Year 3 Home Practice 14th May

Date: 14th May 2021 @ 12:46pm

We have had a very messy and fun week in Year 3.

We have made our own Ancient Egyptian mummies out of clay and tissue paper, we have experimented with celery and food colouring to find out about the function of different plant parts, and we have made gums and teeth out of salt dough in our PSHE lesson all about keeping our teeth healthy. We have worked so well as a team in all of these lessons and have been very respectful of the classroom by tidying and cleaning up after ourselves.

In Maths we have been looking at subtracting big numbers by using a written method and have been practising dividing by 5.

In English we have been focussing on using exciting words to describe – we might spot some good words to describe when we are reading at home.

Home Practice for 14^th May – 21^st May

The key to completing your home practice is to do a little bit every night.

Reading

Read to somebody at home every night for 20 minutes. Talk about what you have read.

Times Tables

Please practise the division facts for the 4x tables on Hit the Button. Play 3 games every night. See how much quicker you can get each night.
