What have Y3 been up to?
Week 2: 12.09.2025
This week the children have been continuing their work on place value and applying their knowledge to adding 1, 10 and 100 more to a 3-digit number. During Writing, we have looked at expanded noun phrases, adverbs and using correct punctuation for informal writing.
It was a trip back to the Stone Age during History as we looked at how hunter gatherers used their skills to forage for food and survive with their tribe. Sticking with the Stone Age theme, art was based upon cave paintings.
It has been wonderful to see how many of the children are utilising TT-Rockstars and we politely remind parents and carers to keep this a priority throughout Year 3.
Finally, wonderful news as 3 S/T won an extra breaktime for showing excellent behaviour throughout the week!
Have a wonderful, restful weekend.
Miss Jones, Mr. Jones and the rest of the Year 3 team.
Week 1: 05.09.2025
What an incredible start to the new academic year we have had this week! The children have shown wonderful resilience in their new educational surroundings as well demonstrating amazing behaviour. If this is how the students mean to continue in Year 3 then this is going be a sensational year!
During Maths, we have been learning about partitioning into tens and ones using part-whole models and representing this in different ways. We have also started morning maths to improve fluency which has shown to be exceptionally effective so far.
During Reading and Writing, we have looked at "The Day The Crayons Came Home" which has informed our writing, especially when looking at adjectives, the features of informal letters and author inference.
We even managed to learn about the stone age which links into our topic for this half term. How exciting! Finally, can all students please ensure they bring their spelling books and reading records back into school every day so they can be checked.
The whole Year 3 team can't wait to see everyone bright and early on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend,
Miss Jones, Mr. Jones and the rest of the Year 3 team.
