It has been lovely to welcome everyone back after the Christmas holidays. We hope you all had a wonderful break. Thank you again for all your kind gifts -the whole team are very grateful.
In English we have started using a new book as a stimulus for our writing called ‘War and Peas’. This week we did a lot of work on understanding the main character and building our vocabulary using a thesaurus.
In Maths we are working on the 3 times table. We have been using manipulatives to show our times table facts as arrays.
In Geography we started our new topic: Mountains and Volcanoes! In DT we started learning about pizza and did a quiz about the history of pizza. Do you know what the word pizza means in Italian?
Our new Science topic is light and we worked hard thinking about objects that are sources of light. We are encouraging everyone to go and take a look at the moon installation in the nave of the cathedral in St Albans.
We hope you have a lovely weekend. Don’t forget your recorders every Monday and PE kits for Mondays and Thursdays. Please ensure you are reading regularly with your child and asking them questions. Please record this in their reading record.
The Year 3 team.
