Welcome to Year 3!

This week so far: 

It has been a very positive week back after half term. The children have really started to settle into the routines of Year 3, I am very proud of them all. 

In maths, we have been working hard on long addition and subtraction, developing their confidence and accuracy with increasingly challenging problems. In English, they have been exploring similes and descriptive phrases, applying these creatively in their own writing inspired by our new book Fox.

In PE, we have started our gymnastics unit, practising different body shapes including tuck, pike, straddle, straight and bridge, whilst focusing on control and balance.

In geography, the children have been exploring Viking settlements and the countries the Vikings visited. They have been studying maps of Northern Europe, including the UK and Scandinavia, and discovering the seas and other bodies of water that lie between these lands. The class continues to show great curiosity and enthusiasm while learning about this fascinating chapter of history.
