English

This half term we have been reading 'Seal Surfer' by Michael Foreman.

Based on the text, we have learnt some new vocabulary, written setting descriptions and character descriptions. We have also learnt the features of a letter and the children will be writing their own letter based on the story.

Our Mastery Keys (focused objectives) are:

  • To group ideas into paragraphs
  • To use rich and varied vocabulary.
  • To use prepositions to describe time and place.

Important days

P.E days:

  • 3Y: Tuesday- Outdoor Games, Wednesday - Gymnastics/Dance
  • 3B: Wednesday - Outdoor Games, Tuesday - Gymnastics/Dance
  • Please ensure your child has their PE kit in school at the beginning of the week. They must have shorts/leggings and a white t-shirt for indoor PE and trainers and a warm tracksuit for outdoor PE. No earrings or jewellery are allowed to be worn during PE.

Spellings will be handed out on a Friday and will be tested the following Friday.

 

 

Maths:

Please help your child learn the 3, 4 and 8 times table off by heart and practice counting in 4s, 8s, 50s and 100s, forwards and backwards.

Science

Spellings:

The children will have a weekly spelling test on a Friday. Please ensure your child brings their brown spelling book into school on this day. Your child will practice their spellings in school, but please ensure they practice further at home. Here are some strategies to help learn new spellings.

 

 

Reading:

We change reading books after your child has read their book and taken their Accelerated Reader quiz. Please ensure that you have left a comment in the reading record book, each time your child reads at home. Your child needs to bring in their reading book and reading record everyday so they can read with an adult in school. Please read as much as possible at home with your child.  Ask them questions about their book to check their understanding and discuss any unknown vocabulary.

Here are 50 recommended books for Year 3.
