The latest Year 3 Learning Update!

Year 3 have had a very fun-filled start to the Spring term!

In English, we used our talk partners to help us to vocalise our predictions and opinions on Michael Morpurgo’s “Friend or Foe”. We looked at the front cover and discussed what we thought the book would be about, and what genre we thought it might fall under. Then we listened to the first chapter to see if we were correct. We finished the week by imagining that we were World War 2 evacuees, and writing diary entries about our journeys. 

In Maths, we have been continuing our multiplication and division topic. We started by exploring multiples of 10, looking at different patterns in the answers and using this to help us work out the answers to larger sums. On Thursday, we looked at the structure of multiplication and it’s relationship with division. Finally we used the skills we learnt earlier in the week to multiply 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. 

In topic, Year 3 began creating their Spring front covers. We used propaganda images from World War 2 to collage an eye-catching background. Then we sketched gas masks, which will be layered over photos to create a mixed media front cover. The children enjoyed looking at different propaganda posters from World War 2 and discussing what the meaning could be behind each. 

3W resumed their swimming lessons. They were very excited to get back into the pool! They were assessed and put into groups, so they could work closely with an instructor to develop new skills over the 10 weeks. During this time 3G done PE and computing, where they recapped e-safety rules ready to use the computing suite safely next week.

Some notices about this spring term:

  • 4N will be doing a 10 week swimming block this term, starting Wednesday 10th January, with the last session on Wednesday 20th March. We value and require parent helpers for this as always, so please let teachers, leaders or the office know if you’re able to help.
  • We have a trip on February 23rd to the Transport Museum. A letter with all the information will be sent out in due course.
  • We are doing a Spring production next half term! We will give children their parts after half term.

 

In english this week, the children are writing shape poems all about their new topic Paddington Bear! They’ve been reading them and exploring language features to use.

 

In maths, we’re focusing on multiplication and division. The children have been using their known and unknown times tables to find factor pairs for different products.

 

In topic, the children were introduced to their new topic! They’ve created their new topic title page in their books where they had to make a Paddington Bear face and hat using origami skills and then used their drawing skills to draw the rest of his body.
