Year 3 Thursday 19th October

Date: 19th Oct 2023 @ 2:01pm

Welcome to your weekly blog.

This week we have worked hard on our final artworks, using light and shadow to make some moody scenes. We showed these to Year 6 looked at their fantastic dog sculptures.

In English we have been enjoying the mysterious story The Ice Palace and following Ivan's journey through the ice forest. We will find out what happens in the next 2 weeks. This week we have been writing description and remembering our full sentences and careful spelling.

In our maths have been learning about bar charts and how we can use these to show information and solve problems. 

This week in our French lesson we finished our greetings conversation that we started writing in our books last week. This included saying hello, hi or good evening to someone, asking how they are, saying how they are, asking their name, saying their name, saying goodbye, see you later or nice to meet you. The children then completed a range of listening, reading and writing activities to show they have understood the vocabulary from this topic. Next half term, we will be ready to have some new sessions about numbers 1-20 (after we’ve learned about French Halloween!).

We also wrapped up our Science topic all on the human body and nutrition. We had a Kahoot! quiz and remembered lots of our learning from the past few weeks.

In our geography this week we investigated topographical maps which showed how high the land is in different areas. We explored the 3 peaks challenge and found lots of peaks from around the UK.

Home practice

Over half term continue to read regularly and access the Sumdog learning platform little and often.

Have a lovely, well earned rest and we will see you next half term.
