Year 3

Weekly Update

Friday 23rd September

Dear Parents and Carer

Year 3 have had another busy week, continuing their learning about the local community and the history of Bookham. We looked specifically at the set up of Bookham Common and how this has changed over the years! Next week, we will be learning about Mary Christie.

In Maths this week, we have been exploring the commutative law of addition, beginning with adding ones, tens and then hundreds to 3-digit numbers without renaming (previously known as exchanging). The children have enjoyed using dienes to represent their findings and have been very creative when drawing their own methods!

In English, we have continued our learning using "Splat" as our inspirational text. We have learnt about co-ordinating conjunctions (because, but, so, or, if, when) and have practised these verbally within sentences, as well as written examples. We have also explored the structure of a narrative (beginning, middle and end) and next week we look forward to writing our own versions of the story "Splat"!

We are pleased that all children have been really positive taking home their Maths homework this week, as well as their new reading books and reading records. We encourage parents to engage with these home learning tasks as much as possible to support the children and allow them to have some fun with the tasks. From next week, we will be sending out 8 spelling words each week for the children to practise and learn as much as possible.

Thank you for your help with this!

Miss Bullock, Mrs Martyn, Mrs Harding and Mrs Porter
