Friday 1st July
Happy month all!
This week in Year 3 we've been going 'cross-curricular'!- We have linked our Ancient Egypt topic to other subjects such as maths where we investigated the number of blocks needed to build pyramids and learned about square numbers. In Design & Technology we learnt about different bridge designs and strong shapes. We then designed and built a bridge for the Pharoah to cross the River out of spaghetti- it was good fun (if a little messy!).
In science children have had fun learning about reflections and light using mirrors.
Quite a few children attended the Amasing performance at the Story House in Chester and had a great time. Others attended a rather soggy District Sports event and performed really well- well done to all!
*Next week children will need PE kits on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday is swimming as normal in the morning and Sports Day in the afternoon at the school field.
Friday 24th June
This week has been 'Sports Week' and the children in Year 3 have been rather active!
They learned about the Commonweath Games and used their geography skills to locate countries on a map. They joined the whole school on the annual road safety walk, and also had a great time at the Race for Life event (see photos)- well done to all participants, with a special mention to those who completed the full 20 laps of the field! Thank you also for the sponsor money for such an important cause.
The children have also been writing some great adventure journey stories, have learnt about the Ancient Egyptian pyramids, and have undertaken a fun shadow expriment in science.
The water saftey/ drowning prevention activity at the swimming pool was well recieved on Tuesday.
Next week PE is as normal on Monday and swimming on Tuesday

Friday 17th June.
It has been assessment week this week in Year 3, and children have worked hard to show off their super skills in maths, reading, spelling and grammar!
We have also continued our Ancient Egyptian topic this week and had fun looking into the somewhat gory practice of mummification!
In Science, we have started our light topic and the children have enjoyed exploring shadows.
Children are making good progress in their swimming lessons on Tuesdays, and next week the children will learn important information about water safety and drowning prevention (see separate email with full details about what they will need to bring).
Next week we will be participating in drowning prevention week during school swimming lessons. If the children could come in their swimming costumes and bring along either pyjamas or boys can bring a t-shirt to go with their shorts or leggings and t-shirt for girls. No onesies, jeans or heavy clothing or nothing new that could potentially discolour from the chlorine.
Next week is sports week and children will participate in a variety of activities, with links to the Commonwealth Games. *Please can children come in PE kits on Thursday next week (not Monday)- they can wear pink on Thursday too as they will be completing the whole school's race for life at the field in the morning.*
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind Regards
Mrs Barlow and Mrs Garnett

Friday 20th May
This week in Year 3 we have continued to be very arty and having practiced how to draw life-like portraits, we completed our portraits of Queen Elizabeth II for our Jubilee gallery! - There were many fabulous efforts!
We linked our written work this week to the Jubilee, and we wrote acrostic poems about the Queen and the forthcoming celebrations. Well done also to all the fantastic and confident entrants into the poetry competition for next Tuesday!
In maths, we have continued our measurement topic- we have subtracted lengths and learned how to find the perimeter of 2D shapes.
In our topic lessons, we have looked at and located rivers around the world, and have also found out fascinating facts about the River Nile.
Our 'Awesome' praise jar winners this week were Jack Wilsher and Selena Evans- well done!
PE is as normal on Monday afternoon next week, and swimming is on Tuesday morning.
As part of the Jubilee celebrations next week, we are asking if children can make their own Jubilee-themed hat for Wednesday’s school street party/ picnic. This can be made from scratch or you could decorate an existing hat/cap. On this day also, children are to come dressed in a red/white/blue theme (no football kits).
Wednesday 25th - weather permitting we will be eating outside street party style sochildren can come to school dressed in red/white/blue but no football kits please.There will be a few pocket money stalls (50p each) such as teddy tombola, lucky dip, how many sweets in the jar etc. so children can bring a small amount of money to spend in a named purse/envelope
Have a lovely weekend.

Friday 13th May
This week in Year 3, we have been very arty! We have looked at the colourful work of the famous artist Henri Matisse and we have made printing blocks based on one of his collages. We printed on fabric, and this will be used to make Jubilee bunting! We created our own Matisse-style scissor collages and used the technique to create our own fabulous Jubilee-themed artwork. We have also learned how to draw a lifelike face to help us draw our pencil sketches of Queen Elizabeth for the school's Jubilee exhibition.
In maths, we have used our addition skills to solve measurement problems and have had a big focus on times tables. Each child will need to practice in school and at home on their given times tables (they know which ones they have been set) ready for a weekly little test on a Friday with Mrs Garnett.
In English, the children wrote some beautiful setting descriptions, and in topic lessons, we have continued to research key facts about different continents (e.g. highest mountain, area, population...).
In Science, we dissected a flower and identified all the different parts. We then discussed the process of pollination.
The prize jar winners, for being awesome, this week were Sienna and Rupert. Well done!
*Next week, PE will be on Tuesday afternoon instead of Monday*- swimming is as normal on Tuesday morning*
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind Regards
Mrs Barlow and Mrs Garnett
Friday 6th May
This week in Year 3, the children once again attended their swimming lessons and some have already impressed the swimming coach and have moved up groups!- Great work!
In maths, the children have continued their measurement topic and have looked at conversion between different units of measure (mm/cm/m) - again any practice at home would be beneficial- along with practice using a ruler accurately.
In English, the children have focused on setting descriptions and have collected lots of great noun phrases, adjectives, and verbs to describe what they can see.
In their topic lessons, they have enjoyed combining their map skills to investigate the location of key Egyptian historic landmarks- they all seem to find this topic fascinating!
In Science, we have started our new topic on plants. We have planned and set up our investigations to find out what plants need to grow.
The praise jar (rollover!) winners this week for simply being 'fabulous' are Jack Slator and Nina Duffin- keep up the good work everyone!
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind Regards
Mrs Barlow and Mrs Garnett
Friday 29th April
This week Year 3 have enjoyed beginning their new fascinating topic about Ancient Egypt and have started to create some lovely artistic book covers using their collage skills.
In English, the children have worked hard at making inferences about the main character in the Journey story- an interesting book, as it does not have any words!
In maths, we have continued to look at and compare measurements of different objects. We need to remember the key facts that there are 100 cm in a metre and 10 mm in 1 cm!
On Tuesday, they enjoyed their first visit to Brio in Ellesmere Port for their swimming lessons and look forward to next week's session too!
In spelling this week we have been looking at adding the prefixes re, sub, inter, super, anti, and auto.
Spellings to learn for next Friday are
reappear

We have had an exciting and busy week. The worthy praise jar winners, for 'being awesome,' were Sam and Idris. Well done! In Maths, we have finished our money mini-topic and have started looking at tally charts as part of the statistics topic.
In English, we have enjoyed using our Geography knowledge of the continents and oceans to describe the annual migration patterns of the Blue Whale.
As part of our science week, we had a visit on Monday from a scientist who taught us about the elements in the periodic table, and we had great fun setting fire to different elements to see what colour flame they produce. These elements are used in fireworks to give different colours and effects. We also researched and learnt interesting facts about Sir Isaac Newton and his laws of motion. This links nicely to our new Science topic of forces. This week in Science, we investigated magnetic forces through a circus of experiments, including the floating paper clip, which amazed everyone. As part of our science focus week, we are encouraging all the children to try some bubble investigations at home to encourage them to use observation and enquiry skills. Below are some links for them to learn more about the science behind bubbles. Children are asked to send in pictures with their most successful bubble experiment to their class email.

Friday, 11th February - Weekly Roundup
Mrs Barlow, who is teaching in Year 3 during Mrs Edwards's absence, has really enjoyed her first week with the class.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed their Stone Age day, today. Mrs Porter has shared some photos on Twitter. They made Stone Age tools, made their own fires, built shelters and practised their archery skills for hunting. They ended the day sitting around the fire with S'mores.
Friday, 4th February - Weekly Roundup
The children have worked extremely hard during this assessment week. The afternoons have been spent continuing our research on life during the Stone Age and in particular, learning about the discovery of Skara Brae. The children enjoyed looking at the finds and making deductions on what these might tell us about life at the end of the Stone Age.
Paintings in the style of the Austrian Artist, Friedensreich Hundertwasser were completed and are looking fantastic on display in the classroom.
To celebrate World Read Aloud Day, the children had so much fun with Year One, performing The Sound Collector poem by Roger McGough. Recordings of this can be found on Twittter.
A letter was sent home this week, giving details on The Stone Age day at the school field on Friday, 11th February.
Mrs Porter and I have really enjoyed working with the children over these last few weeks during Mrs Edwards's absence and would like to thank you for your continued support. On Monday, Ms Barlow will be taking over to teach the children whilst Mrs Edwards is absent.
I am looking forward to speaking to you at Parents Evening on Monday, 14th February.
Friday, 28th January - Weekly Roundup
Year 3 have had a very busy week. In English, the children have been continuing to read the Stone Age Boy and The Iron Man with writing tasks relating to these stories. They have been learning how to write direct speech using their own 'speech sandwich'. They have also been thinking about subheadings and titles and creating their own subheadings to group information. Investigating words with the prefixes im-, il-, ir-, dis-, mis- and in- has been this week's spelling focus. An activity for further practice on this can be found in the 'files to download'.
The children have been continuing their learning on multiplying a 2-digit by a 1-digit and using their times tables' knowledge to solve calculations on dividing a 2-digit by a 1-digit. There are a number of games and activities in the 'files to download' section on this page, to continue to develop skills on mental arithmetic.
The children were amazing on Coding, this week. I was very impressed with their skills.
Today, the children have had a lot of fun creating artwork for their Stone Age display in the school corridor. They have designed and created their own cave paintings and Stone Henge drawings as well as painted their Stone Age jewellery. They really enjoyed making axes and large mammoth tusks.
In assembly today, Mr Riley talked to the children about the Great Bird Watch, which is taking place in the coming week, run by the RSPB. Please send in any photos - or drawings - you have taken of birds you have spotted; we would love to see them.
Enjoy your weekend and I look forward to seeing you on Monday.
Wednesday 26th January
Maths - Your task today is to continue with yesterday's learning on dividing a two-digit number by a one-digit number. Your activity can be found in the files section. To improve your skills on times tables and division, you will find fun activities on the following websites:
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/292/Montys-Maths-Wall
Remember, there are lots of revision maths activities in the files to download section, as well as fun maths games.
Reading: Use this opportunity whilst you are at home to read for pleasure. You can also go onto the Oxford Owl reading website, using your log in. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/
Wednesday, 26th January
Good morning. I hope you managed to complete some of the activities set yesterday and that you are feeling more confident with multiplying a 2-digit by a 1-digit. Here are some activities for today:
Spelling:
Today, in English, we are looking at prefixes. As you know, a prefix is added to the beginning of a word to form another word.
Your task today is to look at the table of prefixes (in the files to download section) and investigate which prefixes can be added to which words by sorting the cards under the correct headings. It would be useful to have a dictionary to support you with your understanding of new or unfamiliar vocabulary.
What do you notice about how the prefix changes the word?
Can you think of any rules for adding the prefixes to particular words?
A maths activity will follow shortly.
Burns Night - 25th January
Today, celebrates the birthday of the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns. You can find lots of fun activities to celebrate this day on the following website. https://www.activityvillage.co.uk/burns-night If you would like to share your activities, please send them to the class email address as we would love to see them.
Tuesday, 25th January - Grammar activity to support today's English lesson - To use the correct punctuation for speech
In English today, you will be writing dialogue using the correct punctuation for speech. It would therefore be advisable to watch this video and complete the four activities on the website before starting the English lesson.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zn37wnb
English lesson - Tuesday, 25th January
Starter: To generate a list of adverbs for speech, eg, quietly, softly, in a whisper, in a nervous voice, angrily. CAN YOU AND YOUR HELPER CREATE AN A-Z OF ADVERBS FOR SPEECH? I'D LOVE TO SEE IT AND SHARE IT WITH THE CLASS, IF YOU CAN.
English lesson objective: To write a dialogue using the correct punctuation for speech.
- Look at the picture (in the 'files' section) from Stone Age Boy, showing the two children meeting for the first time. Do you think the girl has met a boy like him before? Do you think he has met a girl like her before? What differences will they notice? Discuss with your helper the characters' thoughts, feelings and what you think they may say to each other.
- You could carry out role play with your helper to bring the characters to life. Try to use the adverbs from your starter activity in your speech and use present and past tense, correctly.
- Now, using your knowledge on speech punctuation and the speech sandwich structure below, as a model, can you write some dialogue between the two children?
Speech sandwich structure:
A speaks "Hey, who are you?" asked the girl curiously.
A does something She stopped walking and stared intensely.
B does something The boy stared back and leaned forward.
B speaks "My name is Alex," he replied in a nervous voice.
The above structure would be written like this:
"Hey, who are you?" asked the girl curiously. She stopped walking and stared intensely at the boy.
The boy stared back and leaned forward. "My name is Alex," he replied in a nervous voice.
NOW, YOU HAVE A GO. IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE SPEECH SANDWICH STRUCTURE, JUST HAVE A GO AT WRITING THE SPEECH SENTENCES WITH AN ADVERB.
Tuesday, 25th January
Good morning, Year 3. For the children who are at home, due to illness or isolating, I hope you will soon be feeling better and that it won't be long until you return to school and be with your friends again.
If you have been able to have a go at the work I have set for the last few days, I hope you managed to complete it. However, if you struggled, I hope the teaching videos helped you.
Today's Maths
Today, we are moving on from multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit number and we are now learning how to divide a two-digit by a one-digit. See the link for the teaching video. The activity for this lesson can be found in the 'files' document below, labelled, 'Divide two digits by one digit lesson 1'.
I have also uploaded two home booklets to support your learning on multiplication and division, labelled, 'White Rose Autumn Block 3 multiplication and division' and 'White Rose Spring Block 1'. In addition, I have uploaded revision booklets on place value and addition and subtraction, from your Autumn term learning. Fun maths games have also been uploaded.
Other activities for today's learning will follow shortly.
Year 3 Friday Round-Up 21/1/22
This week has been rather different in Year 3! Unfortunately, Mrs Edwards is poorly and will be off sick for a few weeks at least.
Both Mrs Evans and Mrs Porter have done a fantastic job in making sure that the children's learning and their enjoyment of school hasn't been affected.
In maths, the children have been working on their 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication (including needing exchanges). In English, they have been composing a story setting using superlative and comparative adjectives. Y3 have enjoyed starting their study of the text, 'Stone Age Boy'.
Both teachers have been impressed with the children's efforts and attitude. Guided reading has continued as normal, and Mrs Porter has commented how much she has enjoyed reading with the children and getting to know them. Please ensure your child is reading every night and practising their times tables.
Both Mrs Porter and Mrs Evans will continue to teach Y3 in Mrs Edwards' absence.
We all wish Mrs Edwards a speedy recovery.
Thank you and kind regards,
Adam Khan - Headteacher

For those of you who are currently isolating but are feeling well enough, here are some activities you can complete at home.
Maths
In maths this week, we are learning how to multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. Here are the video links for Thursday's and Friday's maths lessons. The worksheet for Friday's activity can be found in the orange box at the bottom of this page labelled, "files".
A good website to practise all your maths skills is https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/292/Montys-Maths-Wall
English
In English, our reading and writing will be based around the 'Stone Age Boy' by Satoshi Kitamura and 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes.
The grammar activity for Thursday and Friday is to consider the effect comparative adjectives (+er) and superlative adjectives (est) can have on the reader. Examples of comparative and superlative adjectives are: brighter - brightest; longer - longest; taller - tallest.
You will find an activity in the 'files' section to help you acquire a better understanding of comparative and superlative adjectives.
Friday's English lesson will be to write a setting description using comparative and superlative adjectives. You can write a description of your favourite place: your home; your bedroom; your favourite park; maybe a favourite theme park. An example could be, My favourite park has the tallest slide. It is taller than .......
There are further links below and files to download for more activities.
Hope to see you back in school very soon.
Hi,
If you are isolating and you are well enough please complete the column addition and subtraction calculations under 'files to download'. We are re-visiting these to keep us slick and quick!
I have uploaded the modelled write for the next section of Marcel's diary in 'files to download'. If you are able, you could write the next section where the boys go back and explore the cave. Remember to paint a picture in the reader's mind and include lots of detail.
Here are the links to the cave to give you some inspiration!

Hi,
Happy New Year to you all!
It has been lovely to be back in school with the children. I’m sorry that some of you are still unwell. Hopefully we will all be together again soon!
This week the children have travelled back in time to the Stone Age! They have been making artefacts, including jewellery made out of salt dough and cave paintings.
In English, they have written a diary extract inspired by the wonderful discovery in the caves of Lascaux. They have been on a virtual tour of the cave and have pretended that they were the boy who discovered the treasure inside!
In maths, they have been looking at some Stone Age markings to determine if they are an example of early counting. Their thoughts and ideas have been brilliant! They have also practised their 4 x table in readiness for next week.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
