Year 3 Friday Blog 15th March 2024

Date: 14th Mar 2024 @ 7:52am

Welcome to your Friday Blog

We have had a very active week this week with Freddie Fit, Dance and Netball with Mrs Cookson

Home Practice

Continue to read every night and remember to change your books with Mrs Lancaster and Mrs Woof! We have loads of great books to read!

We have set 2 maths challenges on Sumdog, fractions and times tables. A little practice every night does the trick!

Please also practise your counting in 10's. Start at 0 and count in 10's up to 210 and back again. For example, 0  10  20 and so on. Then count back 210   200   190  until you get back to 0.

Your spellings this week are based on the different /aw/ sounds.

squawk      scrawny     spawn      drawn      audition     applaud     auction     applause     audience     saucepan     overhaul    astronaut

This week in Year 3

This week we have started our new novel, Toro Toro by Michael Morpurgo. We have been spotting similarities in the story and The Butterfly Lion and writing descriptive pieces about Antonio's farm and the cork forest. Some brilliant pieces and a real improvement on spelling this week! Keep it up Year 3!

In maths we have been learning about volume and capacity and how to add 2 three digit measurements using the formal written method. Super learning this week!

In art we explored lanscapes in preparation for our final piece using fabric, paint and thread. Mrs Robinson was blown away by our work. Check out our gallery.

In geography we learned all about the United States and where it gets it's name. We used atlases and digital globes to locate some states on our maps. 

On Friday, Year 1 came to read their Wild Things stories to us. Year 3 gave great feedback to the children. Great job year 1!

We have had a lovely couple of weeks with Yuri, one of our Japenese students. She made us some matcha tea and taught us a song called Totoro. Thank you Yuri for visiting us!

Have a lovely weekend and a Happy St Patrick's Day
