Hi
The children have had a great, first, full week back. I'm very impressed at their learning behaviours. They are getting extremely independent and taking risks with their learning. We have given out a lot of Dojos and they are really well deserved.

We have continued looking at Marvin and Milo to see what we can learn about how it is written to help us with our writing. The children and I have been looking at the sentence structure and working out how to explain scientific ideas. In maths, we have carried on looking at multiplication. This year, the children will need to do learn the 2, 5, 10, 4, 8 and 3 times tables. We have started looking at these facts in class but please keep practising at home.

In science, we have looked at how to make noises in different ways and how to make higher and lower sounds using musical instruments.

We have been encouraging the children to write in their own reading diaries when they have read. Please could you initial when you get chance.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week. Loving the sunshine!

Hi
Just a welcome back and brief update as it is only a short week. Hope you all had a fantastic break.

We have continued our work on multiplication and division in maths by starting to look at the three times table. We have started our science learning on sound. We are learning about how we hear and how important vibration is. Here is a picture of Marnie investigating how sound waves are made using a tuning fork. For our new book, we are reading Marvin and Milo. I have included some information about it on the home learning sheet.

It has been great to see everyone! Have a great Friday and weekend.

Hi Everyone

Happy Christmas! It is the last week of term. Winter term is always a long one but it seems to have gone really quickly. We are extremely proud of the children and everything they have achieved this term. Not only have they done well academically but they are also becoming much more independent and confident. It has genuinely been a joy and pleasure to work with them.

This week, we have continued learning about sharing and grouping when dividing in maths. We have written poems using kennings - see below. In PSHE, we have learnt about how to stay safe online as well as completing our learning about being respectful. The children acted out how to behave respectfully and disrespectfully. We have also enjoyed lots of Christmas singing, lunch and lots of other things!

We hope you have a fantastic Christmas break and a very happy New Year.

Hi Everyone

I can't believe this is the penultimate week of this term and that Christmas is only just around the corner. We have been working hard this week on assessments and the children have been amazing. They have all concentrated and tried really hard. They should be very proud of their effort and their progress. A big well done to the children who are all practising their times table so hard at home.

This week we finished writing our story about Earth being covered in rubbish. The children have worked really hard on all the new things we have been learning. I loved reading their stories. They have all started to use inverted commas for speech which can be really tricky. Well done to everyone.

We started our work on anti-bullying on Monday. The children have thought about what bullying is and how to stop it. They made some lovely posters to explain this. They have also written up their science experiment to find out which is the strongest and most absorbent material to wipe up spillages.

It is Odd Sock Day on Friday. I hope they have a great Friday and weekend. This week is the last week for home learning. This will come out tomorrow.

Hi Everyone
It is starting to feel a bit like Christmas.. ish.. We have started to plan and discuss writing our own story based on The Paperbag Prince. The children have been thinking about using adverbials to describe when and where something happens. We have studied what it means to be sustainable in science and this will feed into our story as we are setting it in a future where no one recycles. In maths, we have started our unit on multiplication and division. We are learning when to use the multiplication sign and when to use the addition sign.

We have written our first history essay all about the prehistoric period. The children added what they have learnt about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age.

Next week, Monday is the fun run and there is a specialist singing teacher coming to do some singing with the children. It is Odd Sock Day on Friday for anti-bullying week.

Hope you have a great weekend and rest of your week.

Hi Everyone

It has been another very busy week. The children have written about where people live in geography and included what they learnt about North Tawton from their geography fieldwork (they took the photo below). They have been reading our new book The Paperbag Prince and learning all about how to use adverbials to tell a reader where and when something happens.

In maths, we have continued to learn how to add and takeaway using column method. We will practise this a lot this year as it will take some time to get fluent with it. Next week, we will start our unit on multiplication and division. I have been very impressed at how the children are doing with their times tables. Our aim is to learn the 2, 5, 10 3, 4 and 8 times tables by the end of the year.

In science, we have learnt about recycling and why we recycle. The children have had a good look at some objects that we recycle and can begin to give reasons why we do this. We have continued to learn about tag ruby in PE and in PSHE we have started thinking about what respect means.

It was great to get so many completed home learning books today. Please make sure home learning is back in on Thursday and that the reading diaries are coming in every day. Thank you!

Hope you had a fab end to the week.
Thanks for all your support.
Miss Keen and all the year 3 staff.
