Year 3

This week we have been learning...

Numeracy

We have been using column method to add and subtract amounts of money. We set up our own shops to learn how to calculate change.

Help at home by setting up your own shops and playing 'shop keeper'!

Literacy

This week we have been exploring writing our own poems in the style of Brenda Williams. The children have really enjoyed learning this poem and exploring our local area with their senses. 

Help at home by thinking of different ways to describe what you are sensing.

Wider Curriculum

We have planned and built our own magnetic fair ground rides! Look at the class pages to explore the rides we have created.

Help at home by watching some of the video links on the Year Three webpage!

Don’t forget to keep up with your termly topic homework!

Home Learning

Each term I will post year three's home learning challenge on this page for you to refer to.  Home learning is set on a Friday and is due in the following Friday. This includes a spelling sheet and multiplication homework. Topic homework is set at the beginning of term and is due in in the last week of term

We hope you enjoy engaging in your child's learning whilst completing these tasks!
