Week 3

Wow! What a wonderful class collective worship assembly on Friday. Well done Ash Class. Thank you to everyone who attended.

English

This week we carried on with our character description of Hagrid, looking at each section of the text and understanding what literary devices are used, generating a language bank for our own innovations and creating a writer's toolkit.

Maths

In Year 3, we have started our unit on Measurement, looking at cm, mm and m. We have had lots of fun measuring things around our classroom!

Reading

We looked at an extract in Whole Class Reading this week from 'The BFG'. We focused on retrieval as our VIPERS skill this week.

History and Geography

This term we are looking at the Anglo Saxons to the Vikings, exploring that through the concepts of Liberty, Justice and Legacy. We will look at how these settlements came to be and how it impacted Britain long-term.

This term in PE we are looking at Tennis and Gymnastics. The children have engaged brilliantly, looking at different ball control skills, and creating their own sequences in gymnastics.

In DT this term. we are looking at designing and building our own slingshot car! Thank you to those who have brought in boxes, ready for us to start building.

Science

We are exploring Sound in Science this term, looking at how we hear sounds, the different parts of the ear, and how volume and pitch work.
