Art: over the past 2 weeks we have been creating our very own Stone Age art pictures. This is based on the Lascaux Stone Age art found in French cave. 

History: We looked at why the Stone Age tribes were nomadic, and thought about what a tent in winter might have inside and outside to keep them safe. 

Maths: In Maths we have started adding 3-digit numbers and ones and 3-digit numbers and hundreds. 

English: we have finished our Stone Age stories and have learnt how to check our spellings using a dictionary. 

Homework in Year 3

There are 4 parts to our homework, and they are set on Tuesday and should be completed on Tuesday. We have practised logging in to these sites in class. 

• Mathletics
• Spelling Shed
• TT Rockstars
• Reading

Mathletics

There will be 2 Mathletics tasks set per week . When you put in your Mathletics password, it is written in upper case but enter it in lowercase. 

Spelling Shed

Spelling Shed is linked to what we teach them in class. Children have a minimum of 3 games to complete each week. 

TT Rockstars

TT Rockstars focuses on the timetables that the children are working on in class, at the moment we are working on our 4s. 

Reading 

Try to read with your child for 15 minutes per day. 

We will be having our Sports Day with Year 4 on Tuesday afternoon. Pupils should come in with their normal school uniforms, but go home in their PE kits. Please try to bring house colours. We will do our best to capture the events and post pictures and videos afterwards. 

Eco Fair tomorrow at St Saviours. 

The class have been working hard to create milk carton monsters. These will be on display at the Eco Fair tomorrow from 12:00 to 4:00.

What we have been doing!

We have had scooter day and skateboard day. These days are fun, but they are trying to encourage children to actively travel to school. In English, we have  been looking at the book 'Here We Are', by Oliver Jeffers. From this we decided to write letters to people we have not seen for a while, tell them about Lockdown and share a memory.

This Week:

English, we have finally started our instructions, this has been made trickier by completing them on Google Docs. However the end result will look professional. 

Maths: we have counted in tenths, and identified right angles until our brains hurt. 

We've finally had to say goodbye to our Rubbish Tree, if you want to see it, it is on display at the CO OP. 

A lovely week!

This has been an active week in Year 3, but the children have taken to it with enthusiasm. We were lucky enough to be given a book each for free from Karen who owns the COOP. The book inspired us to create a tree from plastic waste (see results below). 

In Maths, we have investigated the relationship between mm, cm and m. We have measured everything, from our noses to the ends of pencils. We have converted the units and found halves and quarters of them. 

In English we started a new documentary unit, call The Majestic Plastic Bag. It showed a mockumentary of how a plastic bag ends up in the Pacific Ocean from a supermarket. 

In art we had a model pose for us whilst we undertook drawing challenges, where we were not allowed to take our pencil off the paper until we had finished our picture. After, we were only allowed to use straight lines to draw the model. 

Book changes: Wednesday and Friday

PE:

Indoors = Tuesday
