Year 3 Home Practice 21st May 2021

Date: 21st May 2021 @ 12:55pm

We have had a very fun week in Year 3. We made beautiful pieces of ocean art after learning about the ocean and about how different creatures adapt to living in the deep sea. We also looked at the different oceans and seas in an atlas in Geography. We then squeezed in another Geography lesson; we couldn’t miss out on the Eurovision Song Contest. We had a lot of fun and laughter listening to the songs by some of the contestants, we rocked some of the dance moves (especially Iceland’s dance) and then we found out about the different countries by looking at maps.

In French we continued to practise reading and writing numbers and days and fruit vocabulary, ready to read The Hungry Caterpillar in French next week.

In Maths we have been focussing on multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number, we are getting very good at this. Knowing our times tables well helps a lot!

In English we have been focussing on splitting our writing into paragraphs and using good words to make our writing exciting.
