Year 3 have worked incredibly hard this week! We have enjoyed lots of exciting lessons, especially creating our own sunglasses.

Maths
In Maths this week, we have been learning all about mass. We have weighed a variety of items and compared the weights of different objects using grams and kilograms. Next week in maths, we will be learning all about capacity.

English
This week in English, we have created our own wintery setting, character, planned a five-part narrative as well as showing our story in a comic strip. What a busy week! Next week we will be writing our five-part narrative.

Thematic
We have had a wonderful week of Thematic learning, creating our own sunglasses, testing them and improving them. We found that having dark lenses worked the best and blocked the most UV light. Next week, we will be learning all about shadows and identifying the source of light and the item that is blocking the light.

Home Learning
For Love to Learn this week, we would like you to create your own winter scene that links to your narrative for next week. You can choose how you do this; you might want to draw your scene, create a 3D model, create it on AI or even paint your scene. We can’t wait to see what you create.

We have also sent home white bags to decorate for the Christmas fayre.

TTRS

Ideally, children should aim to play for 5-10 minutes each day, the expectation is that by the end of Year 3 children will know the 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables. TTRS is designed to be a fun way of learning times tables. TTRS is broken down into 8 game types.

Gig – this creates a heatmap to show times tables knowledge up to 12x12

Garage – this is a teacher set times tables game. Please complete this at home.

Jamming – a game to develop times tables confidence

Studio - games the are aimed at motivating (how many can you do in a set time etc) after 10 games this will give a rock status.

Festival and Arena – you can compete against other children from other schools

Rock Slam – you can choose to challenge anyone from within the school (adults and children)

Have a wonderful weekend!
