Hi everyone, We have been thinking a lot about the presentation of our learning this week to make sure it is neat. The children have risen to the challenge and their new books are looking very smart. We are continuing to learn about three-digit numbers in maths. We have been placing them on a number line and learning how to use place value counters. We have started our unit on biographies by reading about Henri Matisse. In science, the children really enjoyed showing each other their materials and we talked about what different materials are used for. In PE, we have been continuing to practise our footwork and been learning how to throw accurately. In Life Skills, we have started learning about families. For Art we have been learning about tints and shades, we used this for the inspiration for our abstract Christmas cards. We continued learning about the creation story in RE. In Music we have been practising Harvest songs ready for the harvest festival next month. We can now introduce ourselves in French and use the phrase J'ai besoin which means 'I need'. What a busy week! We hope you have a lovely weekend. Year 3 Team “My favourite thing this week was Art. I enjoyed mixing the paint and making different tints and shades of purple.” “My favourite thing was PE. We had a competition throwing bean bags in to hoops and then we played connect 4 with them.” Hi Everyone The children have been working really hard on being ready to learn this week and using every minute of their learning time effectively. We are feeling very proud. We are continuing our learning of place value in Maths. We are now beginning to work with three-digit numbers and using equipment like Base 10 to make them. We have started writing our own poems about a painting that we have chosen. In science, we completed a materials hunt and started to think about variables in experiments. In PE, we have been learning all about side-stepping and pivoting. We have been discussing the Christian creation story this week in RE. We discussed the order and importance of each step. There were some excellent ideas. I especially liked a question from Ross, who wondered what came before God. In Art we have been creating Christmas card designs ready for printing. In Music we have been learning about rhythm and pulse, forte and piano. We have been singing and playing the glockenspiels. Hope you have a good rest of your week and weekend. Year 3 Team Hi Everyone I've been so impressed by the children this week. They have shown some really great learning behaviours especially when talking in front of the class and listening to each other. They are really off to a great start. We have started our place value unit in Maths. We have looked at two-digit numbers and we will start on three-digit numbers soon. We have been reading Paint Me A Poem in English. It is a book of poems inspired by paintings and sculptures written by Grace Nichols. The children have been reading poems, learning poems and will perform their poems to the class today (photos below). Next week, they will write their own poems. In computing, we have started looking at computer networks and in science, we have started learning about scientific investigations and materials. In PE, they have been learning all about teamwork and practising their ball skills. Hope you have a good rest of your week and weekend. Year 3 Team Hello Willow Class, It was so lovely to welcome back Willow Class this week and we've been impressed with how motivated they are for Year 3. Today, we had a quiet time reflecting on yesterday’s sad news and learning about the life of Queen Elizabeth. The whole school has taken part in a memorial assembly rather than the usual praise assembly. In Maths, we reasoned with number bonds to ten, working in partners to solve a puzzle. In Art, we began to create a mixed media piece integrating the Union Jack with a portrait of Queen Elizabeth. We learnt the basic rules for drawing portraits. We've learnt how to introduce ourselves in French. The children have settled in very well and are getting used to new routines. We will send out spellings next week. Many children have been benchmarked for reading, but not all yet. Please make sure to read at home every day and practise times tables. Have a lovely weekend, Miss Boyce, Miss Keen and Ms Westcott |
