Good afternoon everyone,

Another busy week in Year 3, the children are definitely settling well into the routines of Year 3 and impressing me with their positive attitudes to learning. We’ve been looking more closely at our book, Interview with a Tiger, and have been practising writing questions and answers in readiness for writing our own interviews next week.

In Maths, our place value work has moved into 3 digit numbers, all the way up to 1000! The children were also excited to do our second times tables challenge this morning. In Year 3 Maths Fluency becomes Times Tables Fluency. We have assessed all the children and they should have a fluency card in their reading folder. The children need to keep practising the times table until they know it off by heart. Hopefully, this will help the facts stick in their long-term memory! Another great practise for times tables is TT Rock stars – logins in the reading diaries.

I will set both maths and spelling homework on Edshed for the children. Thanks again to those of you who are reading regularly at home, too.

I know some of the children are taking part in a triathlon this weekend – good luck to them all!

Have a lovely weekend,

Clare
