Year 3 Friday 8th September 2023

Date: 8th Sep 2023 @ 4:32pm

Welcome to your Year 3 Blog

We have had a great first week in Year 3! We have been very impressed with how everyone has settled into the juniors and remembered all our new routines.

In English this week we have started reading our class novel, The Twits by Roald Dahl. We read all about men with hairy faces, met Mr and Mrs Twit and read all about how they play pranks on eachother. Everyone wrote some great pieces, describing the Twits and retelling their horrid tricks.

In maths we have been looking at the place value of three digit numbers. Everyone showed good understanding and asked great questions in our lessons. 

On Friday Fr Michael came to visit and welcomed us back to school. We told him all about our new RE topic, Homes, and what we will be learinng about.

We also started our Art learning this week. We explored shape and space using charcoal and met Laura Mc Kendry who showed us how she used gestures and charcoal to draw dogs. Have a look in our gallery to see some of our creations.

In our new Science topic we are exploring skeletons in animals and humans. We looked at a human skeleton and learned the scientific names for some of the bones in our body. We also learned that the human body has 206 bones and a newborn baby has more than 300! Here is some of the vocabulary we will meet in the coming weeks. 

Home Practice will begin from next Friday. Sumdog is still available and continue reading your new books!

Have a lovely weekend
