Welcome Back Year 3
Round up of the week
We have had a relaxed start to the week, as there have been many new things for the children to get used to. This has not deterred them and every day they have shown up with enthusiasm and big smiles. We have looked at how we learn and we did this by learning to juggle. It was tricky and we thought about the skills that we need in order to become excellent learners.
We also started our Stone Age Topic, which involved building a fire (small sticks first), trying to start a fire, by rubbing a long smooth stick against a flat log with dry grass at the bottom and going on a scavenger hunt in order to find food.
Art
We have painted self-portraits and some have already been displayed around the school. We also learnt about the primary colours and how to wake up water colours.
English
This week we started our new book, Stone Age Boy. We made predictions about what might happen in the story and read through the book.
Maths
We have begun to look at place value to 100. We have written numbers, verbalised numbers, identified the values of digits and partitioned numbers.
Maths – Website
In case your child is struggling with a particular areas of maths then the websites below offer further practice in that area (the 2nd website also offers links to YouTube tutorials in the domain)
