What Year 3 have been up to this week...
30 November - 4 December
This week, the children have been doing some assessments in maths, reading, writing, times tables and grammar and punctuation. They have been very focused and have given 100%. We are extremely proud of them! This will help us to plan for, and challenge the children after the Christmas holidays.
If your child is off isolating, we will be uploading Maths, English and Reading into the Teams channel on their iPad. This will mean that your child can access the same work at home as they would at school.
Please remember to send in your child’s iPad every day (fully charged) in the plastic school bag.
The children now have the app for the AR reading quiz on their own iPad so as soon as they have finished a school reading book or a book from home, they can take a quiz on it!
Spellings and times tables are added to this page each week. Please make sure your child practises their spellings each night. They will bring home their completed tests on a Friday.

23-27 November
This week in literacy, we have been focussing on characters from ‘The Ice Bear’. We have been using our inference skills to record the feelings of a character and ask questions.
In Math, we have been looking at the relationship between multiplication and division. We have also started learning a range of Christmas songs as we have a very exciting event coming up. More details will follow!
In Geography we are learning about climate and weather. We have made our own wind measuring device and record and compare the temperature daily.
If your child is off isolating, we will be uploading Maths, English and Reading into the Teams channel on their IPad. This will mean that your child can access the same work at home as they would at school. This will begin on Monday 30th November.

A message from Miss Lyons to Zephaniah Class.
‘I am so impressed with how many of you have logged into teams for home learning. I have really enjoyed looking at the learning you have sent back and can’t wait to see you soon’.
This week in literacy, we have been writing persuasive letters to Boris Johnson based on the effect climate change is having on polar bears. In Science, the children have loved making predictions and learning about how much sugar is in their favourite drinks. We are making great progress with multiplication in Maths and have started ‘sharing’ as a way of division.
Please remember to send in your child’s iPad every day (fully charged) in the plastic school bag. When they have finished their reading book they can bring it back and do an online quiz on a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday.
Spellings and times tables will now be added to this page, so please make sure your child practises them each night. They will bring home their completed tests on a Friday.

9-13 November
In Year 3, we have been doing anti-bullying activities to raise awareness of bullying, what it looks like, how it can make people feel and what we could do about it. We have also been learning about Remembrance day, and why it is celebrated each year. The children have produced some beautiful art work.

Times Tables
The Importance of Times Tables
Times tables are essential mathematical skills and we teach them in some form every day. With a sound understanding, children are able to progress their numeracy skills and become more confident with numbers.
When it comes to times tables, speed AND accuracy are important. We would like to ask you to help your son/daughter with some times tables practise for 5 minutes a day. There are many websites specifically set up to help children make rapid progress and build their confidence. Here are three that you can use:
When all children have access to their own iPad we will be providing them with a number of additional websites and apps to support their progress. More details will follow. In the time being, you can use a pen and paper, do verbal practise or even sing them.
Any time you can spend supporting your child to improve their times table will make a big difference.
