Dear Parents/Carers,

Please find the Summer 1 KIRFS practise sheet. We will be assessing the children the week after half term so it would be really helpful if you could practise this at home. We recommend using Mathletics as a resource and also BBC Bitesize website.

Thank you,

Year 3 Team

Hit the Button is an interactive maths game with quick fire questions on number bonds, times tables, doubling and halving, multiples, division facts and square numbers. The games, which are against the clock, challenge and develop mental maths skills. An untimed, practise mode is available in our Hit the Button app along with lots more extra features.

The activities can be matched to appropriate mathematical ability. Regular use of Hit the Button can help students to sharpen their recall of vital number facts in a fun way and learning multiplication tables need not be boring.

Hello everyone,

Welcome back for our second part of The Spring Term! We hope you all had a well deserved rest. The children have settled back into school life so well this week. Up until Easter, the children will be focusing on division, fractions and measurement in Maths. Alongside this, the children will still be practising their instant recall and the focus for this half term is to know multiplication and division facts for the 4 times tables. Please find a sheet attached to help, should you wish to do some at home.

Thank you,

Year 3 Team

Dear Families,

We hope you’re all having a good break! We look forward to welcoming your child(ren) back to school on Tuesday 7th January (Monday 6th January is an INSET day).

As we return, may we please ask that children come prepared with the correct stationery in their pencil cases and have a warm coat for playtimes as Winter seems to have finally arrived ☃️!

We also noticed some personal toys creeping in towards the end of term which did cause upset if they got lost/damaged/caused disagreements between friends.

Unless this has been agreed between teachers and parents/carers, can we please ask that toys stay at home.

We can’t wait to see what this new term brings and hopefully we are all feeling rested and fully charged! ☺️

Best wishes and Happy New Year to all of you,

The Year 3 Team!

Wishing all our Year 3 families a very Merry Christmas. We hope this time of year is full of magic and fun for you all. 🎄 🎄 🌟 ⭐ 🎄 🎄

A HUGE thank for your support at home with our Stone Age topic. The projects the children have brought into school have been incredible! The imagination, creativity and hard work has blown us away. We've had; powerpoints, poems, 3d models, lego models, sculptures, model weapons, clay jewellery, clay models, paintings, pictures, puppet shows...the list goes on. Thank you to our amazing Year 3 children and families x

Ash also had a wonderful time creating their hand axes out of soap. We imagined we had transported back to The Stone Age and had to make our own tools. The children were really engaged and thoroughly enjoyed the clean up after too!

We had a lovely time recreating a variety of plant/tree/flower pictures using a variety of media. The children discussed the different pictures and how they could create depth using pencil/crayons/felt pens/paint/oil pastels. We even had a great time tidying afterwards too!

What a great afternoon ASH have had in the ICT Suite learning how to use a keyboard correctly. We explored Dance Mat Typing on the BBC website ensuring we placed our fingers on the correct part of the keyboard. Lots of focus and concentration from all the children. Well done ASH!

The children in ASH class have come home with their first library books. They can keep these for as long as they are reading then. We try our best to go to the library once a week so that the children can change their library book should they wish. We ask that the library books are taken care of so that Miss Enock (Library Administrator) can keep track of all our lovely books. Enjoy reading!

We have had a great day celebrating all things Sweden. The children have explored food, language, geography, art, culture and traditions and even had an ABBA disco! 😊
