We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year 3 this week. Here’s what we have been up to…
In English, the children have completely an independent write where a character gets lost and then reunited. I have loved seeing their creativity and writing skills blooming!
In Maths, we have started our new topic, mass. We’ve measured the mass of things practically in kilograms and grams and completed some calculations using grams and kilograms.
In PE, we have been developing cricket skills.
In RE, we investigated how Jewish people in Britain celebrate Passover and why they celebrate it.
In Music, we sang Three Little Birds and listened to some 15th century music.
In E-Safety, we talked about how the internet can make us feel and what to do when it goes wrong. The children had very good ideas about this, I am sure they do put these ideas into practice.
In Spanish, we have learned the names of family members.
