Week 2 in Year 3!

By year3 on September 15, 2017

Firstly my apologies for no update last week! It seems to have got lost! Possibly because Mr. Chant and I have had some technical issues!

So first of all I’d like to welcome all the children back to school – the first day of term seems like a long time ago but it was lovely to see the children so happy and refreshed. We hope that you all had restful holidays with your families. It was great to share so much holiday home learning!

All children should have a reading book and two library books. Please continue to read regularly with your children as it really does make all the difference with their progress. We have also sent home a home learning pyramid for ideas for activities based on our topic – ‘The Stone Age’. We are hoping to have Abacus updated in the next few days but again please bare with us whilst we sort some technical issues. Bug Club has lots of books available for children to read.

We have been learning how to write instructions in English, alongside daily spelling and handwriting lessons. In maths we are consolidating and extending place value knowledge. As I am sure that you know children are only expected to work with numbers to 100 in Key Stage One but the children have readily accepted their next step in the place value challenge and have begun to work with 3 digit numbers.

In RE we have been learning all about our responsibility to God’s creation. Please visit the RE blog to see regular updates of our learning in RE. Here are some of our creation posters that show how and why we protect God’s creation.
