Blog Update 9th December 2022

The weather has changed as we head into the last week of Term 1 of Year 3! What a busy term we have had! The children have settled into the routines of KS2 and are becoming independent thinkers, creative designers, and thoughtful speakers!  
In English we have begun learning about advertising and how persuasive language can be used to convince people to buy something or to make a choice. We have used hyperbole and rhetorical questions to make the reader think and have thought carefully about our target audience.  
We are now learning about multiplication and division in maths and so it would be great if the children could continue learning their 3, 4 and 8 times tables at home too! 
This link takes you to a site full of fun games that link to all things maths, this page is specifically for multiplication: Times Tables Games (topmarks.co.uk) 
Next week we will enjoy some festive fun with performances of the KS1 nativity and the visit to church. We will continue with adverts and persuasive writing, thinking about how we can share just the right amount of information to interest a reader. We will also be creating our own information leaflet about life in villages, towns, and cities to showcase our leaning from across the unit.  
Have a great weekend!
