A busy week!
In Year 3 this week, we have had assessment week. The children have completed these in the first half of each morning. Miss Cook, Mrs Roberts and all the Year 3 team are incredibly proud of each pupil for completing these. Each pupil put 100% effort into them, illustrating their knowledge and understanding. Some will have been quite tricky as it is still the Autumn Term and we have plenty of teaching weeks left. Despite that, the children still tried their best.
After the assessments, the children have been busy designing their Christmas cards (yes, in November!). They have worked incredibly hard on these, thinking about the details in their designs and which watercolours to use. They look brilliant!
Science has been very exciting as Year 3 have been learning all about fossils. The children ordered the fossilisation process from death to exposure and saw an ammonite fossil in a stone. This followed on from our rock types (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic) which helped the children understand why fossils are found in sedimentary rocks only.
Our history and English this week have continued with the Stone Age. The children have been immersed in what life was like back then. The children had a lesson to explore all things Stone Age, including reading books, researching different jobs, creating their own cave art with charcoal and using drama around a campfire to act out what life would have been like.
Next week
We are incredibly lucky to be have Stone Age Day on Wednesday 19th November. A team from Lunt are coming in to teach the children further about life in the Stone Age. It is a great opportunity for the children to experience, first-hand, the different jobs, materials used, clothes and more!
Home Learning
This week, maths homework has been set on Doodle, named ‘Add 3-digit numbers with exchanging‘. For the last couple weeks, this has been a huge focus in our maths lessons. This is a method which the children will use throughout their education and future so it is important that it is revisited and consolidated.
The Autumn 2 Home Learning Grid has also been uploaded, with 4 tasks to complete this half term. Your child receives stamps for completing their homework. Please email [email protected] for us to see your child’s home learning.
The next 10 Year 3 spellings have been attached too using the ‘look, say, cover, write, check’ grid. This is a really effective way to learn new spellings and will help your child start to learn them.
Have a lovely weekend everybody. Hopefully the rain holds out!
The Year 3 Team
