Year 3 Home Learning - Wednesday 25th January

Wonderful World

For their “Home Learning” activity this week, I have suggested that the children make up a poem under the title “What a Wonderful World”.

They should try to include images and ideas that make them feel happy and put a smile on their faces.

In class we have listened to “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong and talked about the words in the song.

 

 

Many Thanks,

Year 3 Mathematics Week 4 - Multiplication Focus ( next week 21.1.17)

Just to let you know that the focus of our work in Mathematics next week (23..1.17) is "Multiplication and Division".

We are always encouraging the children to learn their "Times Tables", but we will be having an increased focus on this at this stage.

For your information, the Age Related Expectations in the National Curriculum at Year 3
"Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables."
- This builds on the knowledge of the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables expected at the end of Year 2.

Year 3 Mozart Game

In our Music lesson today we were finding out about the composer Mozart.
We had a look at a BBC website. The children enjoyed playing the games on this website and some expressed an interest in having a go at home. The web-address is below:
