Year 3: First week of Spring

 This week the children have settled back into school routines incredibly well. In Power Maths we have been focussing on the 3 times table and on Friday all children completed at least 60 times table questions! They understood that if they could work out the first set (1x3-12x3) then they could work out the rest. Some children then went on to do an extra 60 questions which included division. To help us with our times tables this week we have been watching times table videos. 

In English we have been learning how to use conjunctions in sentences and giving justification on what items we would take to Antarctica. We have started to learn about the explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and will use this as our stimulus for writing over the next couple of weeks. 

In Science we have started our topic on Health and Nutrition. We have started to look at food packing and what makes a healthy diet. The home learning this week is linked to this as we would like you to compare two food items that you like to eat at home. 

In Geography we have been learning about the lines of longitude and latitude, where the northern and southern hemisphere is and countries that are near the equator. 

Swimming went well this week, Mr MacBean said that the 1610 staff havr now assessed the children and so next week they will be in the groups that they are meant to be in. Please do remember hats and can all the children have their coats in school. Especially after the very unpredictable weather we have been having. 

This coming Friday is the Year 3 parent information session. During this session I will tell you all about our learning over the coming term. 

I hope you've been able to enjoy some of this dry weather 🤞
