The Spring Term has got off to a flying start in Year 3, and we have really enjoyed making a good start on all of our new topics for the half term ahead.
In reading lessons, we are enjoying exploring ‘The Abominables’ and are growing to love all of the yeti characters. We are very invested in their adventures! In writing lessons, we have been writing scripts for persuasive radio adverts to convince customers to hire another book character that we loved reading about: The Iron Man. Keep an eye on our class page on the school website as it will soon include QR codes to listen to all the fabulous adverts that we have created.
We have been building on our understanding of column methods in maths lessons, and can now confidently tackle additions and subtractions including 3-digit numbers, which is a step up from last term. We will soon have this mastered!
Our new topic for Geography work is Antarctica, and it is fascinating learning about a part of the world with such a different climate. The exciting highlight of our afternoon lessons was the start of swimming lessons last week and the school and swimming pool staff were all so impressed with year 3’s behaviour. We have also been lucky enough to have been offered a special dance workshop as part of the PE curriculum which we thoroughly enjoyed!
We have continued to get to grips with the new resource we have in computing lessons, Purple Mash, and have started completing coding activities. We are becoming so confident on the school laptops.
If you follow this QR code, you will be able to see some of us showing our French learning as we finished our last unit on animals. We were using the sentence structure “Je suis” (I am) to say that we were different animals.
