Alongside all the usual learning this week, we also have our Family Challenge Day on Wednesday 10th February.  The aim of the day is for the whole family to work together on different challenges all based around the theme of journeys.  The first challenge is to try and do this without any phones (only old fashioned ones to make phone calls!), tablets, computers, laptops or televisions! More details will be posted on ClassDojo tomorrow along with the pack you will need for Wednesday.  By completing challenges, you will earn raffle tickets for a special class book draw – the more challenges you complete, the more entries you will earn yourself!

Your teachers will continue to mark and feedback on your learning in your ClassDojo portfolio throughout the week.  For the Family Challenge Day on Wednesday, there is one exception for using your technology and that is for taking photographs!  Please send in photos of your completed challenges or you having fun whilst doing them.  Watch out too for your daily puzzles and story time on ClassDojo

Year 3 Home Learning Term 3 – Week 1

This week the children have looked at traditional rhyming poetry in English. They also wrote similes and metaphors about African animals. By the end of the week the children had written their own African animal rhyming poem – they were all fantastic!

In maths we have been focusing on place value. Throughout the week the children have completed a range of activities ordering and comparing different 3-digit numbers.

For focused reading this term we are reading an African tale called Anna Hibiscus by Atinuke. The children have really enjoyed this so far and even made art work in addition to the work supplied.

All that and much, much more!

What a wonderful week Year 3!

Hello Year 3

We hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year break, albeit more subdued this year.  We had hoped to be welcoming everyone back to the classroom this week, but sadly that is not to be this term according to tonight’s announcement.

Please find below our home learning pack for this week.  We have adapted these from our planned lessons this week and added a few other options whilst we test out whether all we had planned for the term is possible to do at home.

Home Learning Activities PDF w/c 5th January 2021

To keep our learning as practical as we can, this week you’ll need an empty tub, e.g. margarine / ice cream tub, some string (or wool) and some different surfaces for our science experiment!

Mr Houghton and Miss Cox will be in school looking after the year 3 keyworker children whilst Miss Ryan will be looking after our remote learning via ClassDojo and Zoom.

Mr Houghton will still be sending out daily messages to Chestnut and will read a class story each day. He is also looking forward to looking at all the learning you submit via your ClassDojo portfolio. For any learning queries during the day, please contact Miss Ryan.

We hope you all stay safe and well and we look forward to the day when we can all be back together again.

Many Thanks

Mr Houghton, Miss Ryan, Miss Cox and Mrs Gunn

This term in maths we will be continuing our focus on Key Instant Recall Facts.

Year 3’s focus for term 3 is: ‘I know the multiplication and division facts for the 4 times table′.

To complement the children’s learning at school, please could you help them at home as the key to these facts becoming embedded in the children’s memory is to practise little and often.

If you have any questions, please contact your class teacher via ClassDojo.

Many thanks
