Year 3R Class Blog – This Week’s Learning
This week in Year 3R, we have been focusing on independent thinking and reading expertise, linked to our INSPIRE ethos. The children have shown fantastic effort and enthusiasm across the curriculum.
Reading
To encourage reading at home, children who have three parent signatures in their reading record (showing they have read three times) will earn a sticker on their new bookmark. Once they collect six stickers, they will be rewarded with a Reading Expert Dojo point. We are proud of the children’s commitment to reading.
Maths
In Maths, we have been learning how to multiply and divide a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. The children worked hard to apply their skills and explain their thinking.
Geography
We explored the question “What are rivers?” and learned about famous rivers in the UK and around the world, developing map skills and geographical knowledge.
Science
Our Science learning focused on rocks, where we learned about sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks and how they are formed.
English
In English, we continued reading The Girl Who Lost the Leopard. We explored the character of Uncle Kandaraja and discussed his impact on Selvi and her mother, sharing thoughtful ideas and opinions.
PE
In PE, the children enjoyed learning the skills of Handball, focusing on teamwork and coordination.
RE
In RE, we explored Christianity and leadership, discussing what makes a good leader.
Computing
We have been busy in Computing:
- Practising times tables using TT Rockstars (all children have their login details in their homework books)
- Using Scratch to explore sequencing sprite characters
Music
In Music, we began learning how to play the recorder, practising correct technique and listening skills.
R Time
During R Time, we worked as a team to draw a robot, developing communication and collaboration skills.
Thank you for your continued support.
Homework is due in on Wednesday.
Have a lovely weekend!
Mrs Jones and Miss Robinson.
