Year 3
Weekly Update - Friday 9th May 2025
Summary of this week:
| Year 3 have been curious historians this week, exploring many different Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. Did you know there are over 2000 gods and goddesses that the Egyptians used to worship? In English, we have been learning how to summarise and take notes, and explored whether we think The Loch Ness Monster is real, after unpicking various types of research. In Maths, we have been learning about movement of time, seeing how the hour and minute hands change across different time periods.

Our learning next week:
Maths: We will be starting our unit on Fractions – learning about fractions of objects and fractions of amounts.
English: We will be starting our new fictional narrative called “Ratpunzel”.
In our Reading lessons, we will be exploring some monster poetry from the book “It’s Behind You”.
Foundation:
In History, we will be learning about the River Nile and its benefits.
In Science, we will be evaluating our experiment with seeds to learn about different plant growth rates.
In PSHE, we will be learning about online safety.
In Computing, we will be learning about computer databases.
In RE, we will be learning about the Sikh Community and their traditions.
In Art, we will be painting our designs onto our home-made papyrus paper, in the style of the Ancient Egyptians.
In PE, we will be learning athletics with Mrs Line and cricket with Coach Jay. We will also be swimming with our Dip ‘n’ Dive coaches.
Homework
The Maths homework sheet will be given out on Tuesdays – please could children complete this and hand it in by Friday so teachers can mark, provide feedback and hand back by the following week.
Children are encouraged to use Times Table Rockstars for extra multiplication practise, a few times each week. Little and often is recommended! Logins and passwords are stuck inside the cover of the children’s maths homework books. Teachers will continue to award TTRS certificates on a Friday for those children that are using the website regularly throughout the week and making good progress with their times tables learning! 😊
Spelling
Please continue to practise the weekly spelling words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful.

A reminder please to send in children with swimming caps for the pool.
A reminder that our Egyptian topic homework projects can be sent in the week commencing Monday 19th May. We are looking forward to seeing what the children have been getting up to! (This is optional – no pressure to make a project if you don’t have time!).
Thank you as always for your support,
Miss Bullock, Mr Harber, Mrs Secker, Mrs McKenzie and Mrs Milner.
