Below is our most recent blog. This includes a summary of the last two weeks including any important information for the coming weeks (reminders etc).
It has been a fantastic start to the new term in Year 3! The children have returned with enthusiasm and a positive attitude towards their learning, which has been wonderful to see.
In English, the class have been fully engaged in guided writing sessions, where they are exploring a range of grammatical structures to help build tension in their disaster stories. They have shown great creativity and are beginning to use more varied sentence types to make their writing exciting and impactful.
In Maths, we are focusing on developing reasoning skills, particularly when applying these to column subtraction with 3-digit numbers. The children are working hard to explain their thinking and solve problems with increasing confidence.
Our new Science topic on Plants has also begun. The class have started investigating the functions of roots, exploring how they help with nutrition and support. Over the coming weeks, the children will be working scientifically by observing the different stages of plant life cycles.
In PE, excitement is building as we begin preparations for next half term’s sports day. This week, the children practised javelin and chest push techniques. Indoor sessions continue to develop choreography and rhythm for the upcoming Country Dancing Festival!
