Week ending 11th October 2024
Hello Year Three,
This week we have been learning to add with ones, tens and hundreds. We have been focussing on adding ones across ten. The children are continuing to learn their times tables, but they must learn them at home as well as at school. They have TT Rockstars to work from but also need to find a way of learning them so that they have rapid recall. I have offered a few suggestions, like putting them in random order on the stairs so that each time they step they shout the answer.
We have learned many fables and the children have thoroughly enjoyed this English project. They are beginning to come up with their own morals for fables, which is great because next week they will be writing their own.
For science we continued to look at food labels and the children are beginning to look for levels of sugar, saturated fat and salt. They know how to look for the nutritional value in the food they eat.
In our geography lesson we reflected on whether we would or would not want to live near a volcano. They discovered the positive and negative aspects of living near one and finally made their overall decision.
For RE we looked at the food shared at Hindu celebrations and festivals. The children went on to design a celebratory meal.
Today was special because we had a visitor! Imogen has come to England for a visit and came to spend the morning reconnecting with her friends. It was wonderful to see her and the children were thrilled. They danced and sang, enjoying every moment with their friend.
NEXT WEEK
Maths
Next week we continue adding and subtracting crossing over into tens and hundreds. We will begin column addition. We will have our times tables test on Friday.
English
The children will work on their comprehension skills, punctuation, use of adjectives and handwriting.
They will write their own fable following the features they have learned. Their stories must have an appropriate moral.
Science
As we come towards the end of our project on animals (including humans) we will look at muscles and how they work.
D and T
The children will be designing their pencil cases and hopefully we will start to make them.
RE
As we have been exploring the use of food through religion we will look at the traditional Christmas meal for Christians.
