Year 3 News

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.

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.

Hope to see you all there.

Hello Yellow Day

October 10th is World Mental Health Day. To support children and young people’s mental health on World Mental Health Day, we are holding a Hello Yellow Day in school. To start the day we are promoting  excercise through a ‘fencing’ demonstration. Throughout the day classes will be learning more about the Wellbeing Agents and creating their very own positive message bookmark.  You can support your children by asking them to tell you all about something they enjoyed today.

British Museum Trip

Just a reminder that the year 3 British Museum Trip is tomorrow (Thursday 10th October 2019).

Children will need to bring a packed lunch in a named carrier bag. No fizzy drinks or chocolate.

Children need wear full school uniform and a coat.

We need to leave promptly at 9 am in order to arrive for our workshop, so we will be opening to doors at 8.50 am. This will allow time for children to use the toilet and register before getting on the coach.

We are looking forward to a fun packed day learning about Ancient Egypt.

Thanks Year 3 Team
