Welcome back!

Maths
This week, Year 3 continued their learning in addition and subtraction, focusing on subtracting ones across a ten. Although the children initially found this concept a little tricky, they have worked hard and are becoming much more confident! We have been using number bonds to partition numbers, counting back to the previous multiple of ten and then subtracting the remaining amount. Towards the end of the week, we started to work on ways to subtract 10s across 100.

English
Year 3 have had a brilliant week exploring our new class text, ‘Leon and the Place Between’! The children loved sharing their own experiences of the circus and imagining what it might be like to step inside the magical tent full of tricks. Using their senses, they explored what they might see, hear, touch and smell, writing down their ideas to help them write descriptive sentences using expanded noun phrases. We then challenged ourselves to uplevel our vocabulary, thinking carefully about the words we choose and explaining why they were effective. To finish the week, we explored a range of different adverts before putting our persuasive writing skills to the test! The children created their own exciting circus adverts, inviting others to come along and experience the magic for themselves. We will continue with the adverts next week.

Reading buddies
It was a brilliant week back visiting our reading buddies in Nursery. Year 3 were super sensible and enjoyed reading different books to the children. We’re looking forward to visiting next term.

RE
This week, children learned more about Shabbat and the Ten Commandments, exploring the significance of having a special day of rest. To share their learning, the children created beautiful, informative posters explaining the importance of Shabbat and drawing a range of activities families might enjoy during this special time.

Science
Our new unit is all Light and Dark. This week, Year 3 explored different sources of light and shared their ideas about what they think gives off light. We had lots of suggestions, as well as a few common misconceptions – including the idea that the Moon is a source of light! The children grouped their ideas into two categories: light sources and reflections.
