Year 3

It is so lovely to be back at school with you all.

You have settled in very well, and have returned ready for learning.

Keep up your enthusiasm and attitude towards learning, as we approach the last term of the school year!

We are very proud of you all!!

From Mrs Kiddell, Mrs Wade and Mrs Martin.

We are so excited for next week! Three more sleeps and we will be back with our friends, working as a team.

We look forward to seeing you all soon. Have a lovely weekend. 

Hi guys,

Happy World Book Day! 

We already have some competitors for our head-wear competition. It's going to be tricky picking the winners! We look forward to seeing the rest of your entries.

Pick up a book and immerse yourself into the world of imagination! Where will your book take you? Which character would you like to be and why?

Hello our lovely year three team,

We hope you have had an enjoyable half term. 

You have been amazing at logging on and getting to work with all of your online learning. Nothing much has changed in what you will be doing, you are just accessing your work through Google Classroom.

Please keep emailing us at the class email address. Seeing your hard work and photos brightens our day.

We look forward to seeing you all in March 🤞🏻
 

Stay safe and happy,

Mrs Kiddell, Mrs Martin and Mrs Wade

Please email your questions and photos to:

year3@northwood.bexley.sch.uk

To make it easier for you to navigate the remote learning, we have divided the work into days. Each day has 4 pieces of work for you to complete.

You will also see tabs for spellings and times tables which we also need you to work on.

We will as always, be updating Mathletics and Reading Eggs every week.

Stay safe

Team Year 3

Good morning and a happy new year to you all.

As you are aware, very sadly, we are unable to open school to all children. 

We will be putting links on this page for the children, to allow them to continue their learning at home (you guys have become experts at this over the past year).

All work will link to the curriculum that we'll be studying, this term, in school.

Please continue to log onto Mathletics and Reading Eggs as we'll also update them too.

We will post the weekly spellings and would be grateful if someone could test you on a Friday.

Don't forget to keep practising your times tables!

Missing you lots and cannot wait for us all to be back working together again.

From Mrs Kiddell, Mrs Wade and Mrs Martin x

This week we are looking at reading and showing the time.

We have made our own clocks and are using them to make a given time.

Today we have been transferring our maths skills, from the classroom, to the Computer Suite.

We have taken the data from class and created our own bar graphs.

 I would just like to say a huge thank you to both adults and children for the enthusiasm and support of home learning. It is always lovely to receive work that the children have done at home. 

I thought that you should know that more than half of the children scored 100% in their spellings this week. Please check out our 100% board in the class window to see if your child was one of them.

This week's spellings are:

kneel

knew

knife

In maths this week we are looking at statistics. We began by collecting various data and recording it in a pictogram.

We now know the most popular eye colour, pet, crisp flavour, colour and football team of all the children in year 3. I am pleased to say that most of year 3 support Arsenal!! (What a great year 3 they are.)

Children need to secure their 3,4 and 8 times tables whilst in year 3. But mums and dads, don't let them stop there! We already have some superstars in multiplication.

Don't forget to work on the inverse too!!

5 multiplied by 3 = 15

3 lots of 5 = 15

15 divided by 3 = 5

15 divided by 5 = 3

Below is a link to a useful website to make learning them fun.

To celebrate Black History Month, the children will be researching Phillis Wheatley, the first African-American author to have her book of poetry published.

Spellings for week beginning are as follows:

Recent

Concert

Sentence

Excellent

Lamb

Comb

Climb

Crumb

Thumb

Knee

In Maths this week we are working on fractions of numbers.

Examples:

1/2 of 24 = 12

1/4 of 40 = 10

=1/4 

In English this week we are writing a poem from the point of view of a Neanderthal.

Useful vocabulary: gatherer, hunter, cave, spear, bow and arrow, tools and stone.

almost

Continuing on with our Science this half term, the children have been investigating forces.

As part of their work, they have been testing out various materials to see if they can be moved by a magnetic force or if they need contact force.

We also looked at magnets repelling and attracting.

How quickly time passes. We are already at the end of the second week!

This week the children have carried out an experiment to see which surfaces have high friction and which surfaces have low friction.
