Week ending 17th January 2025

 Hello Year Three,

This week we have completed the multiplication and division block in our maths programme. The times tables are progressing rapidly! TT Rockstars has helped significantly. 

We have continued our work from The Tear Thief as the children have written a diary entry in the past tense, extracted figurative language from the text and used adjectives and similes to describe tears.

We have been exploring the physical features of Antarctica. The children are enjoying finding out about this area with extreme weather conditions.

The children have been thinking about the nutritional value of food. They will be designing and making sandwiches soon for our D and T project.

For RE we investigated the role of a vicar and compared it to Mr Gradwell's role as Head Teacher. 

Today the children began to design a garden for people who face challenges, such as the visually impaired or children who don't have green space around them. This is part of a project for PHSE.

NEXT WEEk

English

We will be continuing to work from The Tear Thief as we look at metaphors and similes. We will be writing a short poem and a letter to a child who worries about crying.

Maths

We will be moving on to another multiplication block next week. The children are working so hard to learn their times tables and these lessons are also helping. 

Science

As we are studying light, we will be looking at reflective materials and choosing an appropriate material for a school bag.

D and T

We will be tasting a variety of breads and discussing the nutritional value. We will be tasting sandwich fillings and decide which sandwich we would like to design.

Geography

We will be investigating the physical and human features of Antarctica.

PHSE

The children will continue to work in teams on their garden designs.

School Visit

On 11th February we will be going on a school visit to Celtic Harmony. The children will be having a day of art as they will be working with clay.

A parent will be joining us on the trip, which is great, but there are no spaces left. If you are keen to accompany your child on a school trip please ask the class teacher as soon as possible as places are very limited.

I wish you all a happy and restful weekend.
