Hello everyone,

We have had a busy but great week in Year 3! This week we have welcomed Miss Peate to the Year 3 team, she will be completing her teaching placement with us and she is looking forward to working with all of the children during this time.

In Maths, we have been continuing with our fractions learning, this week we have been looking at fractions of a number and equivalent fractions. The children worked really hard with this and used fractions walls to support them with finding equivalent fractions.

In Literacy, we have been looking at the features of a Newspaper report focusing on, adverbs, speech and technical vocabulary. I was impressed with the children’s ability to use a dictionary to find definitions to technical vocabulary inked to Romans.

This term, P.E will be on Thursdays. The children need to come into school in their kit.

Thank you for your parents evening responses, you will receive an email next week with a timeslot and TEAMS link.

Enjoy the Bank holiday, we will see you all on Tuesday!

Hello everyone,

What a great week back we have had! We have been enjoying the lovely weather!

In Literacy, we have been looking at Newspapers, this week we have focused on finding the features and retelling a Newspaper. I was particularly impressed with the children’s acting and speaking and listening, when retelling.

In Maths, we have been continuing with fractions. Please remember that I will assigning work on Matheletics for the children to complete at home. We celebrate achievements  for completed work during our Friday assemblies.

Our topic this term is Romans, which we are all very excited to begin! The children will be sent home with a homework sheet with actives linked to this topic. They can chose an activity to complete in the week, this will be collected in on a Friday.

Please keep up the reading, recording this in their reading records daily.

Have a great weekend,

Miss Bliss, Mrs Davies and Mrs Evason

Hello everyone,

What a half term it has been! It has been so lovely welcoming all of the children back and I am so pleased with how they have all come back to school.

In Literacy we have been writing our own Egyptian adventure stories about a tomb robber. The children have all share some wonderful ideas and have created some excellent stories.

In Maths we have been continuing our learning on fractions. We have been learning about unit and non-unit fractions and equivalent fractions. After half term we will be looking at making a whole, tenths and fractions on a number line.

In our topic, we have been finding out about the social pyramid, research who was who in Ancient Egypt and their roles. In Ukulele, we learn the tune ‘Hot Cross Buns’.

I hope you all have a safe and restful Easter Break, thank you for your continued support this term.

We will see you all back on Tuesday 20^th April

Take care,

Miss Bliss, Mrs Davies and Mrs Evason

Hello everyone,

This week we have been busy completing our assessments, well done to all of the children for their hard work and focus during these.

In topic, we have been looking at hieroglyphics, using oil pastels to write our names and create our own sentences. We will be back to learning about fractions in maths and historical stories in our literacy next week.

Please remember to send children into school in coats as we aim to get outside as much as we can.

Next week children will not be in school on Friday as this is a bank holiday.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Bliss, Mrs Davies and Mrs Evason.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for all of your support with comic relief! We have a great day, sharing our funny jokes certainly made us smile!

This week in Literacy, we have been looking at writing our own historical stories based on a well-known story but with a twist! The children have showed excellent creativity, telling the story from another perspective.

In Maths, we have started our fractions unit of learning. The children have been learning all about halves and quarters and have been off to a great start with this unit!

In our topic, we have learnt all about pyramids. We found out that one pyramids height was 230m, which we worked out was 8 laps of the netball courts. We gave jogging/walking the distance ago to get an idea of the size! We also designed and built a pyramid structure, using straws, plasticine and card. Next week, we will be learning about hieroglyphics.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Bliss, Mrs Davies and Mrs Evason

Hello

This week we have been celebrating Science Week! We have been carrying lots of activities and experiments linked to our Year 3 topic Rocks. The children have been grouping rocks, researching the Scientist Mary Anning, building and erupting a volcano and designing a rock crusher! I have been so pleased with the children’s questioning skills during discussions and the children’s ability to observe closely.

Next week, we will be starting a Maths unit Fractions, recognising and finding halves and quarters. In Literacy, we will be starting our unit Historical Stories. The children will be finding the features and starting to write their own short story. We will also been continuing our topic unit, Egyptians!

Please remember to keep up the daily reading!

Have a good weekend,

Miss Bliss, Mrs Davies and Mrs Evason

Hello everyone,

We are really looking forward to seeing you all back in school on Monday 8^th March! I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for all of your support and commitment over this very strange time. I am so proud of each child, for all they have achieved and we are very excited to settle them back into school on Monday.

Next week will be Science week and we have many exciting activities planned over the week! If you do have any empty plastic water bottles, can I ask that you can bring them in next week as we will be using these for one of our Science experiments.

I will be collecting in the children’s purple books that they have been completing their remote learning in.

This half term, we have our PE on Monday and Thursday. Children are to arrive in school in their PE kits and to have suitable clothing for both indoor and outdoor sessions.

As always, if you have any questions or queries about anything please email me on our class email hazel@crowmoorschool.co.uk

Have a great weekend,
