Year 3 farm trip tomorrow

Just a quick reminder about the farm trip tomorrow. Children to wear school tops but home trousers. Please come into school in shoes and have wellingtons to change into. They will need shoes to change back into when they get back to school. Coats will be needed please. 

Thank you 

Year 3: Learning this week

 What a fantastic week of learning we have had this week. In Science we have continued to look at how shadows are formed and how we can change the size of them. We have also looked at the difference between opaque, transparent and translucent objects. 

The children worked together to research using a secondary source- how we can protect our eyes?

In Geography we have been looking at keys on maps and looking at the different features you see. 

Finally a massive well done to everyone for performing so well in the assembly yesterday. Although I wasn't able to see it (I was on a course), I heard that they said their lines very confidently and sang our reading song well. Thank you to the children and Miss Alston and Mrs Hall for leading on this and for helping the children at home practice their lines. 

Just a reminder that if the children could try and access Spelling Shed at home this would really benefit their learning of their spellings. The spellings change each week and will match the children's spellings sent home on a friday. You can get this as an app on a tablet or through a laptop. It can also be downloaded onto a phone. 

Have a great weekend everyone

Year 3: Home learning + Spellings 24th March

Year 3: Castles and assembly

 Last week the children finished their castles. They worked in pairs to design, make and evaluate their castles. They learnt how to form 3D nets. 

The children have finished their stories now and are making corrections. 

This week we will be practising our class assembly.  Please do join us this Friday from 9.20am in the hall. The children will be showing you about our learning in Year 3 so far. Lines were sent home on Friday, please do practice these at home. 

Year 3: Learning this week

This week we have been busy planning our stories. We started the week planning in our books and then we made a story map with pictures and words to help us all to remember the story. We have spent time writing a fantastic first paragraph and editing it to make sure it has interesting word choices and fronted adverbials. 

In the mornings this week, before our Maths lessons start, the children have been using the base ten resources to help them with division. We've used the base ten to help with exchanging tens. 

In Science we were investigating whether or not we can see items with a lack of light and which items we can see easier (reflective items). 

Our working Scientifically focus this week was to be able to record our findings in a table. 

In D&T the children were working in partners to start to form the shapes they will need for their castles. The skills focus for this was to be able to fold and score along a line. This was particularly tricky when trying to stick the nets together to form the shapes. 

If you have any kitchen roll tubes and small boxes such as cereal boxes or smaller,  we would love to have these for Friday when we will be making our castles. Thank you. 

Please can we have AR books in everyday.

*Reminder: Friday is Comic relief. Children are encouraged to wear something red or dress as their hero.  Cake donations are welcomed for an after school cake sale please.

Year 3: Home learning week 3

 

Year 3: Week 2 Home Learning

 

Year 3: A week full of fun and mystery

This week we had a strange riddle that we needed to follow which lead us out into the Forest School area to find lots of clues. We found many things form a half eaten ball to a torch, book and magnifying glass and this book. 

This week we have used this book to write fronted adverbials about how the creatures inside move about the forest. 

Thank you to everyone that did the Maths home learning. Multiplication methods can seem daunting but if you work through the steps they are actually very simple to answer. We have found this out this week where we have carried on our work with this. 

It was fantastic having a range of characters in on Thursday for World book day and brilliant that the children chose to write a song today about their love of reading (we will share this with you in our class assembly). 

This afternoon the children have started to think about planning a story and in DT they have started their plans of what they would like their castles to be like.

Thank you to all the parents that came and listened to our story at the end of the day. 

Have a lovely weekend and we'll see you next week.
