This week in Year 3

It’s been a wonderful and busy time in Year 3! The children have been working hard across all subjects, showing curiosity, creativity, and teamwork in their learning. 

Writing

In English, the children have been producing non-chronological reports about Tutankhamun. They have enjoyed researching fascinating facts about the famous Egyptian pharaoh and using their findings to write clear and informative reports. The class focused on using headings, subheadings, and technical vocabulary to make their writing both engaging and factual.

Science

In Science, we explored shadows and discovered how they are formed when light is blocked by an object. The children carried out investigations to see how the position of the light source changes the size and shape of a shadow. They enjoyed making predictions, testing their ideas, and discussing their observations.

Religious Education (R.E.)

In R.E., we have been discussing what it means to be part of a community. The children reflected on different communities they belong to, such as their families, school, and local area. We talked about how people can feel a sense of belonging when they share ideas, values, and traditions with others.

Curriculum event.

It was also lovely to have parents and carers join us in class on Thursday to explore some of our learning together. The children were so proud to share their work and show what they’ve been achieving this term.

We are very proud of the children’s enthusiasm and effort across all areas of learning. Have a lovely half term break.

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.
