Good afternoon everyone,

We’ve all made it to the end of our first full week in Year 3 – some of us are quite tired, including me! The children are quickly getting used to the expectations for Year 3, working very hard for me and trying together to ensure we have a calm learning environment.

In English we have been reading Interview with a Tiger by Andy Seed, which the children are enjoying – it’s a really funny book. We have had a go at writing interview questions in the same style as the book.

In Maths our focus is on place value and we are already working with numbers up to 1000! Our confidence is growing. I have set Maths homework on EDshed – logins are in your reading diaries – that relates directly to our work this week in class.

In History we are learning about the Stone Age. We learnt the definition of prehistory, thinking about where the Stone Age comes on a time line. Our guided reading story – Stone Age Boy – links to this topic and we are also looking at cave paintings in our art lessons.

I can already see that lots of reading has been taking place at home. Thank you for your support. Book change will usually be on a Thursday, but books should be in school every day. I have changed books today for all the children who had finished their book at home.

Have a lovely weekend,

Clare
