Y3 Notices

Welcome to week 8 of Year 3!

In PSHE this week, we have thought about how to solve conflict. We discussed and gathered different strategies and shared them in our class PSHE book.

In Maths this week, we are learning to add and subtract three digit numbers first without crossing the 10 or 100 boundaries  and then moving to crossing them as the questions become more challenging. We will develop this to more complex problems depending on each student’s ability. 

In Art we created some work using Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Some of the words were a little tricky! 

In English, we are writing our own story inspired by The Bear and the Piano. We are using our plans from last week to help us write, making sure that we are paying close attention to our descriptive word choices and that our punctuation is accurate. 

In Humanities, we are learning about what daily life was like for the Ancient Egyptians. We are being curious learners as we ask and answer questions. 

In Science this week, we are assessing our learning so far. What have we learnt? What do we remember? What do we want to know more about? How can we learn more…? 

Homework will be set on Sunday and will be due on the following Sunday. It will be shared through Google Classroom. Please use this to check homework schedules. You can leave a note for the teacher with feedback too. In the Google Classroom, you will also find additional optional resources that can support your child’s learning. 

Please note that if your child is finding the homework challenging, they should try to do what they can. The teacher will not be upset. The work that we set is similar to the work completed in class and should be accessible. If the work is easy and quick to complete, we do have additional activities that students can complete; these will not always be marked but they are available for your use.

Reading is expected to be completed daily and all students have the opportunity to change their books regularly. Please note that we will continue to assess the children over the coming weeks which means that your child’s reading band may change. Your feedback in their PO is helpful; especially if they are finding a book challenging or too easy.

Spellings will now be given every Thursday in the POs enabling students to practise the words before the lesson on Sunday. The rule/pattern will be taught in the Sunday lesson as usual. The students will be tested on their spellings on the following Thursday. 

What to wear:  

PE Days: Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on PE days and swimming days, and regular school uniform on non PE days - their timetable has been stuck in their Personal Organiser and can also be found on the Google classroom. 

Swimming: On Tuesday we have swimming, please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit, and brings their swim kit in a separate waterproof bag. Please make sure all swimming items are clearly labelled with your child's name.

Water Bottles and hats: Please label everything. Some children have the same water bottles and hats as others and they often get lost.

Medical and dietary needs: Please check that the school has up to date information on any medical or dietary requirements. We will be cooking in some of our lessons and we want to make sure that we accommodate everyone's needs. 

Email: We welcome communication from parents. If you would like to contact your child’s class teacher about any matter, then you can do so by writing a note in the PO, or for more complex queries please send an email to the school office, and this will be passed onto the correct member of staff. Please note, all emails should be sent via the primary office and not directly to teachers; this ensures that your query can be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Welcome to week 7 of Year 3!

In PSHE this week, we thought about friendships and what a good friend is. We also thought about the qualities of a good friend.

In Maths this week, we are learning to add numbers crossing the 10 or 100. This means that you may have to partition a number and use your knowledge of number bonds to 10 to help you. 

In Art we created our portraits of ourselves as pharaohs using papyrus style paper, oil plates and some additional touches. The effects look really great!
