progress in everyone's attitude and good learning behaviours. Well done Year 3!
This we week have continued reading the Diary of a Killer Cat and wrote some fantastic diary entries. We also explored caves and wrote some fantastic stories about a dramatic cave rescue. The children have used some fantastic vocabulary in their writing this week. Well done!
We have also seen massive improvements in everyone's presentation and handwriting. We had to show this off to all our visitors, so here is a peak at our Proud Wall.
In our maths learing we have been learning how and when to use the formal written method for addition and subtraction. Everyone found this at little tricky at first but with some super listening and concentration we cracked it. We will continue to practise this next week.
In our Science learning we have been exploring the health benefits of regular and varied exercise. The children made some super posters to link their learning this week with their work on a varied diet and nutrition so far. We will publish these next week!
In French, the children have been learning how to say he and she (il and elle) and how to prounce some new words. Tres bien Year 3! Our language leaders have also been fantastic asking their French questions to the children every morning and to the adults on Monday and Tuesday. Be ready to show off your French next week!
On Friday we visited Fr Michael for morning mass. The children were fantastic and sat beautifully throughout their first mass in the juniors.
We also continued to explore texture in our Art learning this week. We looked at 3 natural materials nad had a go at rectreating them in our sketch books. Great effort!
Home Practice
This week we have set a high frequency/common words spelling challenge on Sumdog. This is to further embed these words and increase spelling accuracy when writing at length.
The children will still be tested on the oo, ue, ew, u_e words on Friday.

It was lovely to hear about all the great reading that is going on at home. 20 minutes a night will make a huge difference to your child's learning journey at St Oswald's and beyond. Keep it up!
We have sent home a x3 spelling sheet for practice as well as the sumdog challenges. These are optional but a good way to improve number fluency.
Please also practise counting regularly to build up number fluency.
Count forwards and backwards in 3s, 30s, 5s, 50s.
Have a fantastic weekend
The Year 3 Team
