Welcome to year 3!

We have enjoyed the start of our new school year in year 3. We have started maths, done a lot of jigsaw and we even started learning about Ancient Egypt today for our history topic this term.

We have been given our reading records and reading books today and we need to read three times a week as part of our homework as well as TTRS. Please make sure that PE kits are in school all week.

WEEK 3

What a week it has been! Year 3 is well and truly underway and the children have settled well into their new routines and expectations. All the Year 3 team are so proud of the attitude of the class and their eagerness to learn.

We have continued learning about The Wild Robot in our English lessons. Lesson by lesson, page by page, we are learning more and more about this fascinating book and cannot wait to see where it takes us. The children have learned about sequencing, summarisation and character description.

In maths, the children would have given a young Carl Friedrich Gauss a run for his money. Their ability in mathematics has shone through this week. As a class, we have had a real focus on numbers to 1000. Partitioning, decomposing, exchanging and changing: all the things which the children can now do.

Opening Worlds has continued full steam ahead- I never knew it was possible to learn so much so quickly. The Year 3 team are so pleased to see how much information the children are able to recall and recite from their OW lessons. Listening to the children recount the story of Howard Carter from memory has definitely been a highlight of the year so far.

Music- we are listening

PE- we are dancing.

French- we are greeting.

Bring on week 4!

WEEK 2

We have started our class book in English called, The Wild Robot. We have also been learning how to write in full sentences. 

In maths we have learning about number lines and partitioning numbers.

Geography was fun. We are learning about rivers and especially the River Indus which flows from the Himalayas, through some of India and then through Pakistan out to the Arabian Sea.

We are also starting RE this today and this will be about Rama and Sita.

PE is great fun, we are learning a dance to the book, Matilda.
