Year 3
Welcome to Year 3's page all about the wonderful things that we get up to in 3S and 3W.
We are looking forward to a great year with loads of brilliant things going on.
Reminders
PE is currently on a Thursday. We will be teaching the children Athletics in preparation for Sports day. Children need to come to school on a Thursday wearing school PE kit. This is a plain black or red sweatshirt and plain black tracksuit bottoms or leggings. T shirts should be plain white or red. Children need to be wearing trainers and need to be able to remove their own earrings. If they cannot remove their own earrings they should not be worn to school on a Thursday.
Spelling and Maths homework is set weekly on Edshed. Children should be logging in and completing this each week. All children have received their logins.
Children should be regularly logging in and using TT Rockstars. This is a fun way for children to learn and practice their times tables.
Children should be reading regularly at home and returning their reading diaries to school each day. If children read 5 times in a week they receive a raffle ticket and have the opportunity to win a book in our Friday awards assembly.

What have we been learning?
In Maths children have been learning about Mass and capacity, for this learning the children have been exploring using balance scales to weigh objects and also measuring containers, to observe the capacity and volume of these in ml.



We have been looking at persuasion in Literacy and thinking about the words we can use to really persuade people.
We have started to learn about Light in Science and the Anglo Saxons in History.
