Welcome to Year 3!

Teacher: Mr Kellock

Teaching Assistant: Ms Gault 

This week so far: 

In English, we were very proud to publish our formal thank you letters to the staff at Verulamium Museum. The children took great care with their presentation, producing some incredibly neat pieces of writing. It was wonderful to see all of their hard work come together in their final letters.

In Maths, we have begun learning column addition and subtraction. The children have been practising how to exchange when adding and subtracting numbers and are starting to develop a secure understanding of why this method works. They have approached this new learning with enthusiasm and resilience.

In DT, we had great fun making our Italian salads. The children demonstrated excellent food preparation skills and worked carefully to create their own tasty salads. They showed fantastic independence, enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the session, and the finished products looked delicious!

In Science, we have been learning about the different layers of soil, including topsoil, subsoil and bedrock. The children explored the important role that worms play in keeping soil healthy by breaking down organic matter and helping air and water move through the soil. They enjoyed discovering just how important these small creatures are to our environment.

In PE, we have moved on to basketball. The children have enjoyed learning some of the basic skills, including passing, dribbling and ball control, while also developing their teamwork and communication skills.

Have a great weekend!
