Weekly Update – Summer 1, Week 1

 

A big welcome back to everyone for this shortened week which, despite being 4 days long, has still had lots of learning for the children. This week saw Mr Hodgson join the Year 3 team and what an impression the children have made. The Easter disco saw the children showcase their best dance moves and spend time with their friends following the half-term break. 

 

The year 3 residential is closely approaching. Please check the dojo app regularly and check your emails for key information.

 

Here’s what Year 3 have been learning about this week:

 

Maths:

This week, we have been focusing on reading scales and converting kilograms into grams. 

English:

In English, we have learnt all about shape poems and are in the process of creating our own based on different weather types. 

Reading:

During guided reading, we looked at a range of different question styles, including inference, retrieval and vocabulary. 

Science:

We completed our unit on animals, including humans, and consolidated all our learning. 

PE:

In athletics, the children worked on using specific skills and also started their new topics. 

Geography:

In our last geography lesson, we completed our end-of-unit assessment and looked at UNESCO and what they do. 

PSHE:

Our Jigsaw lesson this week focused on families and the roles of the people we live with. 

Spanish:

Spanish is back on the weekly timetable and the children will be learning all about fruits and vegetables. 

Art:

A firm favourite of the children is Art and this half-term we are looking at the artist John Dyer and replicating his work using oil pastels. 

We hope you have a lovely Easter break – don’t eat too much chocolate, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday 22nd.
