Spelling: Vowel Suffix ‘ly’

In Year Three we learn our spellings every day in lessons ready to be tested on that Friday. We will then send home a sheet of spellings from the test with the words that they spelt wrong highlight in pink for them to keep practising.  The sheet is in the home learning book.

However, If they scored 15/15 on the recent spelling test, they can use the dictionary to find trickier words ending in ‘ly’ for their home  spellings this week such as struggling.

Times Tables:  We have a times tables test every Monday in Year Three. If there is a times table the children need to practice, we will send them home with a sheet to support them and practice for the next test.

Remember to look at your homework pyramid for more ideas on your topic light and dark.

Literacy: Try writing an explanation text for how something works.  It would be something you make up yourself i.e. ‘How does a Room Tidier 3000 work?’ or maybe a machine which can help you learn your times tables?

On Tuesday 20th October, the children in year 3 will be walking to Waterlooville library to present their explanation texts about ‘How a dinosaur really works’. The children have been creating their own dinosaurs and deciding how they might work internally.

Have a lovely weekend.

On Friday, it is our Celtic day.  The children should come to school dressed in old clothes that can they can get dirty in preferably dark clothes.  We will be outside for the best part of the morning.  Please do not worry about elaborate costumes but if the children have prepared a costume, we look forward to seeing it on Friday.  Last year, some children wore picnic blankets as tunics and put a little bit of face paint on their faces.

On the day we will be doing some cave painting, weaving, pottery and much more.  We hope the children enjoy their day re-enacting life as a Celt!

Hello!

The children all enjoyed our fantastic trip to Butser Hill last week where we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. They were able to have a hands on experience of what life would have been like in the stone age and learnt lots more about our topic.

Some of the activities the children took part in were:

• Making bracelets and necklaces from wool
• Moulding clay pots
• Helped to build a stone age fence
• Ground chalk with mallets
• Looked around round houses
• Visited the pigs and Goats

Photos of the day will be added to the blog this week.

The children learnt lots more about the stone age period and are eager to learn more! We have attached the Stone Age home learning pyramid below for the children to start completing some of the tasks for this half term. The children have also stuck these in their home learning books to give them some ideas.

Home learning – Iron Age

Abacus and Bugclub have been updated and ready for the children to do their weekly learning.

Thank you,

Year 3 Team

Welcome back…

We are very much looking forward to welcoming the children back to school tomorrow. We hope everyone feels rested and ready for the new term ahead. Our welcome meeting will be held in the Year Three classroom on Thursday. We hope to see you there from 3:30 onwards.

Team Year Three.

Are you stuck for ideas for home learning this week?

Literacy: I’m Literacy, we have been creating a website for a new Roman archaeological site using powerpoint. Could you create an information leaflet for your own site. Maybe you might want to create a museum? Or a theme park? There will be an invite for parents to come and see the ‘websites’ that children are creating using powerpoint.

Maths: We have been practising our division skills this week linked with the Wimbledon tournament which has now begun.  For example: If I had 324 tennis balls to be boxed into packets containing three tennis ball, how many packets will I need to fit all of the tennis balls?

Home learning: Bug club and Abacus Maths

What else could I do? How about researching more information about Wimbledon? Or finding out about Ramadan? Could you write a recount about what you are did on INSET day?

Keep safe in the sun – Slip, Slop, Slap (hats, suncream and plenty of water)

On Thursday 11th June 2015, Year Three spent the day at Butser Ancient Farm to learn about life in Britain before the Romans arrived and also discover how it changed once they settled.

The children took part in 4 activities: wattling, clunching, spinning, and a tour of the Roman villa.  We even had time to visit the gift shop. The children took part in all of the activities very sensibly and didn’t give up with the trickier activities.  For more information on these activities, please click the link below:

The children were impeccably behaved and it was a pleasure to take them on this school trip. Well Done Year 3!

Photos to be uploaded soon.

Year Three raised £214.13 as part of the restaurant project.  Thank you to everyone who contributed money towards the restaurant.

We therefore have some money to send to a charity of our choice.  As we were learning about the Rainforest last term, we have decided that we would like to sponsor an animal from the Rainforest.  Click on the link below to research which animal you would like to sponsor!
