Summary of this week:

 

Year 3 had a really fun start to the week with their Egyptian workshop! Kenn from Open Box Theatre Company led some really engaging sessions, teaching us about mummification, the pharaohs, pyramids and Egyptian ways of life. The children took part in a variety of drama activities, using freeze frames and acting to experience what Ancient Egyptian life was like. We also learnt about Egyptian Hieroglyphics and wrote how to write our names using the correct symbols. Finally, we made mini zine books, showing all of our learning about Egyptian art, patterns and some fun facts too.

 

Our learning next week:

Maths:  We will be learning how to add and subtract fractions from 1 whole. We will also be starting our new unit, learning about angles and turns.

English: We will be starting our new historical narrative – “The Egyptian Cinderella”, unpicking the characteristics of the familiar characters from the traditional tale.

In our Reading lessons, we will be exploring the chapter book “The Midnight Fox”, using our inference and retrieval skills to explore the book with further depth and discussion.

Foundation:  

In History, we will be learning about Egyptian mummification and we will be conducting an experiment with a tomato to learn about preserving bodies!

In Science, we will be learning about seeds and reproductive parts in plants.

In RE, we will be learning about Sikh beliefs and duties.

In Art, we will be learning how to join 2D shapes to make 3D structures.

Homework

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.
