Welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely break.
This half term in English we are writing an instructional text and creating an Egyptian Myth.
In Maths we will be learning different mental strategies to subtract and continuing to work on our times tables. Please continue to use TTRockstars at home.
In RE we are learning about identity and belonging. What it means to belong?
Our DT project will be designing and making sandwiches. We will be linking this to Maths and English.
Reminders:
Please read with your child every night and practice spellings and times tables.
Snacks for play time should be fruit or vegetables only. Children need to bring a water bottle to school every day.
Dates:
Tuesday 12th November – Odd Socks Day(wear a pair of odd socks)
Tuesday 19th November – Messy Church (KS2 Hall)
On Tuesday 12th November we are taking part in Odd Socks Day to help raise awareness of Anti-bullying week. This year the theme is ‘Change starts with us!’
Most importantly, Odd Socks Day is designed to be fun! It’s an opportunity to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique!
There is no pressure to wear the latest fashion or for parents to buy expensive costumes. All you have to do to take part is wear odd socks , it couldn’t be simpler! In school the children will have a series of assemblies and discussions in class to explore how a little bit of change can go a long way.
Ask the children today about why it is important not be ‘blinkered’ and the Odd socks song!

The last few weeks we have been thinking about being resilient. Agent Resilient has a shield to defend against challenges and negativity. Agent Resilient uses the power of ‘yet’ . You will hear Agent Resilent saying, ‘I can’t do this… yet!’

We have had a busy few weeks in Year 3. The children enjoyed their trip to the British Museum, they learnt how to be an archaeologist. They were amazed by all the Ancient Egyptian artefacts. They have continued to learn about how the Egyptians used lived in History and are looking forward to showing what they have learnt on Living History Day, Thursday 24th October, 9.15 – 10.15. Children can wear an Egyptian costume on the day.
In English we are learning to write a set of instructions using adverbs and conjunctions.
In Maths were are learning strategies to help us add and subtract mentally. Please practice number bonds to 10, 20 and 100 with your children as this will help them to master the new strategies. Our times table focus is 3 and 4 but continue to work on 2, 5 and 10’s.
Yesterday the children created a Christmas card that they are proud of. They will be bringing these home for you to see. If you would like to purchase any of the gifts please return the completed form with correct money by Monday 21st October.
We are looking forward to seeing you at parents consultations on Monday and Wednesday.
Year 3 team
Living History Day – Thursday 24th October 9.15 – 10.15am
This years Living History Day is only 2 weeks away.
Please join us in celebrating the children’s learning this term from their history topics.
Go back in time and experience life in Ancient Egypt, decide who was to blame for the Great Fire of London and investigate if the Vikings were raiders or traders.
