Welcome to your Friday Blog

We have enjoyed our harvest celebration this week and finished our Twits class novel.

Home Practice

Read, read and read some more. Everyone is making great progress with their reading and we're very pleased with all the book changing that is happening!

We have set 2 maths challenges for your Sumdog practice. We have been learning about bar charts this week, so there is a challenge to practise these skills. Also, we've set a x2,x5,x10 and x3 times tables practice. Try have ago on both! 

Keep counting as well. Here is a counting playlist to listen and sing along to.

For your spellings this week, we are revisiting the suffix rules. Have a go at practising these words, choose 2 or 3 a day. There is also a Sumdog Spelling challenge on these words.

This week in Year 3

We have loved reading The Twits! Lost of laughs and gasps and great discussion. We have written some play scripts and a letter to the Twits this week and on Monday we will be reviewing the story with our own book reviews.

In maths, we have learning to read bar charts and answer addition and difference questions using the information. The children have shown brilliant understanding with their maths learning this week.

In RE this week we read The Song of The Animals written by Saint Francis of Assisi. We talked about which parts of this poem showed how St Francis was thanking God for his creation and created some lovely art to accompany our ideas.

In art, we have been exploring texture and depth and used our skills to sketch some plants in torchlight. Check out our gallery.

In PE, we have been practising our throwing, catching and tactics in some 4V1 games. We also focussed on honesty and fairness when playing these games. Have a look in our gallery.

In geography this week, we explored the physical features of the UK using different maps. We discussed the differences between human and physical features and created our own physical maps of the UK.
