Summary of this week:

Year 3 enjoyed meeting their new Year 4 teachers on Move Up Morning this week! We made Penguin and Seal art, ready to decorate our classrooms in September.

We took our Maths learning outside to practise drawing 2D shapes with a range of perimeter specifications, and in English, we have been learning and unpicking the story of Robin Hood. In Art, we enjoyed making our 3D miniature playgrounds with various materials, and in Science, we set up an experiment with toy cars and marbles to test friction on different surfaces.

Our learning next week:

Maths:  We will be starting our new unit on statistics, looking at a range of data and graph types (pictograms and bar charts).

English: We will be planning and writing our own formal letters to Robin Hood, persuading him to let us join his Merry Men!

In our Reading lessons, we will be exploring a lovely fiction text called “Anna Hibiscus”.

Foundation:  

In Geography, we will be looking at where New Delhi is on a map and exploring a little bit about the culture and the country of India.

In PSHE, we will be learning about water safety and how to protect ourselves if we get caught in a strong wave or current!

In RE, we will be exploring what “Mitzvah” is and how Jewish people celebrate this.

In Science, we will be starting our new unit on magnets, exploring what they attract to.

In Art, we will be evaluating our own miniature playgrounds, thinking about what went well and what we would improve if we were to make them again.

In PE, we will be doing orienteering with Mrs Line and Tri Golf with Coach Jay.

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.
