Year 3 have enjoyed delving into their new Science unit, exploring different rocks, looking at their textures, colours, shapes and sizes. We used magnifying glasses to look at their details and then we tried to sketch them too.

In Geography, we have been learning about different physical features in Antarctica like ice shelves, icebergs and glaciers. In Art, we really enjoyed learning sketching techniques to create tone and shade.

 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, at least 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 be awarding 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! 😊

Spellings

Please continue to practise the weekly spelling words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful.

We are looking forward to welcoming Alex’s Grandad (Tigers class) on Wednesday, who is going to be leading some sessions about his expedition to Antarctica. The children will have the chance to look at some images and ask questions!

Thank you as always for your support,
Miss Bullock, Mr Harber, Mrs Secker and Mrs Milner.
