Autumn 2 Week 2 – Prayers


Stars of the Week: Carter and Polina


This week we have been writing prayers in preparation for our class collective worship. Carter and Polina both wrote really thoughtful prayers, reflecting on our learning and the things that we are thankful for.

Carter:

Dear God,
Thank you for letting us come to school. Thank you for letting us eat our food and thank you for always letting us do work.
Please help us to learn. Help us with our confidence.
Amen.

Polina:

Dear God,
Thank you for the teachers and the people who love us. Thank you for the school and for nature and animals. Please help us to live happy lives. Please make us learn with wonderful teachers. Thank you for the Bible because it is good to show kindness. Please help us show the fruits of the spirit.
Amen.

Autumn 2, Week 1 – Times Tables


Stars of the Week: Amaris and Kirstin


Class Three have been working so hard on using their times tables. Kirstin and Amaris both did brilliantly on the 3x table quiz this week, and used their knowledge of the inverse to solve missing number divisions and other related facts. Great work!

Today, we start learning the 4x table. It’s very exciting to see the progress that Class 3 are making with maths so far this year. Keep it up, superstars!

We have also started our new history topic on the Stone Age. We are reading Stone Age Boy in English and developing our historical knowledge through literacy.
Stig of the Dump is our class book for story time.

Autumn 1 Week 6 – The Bible


Stars of the Week: Deborah and Martha


We have been learning about the metanarrative of the Bible in R.E. this term, and have thought about how the different writings in the Bible add to this ‘big story’. We learnt the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den and wrote diary entries to show how Daniel’s actions showed his faith in God.

Next week we will be… continuing our maths learning on adding and subtracting using 3-digit numbers.

Autumn 1 Week 4 – Vincent van Gogh


Stars of the Week: Fintan and Parker


We are learning about Vincent van Gogh in art this half term, and have created some landscapes inspired by ‘The Starry Night’. First, we created starry backgrounds, showing movement through patterns and lines, then sketched the buildings around us from observation. Fintan and Parker looked really closely at the shapes and details to produce some really effective work.

Super artists, well done!

Next week, we will begin our maths unit on addition and subtraction, and begin to learn to add with three-digit numbers.

Autumn 1 week 3 – Poetry


Stars of the Week: Funmi and Kemena


This week, Class 3 have been writing poetry inspired by our class text, Oliver and the Seawigs. Kemena and Funmi worked together brilliantly to create their poem describing a ‘Rambling Isle’ from the story. We’ll soon have a fantastic display of poetry and sea monkey illustrations on our classroom wall!

Autumn1 week 2 – Wisdom


Stars of the Week: Beatrix and Noella


Well done to Beatrix and Noella for your thoughtful contributions to our topic on the wisdom of the Proverbs! You produced some beautiful display work and thought carefully about the wisdom that you try to follow in your own lives.

Have a look at our beautiful display!

Next week we will be learning… about the skeletons of different animals; and we will continue reading our class text, Oliver and the Seawigs.

Autumn 1 Week 1 – Welcome to Year 3!


Stars of the Week: Thomas and Saraea


Class 3 have made a fantastic start to the new school year, and are getting on brilliantly with all the new things for KS2. Well done for returning to school so keen to learn and ready for new challenges, such as learning Spanish!

A special well done to Thomas and Saraea who have worked particularly hard on their presentation skills this week, and have made some really interesting contributions to class discussions.

Here is the Spanish we learnt this week. Try to practise with your friends and family!

Next week, we will be learning about representing numbers to 1,000 in maths.
