Happy Friday everyone!

We have had a brilliant week this week! We have had a visit from Freddie Fit and been singing lots in preparation for our Advent assembly in two weeks!

In our English we are really enjoying the Ice Palace. It has been a bit spooky and strange but has everyone on the edge of their seat. We have just arrived at Starjik's Palace and we meet him next week! We have been using words and phrases from the story to improve our writing and everyone has written some amazing pieces. We will share some of these next week.

In our Maths we have been learning how to use our times tables to solve problems and and how to sort numbers into Carroll and Venn diagrams. The children are showing great understanding and their explanations are improving every day.

As part of our Big Draw Art, we have been revisiting our collage making skills. We looked at all the countries taking part in the World Cup and looked at their flags. We then used coloured paper to recreate the flags, including some intricate designs. They've turned out brilliantly!

This week in our PSHE learning, we have been exploring how we can keep ourselves safe at home. We listened to some scenarios and assessed the risk they posed. We had some fantastic discussions and very sensible answers. Everyone was able to describe risks they have noticed and how they can keep themselves safe. Well done Year 3!

This year we have been looking at diversity in our Wonderful World assemblies. We listen to a story that makes us think about others in our world and then respond in our own class book. Everyone has enjoyed these stories and written some some thoughtful ideas. Here is a peak at our class book.

On Tuesday, We were visited by Freddie Fit! He put us through our paces and reminded us all about how to keep healthy and stay fit. Have a look here.

Home Practice

Continue to read every night for at least 20 minutes. 

This week in our spelling we have been practising words that have the or, aw,au,al, oor, ore sounds. We talked about how we can spot patterns to help us remember how to spell these words and to look carefully when writing them.

Here are your spellings for this week!

record     enormous    dinosaur     assault     hawk     squawk    floor     door     score   ignore     chalk     wall

We have also been learning about possessive apostrophes and when to use them!

For your maths challenges we have included a mix of x3 and x4 times tables and some number fact practice. We are seeing a huge improvement in number fluency lately. Keep up the regular practising.

Have a lovely weekend
