Year 3 Friday Blog - 10th December

Date: 10th Dec 2021 @ 1:16pm

Welcome to your Friday blog.

We have had a very exciting week this week.

We loved Christmas Jumper Day on Friday - everybody looked amazing. We gave out our Christmas cards and also enjoyed a Christmas lunch. 

In our English lessons this week we have been writing our very own Christmas stories. We have used lots of interesting words to make our stories really exciting. Everybody has tried really hard. 

In geography we have been looking at lots of different maps online and in atlases. We love looking at maps to see where we live and to see what different places we recognise. We picked out physical and human features of Longton. At the start of our geography lessons we have been trying to name cities around the world, we have found this tricky. So try to find out the names of some cities  by talking to people in your house and looking on maps and on the internet. 

In maths we have been learning different methods to subtract. We found this a bit difficult at first, but we are getting the hang of it now and will be doing some more practice next week. 

We also created our 2022 calendars in art. Everyone was very creative with their collages and shape ideas. Well done year 3!

Home Practice

Continue to access the Sumdog training feature to practise tricky skills in both spelling and maths. Try to use the times tables feature too. A little Sumdog every night will make all the difference.

Read out loud to somebody every night for 20 minutes. Talk about what you have read.

Practise the 4x tables by listening to the song and playing on Hit The Button. 

Count out loud in 10s:

Forwards from 56 to 356.

backwards from 821 to 521. 

You will be tested on your spellings and 4x tables on Tuesday 14th December. Try to practise every day. 

Have a great weekend!
