Year 3 Home Practice 16th October 2020

Date: 15th Oct 2020 @ 7:38pm

We have had a wonderful week in Year 3. We have finished reading The Twits – we really enjoyed it and are excited to find out what our next books will be (it is top secret for now)!

We have been using our imagination lots in our writing to write about astronauts, glowing keys, jungles and more. Our imagination is unbeatable – so many fantastic ideas. The stories everybody wrote at home with their spellings in were amazing!

We are still focussing on counting, times tables and number facts in Maths. We have also started to look at 2-D shapes and their properties.

We combined Art with RE this week and made beautiful collages all about ourselves – which groups we belong to and promises we have made. We were amazed to realise how many different groups and clubs we are actually part of.

In PE we have been perfecting our throwing and catching skills and using different techniques to beat a defender in a game. We are really good at working together as a team, encouraging and helping each other.

In French we had our first attempt at using phonic sounds to write French words.
