Learning in Year three

We’ve had a busy few weeks in school!

So far this term, we have been writing about the disgusting Romans and all their disgusting toileting habits! Yes that’s right – the children will be full of disgusting facts about how the Romans would share a sponge on a stick to clean themselves, while risking death from the build up of methane gas as they used the toilet ….together. They have all really engaged with this unit and the writing has been very impressive!!! We can’t wait to see the final outcomes.

In Maths we have been focusing on the multiplication and division facts for the 3 and 4 times tables. Keep logging into times tables rockstars to practise! practise! practise!  This week we will be moving onto using these facts for finding a fraction of an amount. For example 3/4 of £20. Keep practising the addition and subtraction strategies to really embed these with the children. 1 of each a day would make a huge difference!!

DT WEEK this week. The children are half way through their DT project for this term – shell structures. They have been learning about nets and how cardboard is used to keep products safe in transition. Watch this space for those coming home shortly.

The children have continued to enjoy their PE lessons. We are using all of the equipment including the ropes, springboard and wall bars to develop strength, balance and ways to travel safely.

Well done on all of the lovely costumes on World Book Day. The children all really enjoyed there text called The Invisible Boy. They created Art work and Music that complimented the themes of the story.

We have diversity week approaching soon!

Enjoy the sunshine coming our way this weekend.
