Year 3
Weekly Update Friday 22nd March 2024
Summary of this week:
Year 3 have enjoyed the sunshine this week and have celebrated Neurodiversity Week with a range of PSHE lessons and assemblies. In Maths, we started our new unit on “Time” and have been learning about AM and PM. In English, we wrote our own descriptive paragraphs based on the story “The Wonder”. In Geography, we learnt about earthquakes and the destruction they can cause. In D&T, we finished constructing our castles using 3D nets and a range of materials. |
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will be continuing to learn about time, reading analogue clock faces.
English: We will be editing and improving our writing based on “The Wonder”. We will also be writing our own descriptive paragraphs about an erupting volcano.
Foundation: In Art, we will be making some Easter crafts. In RE, we will be learning about the Easter Story and will make cards to show the different Christian symbols that are used around Easter time.
We are also really looking forward to performing our 4 productions of The Greatest Showman to all of our parents and carers! |
Homework:
The Maths homework sheet will be given out on Tuesday – please could children complete this and hand it in by Friday so teachers can mark, provide feedback and hand back by the following week.
Please continue to practise the weekly words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful. We also cover these words during our spelling lessons, so it is great if the children have prior knowledge of what we are covering! Children are also encouraged to continuing using Times Table Rockstars for extra multiplication practise.

Notices & Reminders:
A reminder of the show dates for The Greatest Showman!
Thank you to all parents who have provided children with their black costumes. These will now stay on the children’s pegs until the shows have finished. Children will get changed in the classroom before the performances. On Wednesday 27th March, we will send the children’s costumes home so they can change into them and arrive ready for the evening performance.
Please could all children arrive at 5.15pm on Wednesday (meeting at the Junior hall doors), so they are ready and in position for the 5.30pm start time. Parents who have tickets for the evening performance will be let into the hall around 5.25pm once all children are in places ready. Please avoid sending children’s school bags, as there won’t be space to put these in the hall. Children may bring a water bottle if they wish and these will be stored in the school corridor during the performance. The show is estimated to run for around 1hour 15 minutes, so we ask all parents to please collect children at 6.45pm after the show. Parents in the hall will be asked to leave first and |
