This week in Year 3

This week in Year 3, 

We had a wonderful World Book Day on Thursday! It was a joy to see so many amazing costumes and to hear about all the fantastic books that were shared throughout the day. The children loved celebrating their favourite stories and characters, and it was lovely to see such enthusiasm for reading.

In Computing, we have been continuing to use the programming tool Scratch. The children have been learning how to make an object play a sound using code. Some of us even explored further by changing the pitch of the sound to make it higher or lower!

In Maths, we are moving on to multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers. We started by using counters to build and represent the numbers so we could clearly see their value. After that, we began using a column method to help us show the position of each digit and solve the calculations.

We also had a wonderful Science lesson learning about the different parts of a plant. We explored the roles of the stem, flower, roots and leaves, and discussed the important jobs each part does to help the plant grow and stay healthy.

Reminder

We also have parents evening next Monday (9th March). Please arrive via the shared area.

Home learning:

• We ask that children complete their weekly MyMaths task online.

• TT Rockstars should be practised for around 10 minutes a day to help build fluency in times tables.
