Year 3 Friday 10th November 2023

Date: 10th Nov 2023 @ 4:02pm

Welcome to your Friday Blog.

We have had another great week in Year 3.

In English, we have written our own story based on the book Ice Palace, trying to use adjectives and similes for description and adverbs to make the story more interesting.  The children have enjoyed finishing this complete with illustrations and cover page.

In Maths we have continued to work on addition and are now learning how to do subtraction using formal written methods.

In Art we have begun a study of L S Lowry’s painting ‘Coming from the Mill’ looking at shapes, lines and colours.  We are going to use these to make a collage inspired by this painting.

In Geography we looked at the counties, rivers and hills in the North West of the UK and found where Preston was.

This week in French, we started our new topic of Numbers 0-20. We started the lesson recapping numbers 0-5 and then 0-10. We listened to KidsTV123 ‘Numbers Song in French’ to help count up to 10. We sang this faster each time! Our first activity was to find the correct number for the French words, our second activity was to count fruit, and our third activity was to say which number was missing. We also listened to Learn French Through Music ‘French Numbers Song’ which also got faster each time! To show we knew numbers 0-10, we drew the right number of fish in a fish bowl and the right number of spots on a ladybird.
