Welcome to Year 3!

Teacher: Mr Kellock

Teaching Assistant: Ms Gault 

This week so far: 

In English, we have begun learning about letter writing and have been exploring the purpose and features of a formal thank you letter. The children have started planning a letter to the staff at Verulamium Museum to thank them for making our visit so enjoyable and informative. We have discussed how to organise our ideas and use polite, thoughtful language to express our appreciation.

In Maths, we have started our new unit on addition and subtraction. The children have been using their place value knowledge to help solve calculations and explain their methods. They have worked hard to develop their understanding and confidence when tackling a range of addition and subtraction questions.

In Geography, we have continued our exciting learning about earthquakes and volcanoes. The children have been exploring the movement of tectonic plates in more detail and learning about the impact that volcanic eruptions and earthquakes can have on people and the environment. They have enjoyed sharing their ideas and asking thoughtful questions throughout our lessons.

In PE, we have continued to develop our football skills. This week, we focused on shooting and applying our skills in small sided games. The children worked hard to improve their accuracy and decision making, while demonstrating excellent teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship during matches.

In French, we have continued learning early phonics and practising our pronunciation. The children have enjoyed exploring new sounds and joining in with a range of engaging speaking and listening activities.

Have a great weekend!
