What a fun week in Year 3!
This week has been full of exciting events. Year 3 spent time perfecting their food preparation skills as they made coleslaw in DT, before having lots of fun celebrating Number Day for the NSPCC on Friday.
Reminders:

- Tuesday is PE day, so please send your child into school wearing their PE kit.
- Please ensure that your child is wearing the correct school uniform.
- Please read with your child 3 times a week.
- Buddhism workshop - Wednesday 7th.
Kindness cup:
Every week a child from each class will be awarded the kindness cup - a special trophy that sits on their desk for the whole week. A child is either chosen by their teacher or nominated by their peers for displaying kindness that week.
The winners for this week are:
3B – Aaron
3G - Christopher
3R -Alexander
3Y - Henry
English
In English this week, we have been writing in role as Alfie. We considered his thoughts and feelings as the 'tortoise-catcher' came down to get him and worked on conveying point of view in our writing. Next week, we will be writing a non-fiction text about staying healthy.
Maths
We continue to work on multiplication and division in Year 3 - focusing on division strategies next week.
Thematic
In our thematic learning this week we have learnt how to prepare a healthy dish - coleslaw! The children worked well to cut, peel and grate carefully and sensibly.
Next week we will be learning about Buddhism in RE.
Homework
- Please read with your child at least 3 times a week.
- Children have log-in details for Times Table Rock Stars. They should be playing this at least 3 times a week to build their confidence and fluency with times table knowledge.
- Children have been given a ZPD to help them identify the correct books for their reading level. Once your child has read their book, they will need to complete a quiz on it before getting a new one. These quizzes can be done either in school or at home on Accelerated Reader using the log-in codes found in their reading records.
- Spelling shed homework has also been set for the children to complete by next Friday.
We hope that you have a lovely weekend and are looking forward to seeing you all next week!
