On our first week back at school, our first week in Year 3, in English, we have worked through a five-session unit based on the book The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson. Our learning focused on themes of identity, belonging, friendship, and sharing memories, with explicit grammar skills integrated and applied each day.
We have thought about items from home that are special to us and our favourite food. We write about them in full sentences ensuring we used capital letters at the beginning our sentence and full stops at the end.
Can you tell someone at home about the item from home that is special to you and why?

Boom Reader
Soon we will start sending home readers home to read. Untill then, you can read books of your choosing. There are so many fantastic books available- have a look at the list below and see if any inspire you. Once you have finished reading a book, log on to Google Classroom and complete a Bookflix review!
Each week we will give out spellings for you to learn and practice at home. This week all of our spellings contain the ‘ou’ digraph when it makes the /u/ sound:
touch
double
country
trouble
young
cousin
enough
couple
encourage
flourish
To help you practise these, make sure you log on to Spelling Shed where you can play games and earn points. Remember, the children with the highest number of points at the end of each week will receive a prize, so get practising!

Home Learning Project
Our home learning project this half term will link to our History unit on The Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age. We would like you to choose an area of Stone Age life to research and create your project on.
Ideas of areas to choose are: food, farming, hunting & gathering, animals, weapons, tools, culture, language, art, clothing or settlements.
Your project could be a model, a Powerpoint, a poster or even a song or a video presentation - it is completely up to you. Projects can come into school, however there will also be an area for these to be uploaded on Google Classroom. We will begin looking at projects from the week beginning Monday 5th October. Good luck!
