What a wonderful week we have had in Year 3! The children have worked incredibly hard this week and they should be very proud of all the learning they have done! A massive thank you to all the parents who volunteered to be mystery readers for World Book Day! We loved welcoming you into the classrooms and looking at the wide range of books you brought in. Your participation made the day extra special and the children LOVED listening to the stories!
In English, we have been dabbling with ideas for our nature poems. We started with a bang with onomatopoeia before moving onto amazing, awe-inspiring alliteration. We rounded off our English lessons this week by bringing our writing to life through personification.
In Maths, we explored related calculations- if I know that 2 x 3 = 6, I also know that 2 x 30 = 60. The children were able to draw on their knowledge of previously learnt times tables and really enjoyed challenging themselves! Here are some practice sheets to explore at home: Maths
In STEM, we have continued our unit on Skeletons and Nutrition, exploring the differences between vertebrate and invertebrate skeletons.
In Project, we explored extreme weather events around the world, we used our knowledge of the map of the world to help us place symbols in the correct location.
As always, if you would like to challenge yourself in Spanish, here are some quick games related to our unit of age and numbers!
