Year 3 have made a great start to the year. We are really impressed with their enthusiasm to learn and their hard work. We have been busy writing a 'How to Guide' leaflet for living on Earth based on the text 'Here We Are' by Oliver Jeffers. This guide will focus on how to look after ourselves, being a good person and how to care for the environment. We have enjoyed reading the text 'The Pied Piper' and learning the old English versions language in the text. Did you know that the term 'pied' refers to someone wearing patches or multiple coloured clothing?

n maths we have been focusing on place value, number bonds up to 100 and the 2-, 5- and 10-times tables. Times Tables Rock Stars is great for learning times tables skills, and we encourage pupils to have regular practice at home. 1 Minute Maths is also a great App for reinforcing key maths skills( 1-minute maths app | White Rose Education).

Please can phonics packs, home reading books and reading journals come to school everyday. We use the texts for reading sessions each day and we will update reading records throughout the week.
