Year 3
Weekly Update - Friday 4th April 2025
Summary of this week:
|
WOW Year 3 – what a week! You all made your teachers and parents/carers VERY proud with your fantastic productions of the Lion King. All children demonstrated talent, team work, creativity and bravery and there was not a dry eye in the house by our final performance on Wednesday evening! As well as getting stuck into the production, the children have also been publishing and performing their letters in English, while also learning about earthquakes in their Geography lessons. Well done for another brilliant half term Year 3. Rest up over Easter, enjoy what the Easter bunny might bring and we will see you in a few weeks time! |
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will be continuing our unit on Time, exploring AM, PM and the 24 hour clock.
English: We will be starting our new unit, looking at a poem from “It’s Behind You”, about a monster called The Deadly Mudditch! We will then look at a non chronological report which will give us more information about the monster.
In our Reading lessons, we will be exploring a variety of non fiction texts, teaching us about Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun.
Foundation:
In History, we will be learning starting our Egyptians unit, learning about the discovery of Tutankhamun and what he was famous for.
In RE, we will be starting our Sikhism unit, learning about Guru Nanak and why he was significant for Sikhs.
In Computing, we will be learning about databases and why these are used to help people store data.
In Art, we will be learning about the patterns and characteristics of Egyptian art!
In PE, we will be learning athletics with Mrs Line and cricket with Coach Jay. We will also be starting our swimming lessons with our Dip ‘n’ Dive coaches.
Homework
No homework set for over the Easter holidays. Enjoy your time together with families and friends 😊
Maths
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.
