We have had a fun week in Year 3 this week. We have continued our learning about fractions in maths - the children are able to shade fractions of shapes confidently and can compare and order some fractions too!

In our English lessons, we have written some fantastic setting descriptions linked to our class text 'The Night Gardener'. 

We have also begun rehearsals for our upcoming play and Year 3 absolutely loved their first Music Tech lesson with Mr Croombs - as you can see in the videos and photographs!

12th April 2024

We have had a brilliant first week back in Year 3!

We have been so impressed with how the children have settled quickly back into routines, worked hard and shown kindness to each other. As a result of all of the children's hard work this week, we have earned our class reward - now just to decide what we would like to do for it!

In our maths lessons, the children have started their learning about fractions - they have been really impressive with their existing knowledge about fractions and how well they have picked up what we have covered so far. 

In our English lessons, we have started reading our class text for this term 'The Night Gardener'. The children are gripped already!

15th March 2024

It has been another busy week in Year 3! We have been busy doing assessments this week - the children have all worked amazingly hard which has been great to see. In between our assessments, we have also managed to continue learning about measures by measuring the perimeter of different shapes and we have continued reading 'The Street Beneath my Feet' making our journey to the centre of the Earth! Red Nose Day was such fun too - all the children looked amazing in their finest red clothes!

8th March 2024

This week in year 3 we have continued with our measuring work. We have learnt how to convert between different measures and add measures too. We had a lot of fun measuring our height and feet and how far we could jump.

In our English lessons, we have re-drafted and improved our written instructions and then we published them using the Chromebooks where we learnt how to input bullet points on the computers and format our work properly.

1st March 2024

What a fun week we have had in Year 3 this week!

We have been learning about giving and writing instructions - and just how clear we have to be! We made sandwiches (and ate them!) and then planned and wrote a set of clear instructions telling someone else how to make one. I have been so impressed with how well the children set out their work and included all of the language features needed for a successful set of instructions.

In maths, we have continued our work on length and measures. We have continued to refine the skill of measuring accurately in cm and mm and we have learned how to convert between metres and centimetres too.

26th January 2024

It has been another fun and busy week in year 3! In our English lessons, we have been reading and working on the Greek Myth 'Daedalus and Icarus'. The children have really enjoyed getting into character and freeze framing some key moments from the story and really considering what the characters are thinking at different points in the story.

In our maths work, we have consolidated our learning of the 3 and 4 times table and we are now moving on to learning our 8 times table.

19th January 2024

It has been a very busy (and chilly!) week in Year 3 this week! In maths, we have finished learning our 3 x table - we are now practising these repeatedly to gain speed! We have now started learning our 4 times table.

In English, we have written some fantastic non-chronological reports about the ancient Greek gods and goddesses - the children have really impressed me with their knowledge.

12th January 2024

It has been a wonderful week in Year 3 - we have loved welcoming back the children and hearing all about their lovely Christmas holidays. They have all settled back into our daily routines really well.

In our English learning this week, we have researched different Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses in preparation for a piece of writing next week and looked at the features required to write a non-chronological report. In Maths, we have revisited multiplication as 'equal groups', and then used this knowledge to begin sharing and grouping for division. The children have enjoyed using the cubes to represent different division questions.

15th December 2023

It has been a lovely week in Year 3 this week. We have finished all of our assessments and started thinking about Christmas! We also completed our behaviour target by getting the paper chain, which was hanging from the ceiling, all the way to the floor! The children should be so proud of their hard work to achieve this together and as a reward we have had a film morning with popcorn!

We will be in full on Christmas mode next week as we look forward to Christmas dinner, Christmas jumper day and our party! There will be lots of festive fun for the last week!

8th December 2023

It has been another busy week in Year 3! We have been working hard completing our assessments this week - but we’ve balanced the hard work with lots of giggles about our naughty Year 3 Elf and enjoyed some chocolate too! We have started working on multiplication in maths and we have finished reading our class text Stone Age Boy. We have also started our rehearsals for the Church on the last day of term. It’s starting to feel very Christmassy!

1st December 2023

It’s been another really great week in Year 3! Our English lessons have taken us to our final stages of our letter writing journey - the children have written fantastic letters from the Stone Age to their families ‘back home’ and edited and published these using Chromebooks.

In Maths we have consolidated all of our learning of addition and subtraction by using inverse operations to solve puzzles and learning rules to apply when finding complements to 100.

We finished the week by putting up our Christmas decorations, celebrating the return of the Year 3 Naughty Elf, and writing Christmas wishes to hang on the tree with some chocolate baubles too!

24th November 2023

It has been another busy week in Year 3! We have celebrated achieving our class behaviour target this week with some extra playtime along with celebrating Diwali in our Diwali dance workshop. In our English lessons, we have been identifying the features of a letter and in our maths lessons we have consolidated our addition and subtraction work by using column methods to answer some tricky worded puzzles.

Well done on another great week Year 3!

10th November 2023

It’s been a great first week back after half term in Year 3. In our morning lessons, we have started our English work around the book ‘Stone Age Boy’. We have been detectives by spotting clues to help us develop our prediction skills and getting into role by acting out some of the scenes.

In Maths this week we have consolidated our work so far on addition and the column method by continuing to exchange ones to make tens and learning how to exchange tens to make hundreds. I have been so impressed with how well Year 3 have done with this tricky maths work!

27th October 2023

It has been a great end to the half term in Year 3. In our morning lessons, we have finished reading 'The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark' and we have written some halloween themed acrostic poems. In maths, we have started learning how to formally add using the column addition. Have a lovely half term week!

20th October 2023

It’s been another busy week in year 3. In our morning lessons, we have started work on addition and subtraction in maths and we have learnt how to add and subtract ones, tens and hundreds to a 3 digit number.

In our English lessons, we have started work on poetry. We had a go at performing a sound poem and we have also had a go at writing our own poetry. The children have worked really well with their partners to produce some excellent onomatopoeia poems!

6th October 2023

It has been another busy week in Year 3 this week! We have been learning how to write a diary entry in our English lessons using the appropriate features and I have been blown away by how much the children's handwriting has improved! In Maths, we have been counting in 50s up to 1000 and beyond, and solving some tricky puzzles on number lines to 1000 too.

A highlight of the week was our trip to the Hull and East Riding Museum and the Ferens Art Gallery - we cannot wait to learn more about the Stone Age when we study it after half term now!



29th September 2023

This week in Year 3 we have been continuing our maths learning on place value by comparing 3 digit numbers and beginning to put sets of 3 digit numbers in order. We even got the dice out, and played some games by rolling the dice and placing the digits carefully in order to make the biggest number.

In English we have looked at a good example of a diary entry and practised using conjunctions in sentences too. This will help us when we come to write our own diary entries next week!

We also achieved our class behaviour target this week, so enjoyed a game of dodgeball in the sunshine as a reward!

22nd September 2023

We have had another good week in year 3. In our morning lessons we have worked really hard and all produced a fantastic piece of descriptive writing based on the book we are studying 'Orion and the Dark'. I was so impressed with the children's handwriting!

In Maths we have continued our work on 3 digit numbers and we are now beginning to calculate 1, 10 and 100 more or less than any 3 digit number.

8th September 2023

It has been a lovely week in year 3. It has been great to welcome all of the children back looking smart and listening to all of their holiday adventures. It has been lovely getting to know them all! In our morning lessons, we have started reading our class texts for this half term 'Orion and the dark' and the 'Owl who was afraid of the Dark' and we have started working on place value in maths. I have been so impressed with the children's enthusiasm and attitudes to their learning.

19th October 2022

What a fantastic Forest School session year 2 had today!

Everyone had a go at chopping wood for the fire and used the flint and steel to start the fire.  Lots of problem solving skills and team work was needed today.

Year 2 finished their busy afternoon with a nice warm hot chocolate.

18th October 2022

Today, year 2 have been busy role-playing their favourite scenes from their class book 'Wild' by Emily Hughes.

8th March 2022

This half term we are studying 'Dogger' by Shirley Hughes. Dogger is a story about a little boy called alfie who loses his favourite toy. Today we have had a lovely day writing about our favourite teddies. This afternoon we enjoyed a teddy bear's picnic in the sunshine.

Some photos of our Christmas lunch. We had a lovely time!
