Year 3

Week beginning 21st September 2020

We have had another fabulous week in school and the children have continued to follow our new golden rules (safe, clean and careful). We are really impressed with how hard the children have been working and can see they are super ready for Year 4!

Weekly Focus: All about Me – “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:1

English: This week we will be focussing on transition in preparation for moving to year 4. We will be asking the children to look into the future and consider what their life might be like. What do they want to be when they grow up?

They will compose a set of questions, to find out what it is like to be in Year 4 and create a leaflet about being in Year 3. They will also look at the key features of a letter and write a letter to their new class teacher telling them about themselves.

Maths: The children will develop their understanding of addition and subtraction, using the pictorial and abstract approach. This will also include problem solving.

RE: Together we will read the footprints poem, God has a plan for our lives. We will discuss the following questions: What do you think this poem means? Why do we go through hard times? Why /how does God carry us?

Please continue to read daily with your child, practise the Year 3 spellings and the 3, 4, 8 and 11 times tables.
