Year 3 have really impressed us with their confidence and wonderful speaking skills during our Harvest assembly on Tuesday — a huge well done to them!

Maths
In Maths, we started learning about factors and products. Towards the end of the week, we learnt different ways to multiply by 10. Next week, we will be learning to tell the time; we will recap o’clock and half past, and then move on to quarter to and quarter past.

English
In English, we have started our new book, Lila and the Secret of Rain. We have explored the different emotions that she experiences throughout the story. We have also learnt how to use a thesaurus to improve our vocabulary choices. Next week, we will be writing our own narratives; we will focus on using verbs and adverbs, and using paragraphs throughout our narrative.

RE
In RE, we will be learning why our world is amazing and creating our own creation story wheel. We will identify things that make our world special and explore the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic creation stories.

Home Learning
This week, we would like you to write some instructions for how to multiply by 10. Think about the maths vocabulary we have used this week.
Some spellings to practise – parents’, even, everybody, and Christmas.

 

Term 1 Dates for the Diary

17th October – Final day of term

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!
