It is feeling very festive in Year 3, we have been writing our own winter poems and solving some winter maths problems.

Maths
In Maths this week, we have been learning about right angles, acute and obtuse angles. We are now able to find different angles in shapes as well as draw out own shapes.

English
This week in English, we have looked at a variety of winter poems and identified their features. We have written our own winter poems, we have used rhyming couplets, similes, personification and onomatopoeia.

Thematic

We had a great time on our trip to Royal Harbour School, we learnt lots about how we can reflect and split light. This week in RE, we have been thinking what Jesus was like, we now understand that pictures of Jesus are often all different and this is because there is no written description of him in the Bible.

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!
