It has been a very busy but enjoyable week in Year 3.

In English, we have now covered all of our focus toolkits and have started to apply our newly acquired skills into creating our own characterisation narrative. We will be continuing to work on this next week.

In Maths, we have now completed our unit on place value and had great fun today going on a number hunt to find and sort ourselves into a human number line counting in intervals of 50.  We will be moving on to our next unit that focusses on addition and subtraction.

For our foundation subjects we have explored the following topics:

History – Iron age and how this influenced trade and changes to settlements

Art – Cave art from around the world

Science – How fossils are formed over thousands of years. We also made our own fossils out of clay!

Home Learning:

Doodle - Please continue to support your child’s learning by accessing the Doodle Learning platform and remaining in the green zone for English, Maths and Times tables

Reading -   Please continue hear your child read at least five times during the week, and sign and date when you listen to them in their reading records.

Spellings -  This week’s focus will continue to be on suffix endings.  Below are words to practise with your child, both in isolation as well as writing them in a sentence:

crossed,  trusted,  asked,  walked,  laughed,  spotted,  grabbed,  crunched

Changemaker Project -  Please start to send in any evidence your child has collected of the task they chose from the Friendship section of the Change maker project. We are really looking forward to seeing and celebrating their efforts with them.

Next Week:

Please could I kindly ask for donations of boxes of tissues; we have a number of runny noses as we enter the autumn season – Many thanks!

Finally just a quick reminder that we have our class trip to Celtic Harmony on Tuesday 14^th Oct.  We will be leaving at 8.30am by coach, so please could you drop your child to school by 8.15am.   We are all really looking forward to an exciting day out experiencing what it was like to live in the Stone Age.

Have a relaxing weekend

Mrs Collett
