Welcome to Year 3!

Highlight of the week 13/11/2023: This week Year 3 have enjoyed taking part in a number of fun activities whilst learning to ‘make a noise about bullying’. We learnt about which trusted adults we can speak to and what the words ‘intentional’ and ‘repeated’ mean.

Highlight of the week 06/11/2023: Year 3 enjoyed a game of contraction snap to spot words with an apostrophe in the place of missing letters! Their target this week has been to use words like ‘shouldn’t, can’t, we’re and I’m’ in their writing.

Highlight of the week 30/10/2023: For today’s class assembly, Year 3 learnt about safety around fireworks. We then had a sparkler celebration in preparation for Bonfire Night on Sunday!

Highlight of the week 16/10/2023: Year 3 have written their own wonderful non-chronological reports on the Stone Age. They have recalled so much information from this half-term’s topic and have presented it in an organised, interesting way. Year 3 should all be very proud of themselves for an amazing first half-term of learning!

Highlight of the week 09/10/2023: Year 3 did brilliantly with their assembly on Black History Month this morning. After, as a treat, they enjoyed a game of snakes and ladders linked to our learning about the 100 square in Maths. The children have been spotting patterns with numbers and learning that jumping up and down is the same as ten less/ten more.
          

Highlight of the week 02/10/2023: For National Poetry Day, Y3 did some amazing story writing and then, as a treat, watched some lovely poems by Michael Rosen. The children particularly enjoyed his Stone Age poem!

Highlight of the week 25/09/2023: In Year 3 we are really enjoying our class text, ‘The Stone Age Boy’. The children have made story maps using their recalling and sequencing skills. They will be using these to retell the story next week!

Highlight of the week 18/09/2023: Year 3 have returned to school after the summer holidays very mature and ready to learn! We have had lots of fun already together, including some outdoor Maths learning in the sunshine and our keyboard lessons.

Highlight of the week 11/09/2023: To launch our topic on the Stone Age, we went on a hunt for some stones to create some 'cave artwork'! We thought carefully about the colours that might be used in the Stone Age era and how these could be created using natural resources, such as berries for the colour red. Y3 are so creative!
