Another busy week of exciting learning in Year 3. In maths we have continued to learn about fractions. We have been finding fractions of amounts, comparing fractions and finding equivalents. In English there has been lots of reading and quizzing happening and we are so proud of how well the children are doing. We have been continuing our non-fiction topic all about the Roman Empire and learning about Julius Caesar. We have been picking out important facts and reading poetry too. We have also been continuing to practise our complex sentences using facts about the Romans that we have learned. The children have continued to be so enthusiastic when practising our Roman information and have been able to use this information during our lessons. In RE, we have been thinking about the resurrection and have written some lovely prayers. In geography the children have continued to explore the Arctic and have written information sheets. In science the children have been finding out all about magnets.
Let’s Celebrate:
This week we celebrate Lily-Mae and Matilda. Lily-Mae receives an enthusiastic Bobby Bee certificate for her enthusiasm and excitement about her learning. You are so bubbly and full of ideas Lily Mae. It is a pleasure to have you in our class and you are always such a co-operative Roger Robin too. Well done Lily-Mae. Matilda you receive a Roger Robin certificate for being such a lovely learning partner and a kind and considerate member of our class. You are always so willing and enthusiastic to help others and we all really appreciate how kind and generous you are. Thank you so much.
We are also proud to celebrate Anncia who received Jacqui's Marvellous Manners this week and Christian who was Lunchtime Role Model of the week. Well done children.
Well done also to Owen who has achieved 100% of his reading target this week. You are doing a great job and I know that you love reading so much. Keep up the good work.
Things to Note:
Please check the Home Learning page for this week’s home learning. Thank you.
Mrs Curtis has asked that the children bring an old white t.shirt for their work on textiles and printing for Monday. Please see Mrs Curtis’s blog too. Thank you.
As the weather starts to improve, please make sure that all sweatshirts/cardigans/tracksuits are labelled so that they can be returned easily if they are taken off and put down. Thank you.
Please can we also ask that all children have a water bottle so that they can have a drink during the day. If the weather is going to be sunny, please ensure that the children have suncream on for playtimes. Thank you.
I am looking forward to being able to share your child’s progress with you at our virtual parents meeting which takes place in May. Miss Hornby’s blog explains how to sign up for this. Please ensure that you have signed up. Thank you.
We hope that you all have a lovely weekend. Hopefully we will have some more of this lovely sunshine.
Take care and stay safe,
The Year 3 Team
