It’s been another exciting week in Year 3, especially with Red Nose Day today. We’re huge fans of comedy so to be able to support charities whilst having fun has made for a great day.

We are coming to the end of our learning on fractions. Please continue to encourage your children to explore fractions of quantities – we’re sure you’ll be impressed by what they know.

In Guided Reading this week, we have been learning about plastic pollution. The children have enjoyed reading the book, A Planet Full of Plastic. The children have discussed the importance of looking after our planet and what we can do to help look after the world we live in.

Homework – There are two pieces of maths homework set to complete on Doodle, based on fractions, as well as the home learning grid activities. Please can you remind your child to hand in their home learning book on a Wednesday morning.

Also, please encourage your child to access the times tables section on Doodle, or alternatively, TT Rockstars daily at home; it only needs to be for 10 minutes but it makes such an enormous difference. Choose the Jamming mode and select the times tables that your child is comfortable with to begin with then add in the 3, 4, 8 x tables.  These catchy songs will also help embed learning:
