Year 3 Friday blog 8th March 2024

Date: 8th Mar 2024 @ 8:09am

Welcome to your Friday Blog

This week we have enjoyed World Book Day, Dance and Yoga. We also added to our brilliant Nature Journals!

Home Practice

Continue with your regular reading. At least 15 minutes every night.

Your Sumdog maths challenges are on the 4 and 8 times table and multiplication and division. Please complete both. Remember your 8 times table is double your 4 times table!   3x4=12 so 3x8 = 24

Practise counting forward and back in 8's or sing our 8's song.

Hit the Button is also a great way to improve fluency.

Your Home Spellings this week all begin with C or K. Look carefully to remember which words begin with C and which begin with K.

This week in Year 3

We have had a brilliant week in Year 3! In English, we wrote police reports, retelling exciting parts of our novel from different perspectives and thinking about how the characters felt at different times in the story. We have seen a huge improvement in our presentation and spelling this week!

In maths, we learnt how to divide using repeated subtraction. We also explored how we can use a vertical number line to find groups and remainders.

In science this week, we took the opportunity to spot signs of Spring with the improved weather. We added to our nature journals and created scientific sketches.

We have been very lucky this term to have visitors from South Ribble to help us with our dance learning and mindfulness though yoga. We have been brilliant and can't wait to show you our dance!

We have loved having our Japanese visitors this week. We have been learning a new song and dance. We will also learn a little about Japanese culture next week.

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy Mother's Day on Sunday

The Year 3 Team.
