This Week's Learning

20/06/22

English

 This week we will be starting to plan our independent writing for our book: The Journal of Iliona. 

 Reading

 We have adapted our Love of Reading sessions to include more comprehension work where we will instruct children in the fine arts of reading comprehension. This week we are looking closely at the vocabulary used in texts and thinking why the author chose that word.  Remember to keep practicing your reading on Reading Plus.

Maths 

This week we will continue to learn how to tell the time. We will be looking at quarter to and quarter past as well as building upon our understanding of the two hands. 

R.E

This week will be continuing our new unit - Who can inspire us? We will focus on what is a leader and what characteristics and qualities do leaders have?

Geography

 This week we will be starting our Geography fieldwork topic which will involve collecting data using tally charts and creating bar charts to display this information. 

PE 

 Invasion games 

PE day will be Mondays. Children must ensure they attend school in their PE kits (plain white top, plain black shorts/joggers and trainers). Please note: studs will have to be removed prior to the PE lesson.

Fact of the week:

 Hot water will turn into ice faster than cold water...

Word of the week:

Lethargic 

definition: particularly tired and slow

Challenge - Use the word in your English writing correctly and you will be given extra similes :)

Topic:

 In Year 3 we cover a range of interesting and exciting topics including The Stone Age, The Romans, Volcanoes, All about Forces and Magnets, Light and Animals including Humans. We take great pride in making sure we make all our lessons fun and exciting for you. If you are lucky you may even get to make your own slime, volcanoes and Roman shields and jewelry.

We have now introduced a reading session called DEAR.

Drop Everything And Read.

This will happen once a week at an unknown time. Everybody in school, including teachers , will stop what they are doing and read. This is to help build up reading stamina and help all the children to focus.

Why don't you practice at home?  It will help to establish reading as an essential part of learning for life!
