Year 3 Week 5...

 Can you believe we are in week 5 of Autumn 2 already?! 

So this week we will be finishing off our independent learning challenges from before our Christmas inspired writing week. We will start to plan an expedition story based on Shackleton's journey. 

Tomorrow it will be the turn of Slytherin and Hufflepuff for Forest School so please can the children come to school as they previously have. Wednesday will be Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. 

See you all tomorrow!

Special Writing Challenge

This week I would like to invite you to take part in the #inspiredtolearn writing challenge.  There are prizes on offer for each class in school, so get your thinking caps on.  You could write a song, poem, wrap or even as a diary entry or a letter!  You choose!  We will make sure that all home learning that is with us by Friday 4th December is entered into the competition.

Quick Quiz

We will be singing a song to The Grinch in the coming weeks, all about food, to try and get him to love Christmas.  Could you spend some time reading or singing the words together to the tune…. “Food, Glorious Food” from Oliver Twist?  We really do need to make The Grinch love Christmas!

Year 3 this week




Their faces say it all! 

What an amazing day we had yesterday. The children loved seeing the decorated hall and made some beautiful decorations which we have put on or under the tree. During Literacy for the rest of the week we will be focussing on Christmas inspired writing linked to The Polar Express. 

In Maths this week we have just finished the end of unit 2 so will be moving on to unit 3. This still focuses on addition and subtraction. 

Tomorrow afternoon we will be outside for a small amount of time so please can the children wear their forest school trousers. 

Thank you 😀🎄🎅

Watch out for Mr Grinch! - 22nd November 2020

 Well, what an exciting end to the week.  Mr Grinch surprised us at the school gates on Friday and he has promised to come back so that we can teach him the true meaning of Christmas.  I wonder what this week will hold?  One thing is clear - Christmas is not cancelled!  We are determined that this Christmas will be one to remember and we will teach Mr Grinch to love this time of year.  Get ready for some fun learning! See you on Monday.

Proud of Presentation!

This week we would like you to show us your best presentation skills.  You can either complete the handwriting sheet attached to this home learning or copy out a part of your favourite story or poem.  We would like to make a display of your neatest handwriting in class.  Try using a pen if you can and remember to join your writing.  You might even like to add a border or decorate your finished work!


Mathletics Madness:

This week we have been taking part in the Mathletics Challenge, but we have been so busy in class we haven’t had time!  So, I have set you some addition and subtraction activities to try.  Your mission is to help us earn as many points as you can before Sunday.  Log onto Mathletics and see if you can earn some points and maybe get a certificate this week.  We will be handing out Mathletics trophies this week to one lucky certificate winner.
