A fun week in year 3, the children continue to work hard.
A super week in year 3, with lots of enthusiasm and energy in our learning.
In English, we started our new text (film) driver ‘Ruckus’, we have enjoyed unpicking the meaning, making predictions and sharing likes, dislikes and patterns we noticed. The children have been very excited about finding out more.
In Guided Reading, we have continued to explore the text; ‘The Iron Man’, we have been building fluency in our reading, practising in partners and reading aloud in class. We have stressed the importance of reading at home to grow in confidence.
This week, Year 3 had a brilliant time creating fabulous crowns and learning about the King’s Coronation. The children had some great creative and unique ideas. Today we enjoyed a special worship, presented by year 1. We also enjoyed cake and sang some royal songs! The children had a fun time marking the occasion.
Year 3 had a wonderful time at Butser Ancient Farm this week. They spent time exploring the Iron Age village and took part in some exciting activities to bring their learning to life including; spinning wool, creating a clay pot, chalk carving and creating their own jewellery. The staff at Butser Farm were so impressed with the children’s behaviour and knowledge on the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age.
The children have created fantastic diary entries of their day, demonstrating their knowledge about the Iron Age.
Trip to Butser Farm tomorrow

It has been lovely to see all the children back this week. It has been a busy but fun week, starting our new units of work.
In English this week we started reading ‘Charlotte’s Web’, practising our fluency, inference skills and marking the text. The children have loved using expression for the different characters and loved discussing the personalities of different characters.
Homework; listen to or read chapter 4 in readiness for next Monday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgsD-xdJdoM

In Maths, we have focused on telling the time. Many children have found this challenging therefore to support their learning I have set additional homework on EdShed. The best way to learn time, is physically telling the time on a daily basis. The children need to know how to tell and solve problems using an analogue and digital clock.
In jigsaw we have started our ‘Relationship’ unit, we have been talking about males, females and stereotypes. We have been looking at different roles within the home and different occupations.
Welcome back from your Easter holidays! It has been so nice to see and hear all about the children’s news. We hope you had a wonderful break with your families.
Our final swimming was today, the children have done incredibly well showing great perseverance and resilience. I’d like to personally thank the parents who have volunteered their time to help. We could not have done it without you, we really appreciate your support. Thank you.
A great week in year 3, children continue to work hard and try their best!
Another super week in year 3, the children are working so hard!
We are really proud that the children are becoming independent and resilient learners.
