Autumn Term Week 2

This week we have moved onto chapter 2 of the Butterfly Lion. The boys have answered questions relating to the text and we have focused on character descriptions.

In Maths we have reinforced mental strategies for addition and subtraction particularly when adding and subtracting 9, 11, 19 and 21.

Our Science focus this week has led us to investigate why we eat and to begin to look at healthy foods.

All the boys enjoyed a training session with iPads and they all created impressive pieces.

Week 3 will see us reading chapter 3 of the Butterfly Lion and we will also begin to work on column addition and subtraction. The 4 times table will be our focus for testing this week.

Thank you to all the boys who came to our Open Morning, we hope you enjoyed it.

Have a great weekend!

What a fantastic start to Year 3!

The boys have completed their first full week in Year 3 and have settled in extremely well. As the week has progressed their independence has already visibly improved. Tuck, for the boys, was the highlight of the week; with the After School Activities sharing this limelight too.

In Maths this week we have focused on Place Value and Partitioning. Next week we will be looking at how to add and subtract 9,19, 29 etc from a 2 or 3 digit number.

We have started reading the Butterfly Lion and the boys have completed their first reading comprehension based on the first chapter.

In History we have begun to understand who the Romans were and why they invaded Britain.

In Science we have begun to look at our topic of Teeth and Healthy Eating. Whilst in Geography we have identified the continents in the world and located the oceans.

English homework this week consists of spellings (focusing on double consonants) and creating a fact-file for Michael Morpurgo which will be used in class.

Thank you for all your support and encouragement.

Have a great weekend!
