Year 3 have worked so hard this week! We have written 5 part narratives, learnt all about capacity and volume and so much more. Well do Team Year 3. You have been incredible!

Maths
In Maths this week, we learnt all about capacity and volume. We read scales, compared, added and subtracted volume. Next week in Maths, we will begin to learn about angles in shapes.

English
This week in English, we have completed our five-part narratives. Next week, we will be looking at a variety of winter poems and writing our own.

Thematic

This week, we have investigated shadows. We have learnt that a shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks the light source. Next week, we will be doing our RE learning for the term. We will learn all about Christianity.

Home Learning
In preparation for our Christmas celebration at the church, we would like you to practise the Makaton signs for our songs. Please find the links below

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!
