Spring Term News

Year 3 have had a fantastic Spring Term! Everybody has worked extremely hard and is making great progress. A particular highlight this term has been designing and making our own cushions with a Velcro fastening. The children thought carefully about creating an effective design and then showed lots of determination when using a running stitch to sew their cushion together. All of the children should be really proud of their achievements!  

In our writing lessons, the children have loved reading ‘Stitch Head’ and then creating their own stories and persuasive adverts based on the book. Their grammar knowledge is fantastic and lots of children are now independently using a thesaurus to find interesting vocabulary.  

We have also loved our geography learning this term. The children have been eager to learn about London and Rome, learning about some of the famous attractions and why a tourist would want to visit.  

In maths, we have made a fantastic start to our fractions learning, with all children making great progress and lots of children keen to challenge themselves with problem solving activities. We have also been learning about mass, and we are looking forward to developing this knowledge further after Easter.  

A final highlight this term is our class assembly. The children should be extremely proud of their ability to confidently perform their lines, in addition to singing in Spanish and playing the ukulele! Well done Year 3, I am looking forward to seeing more fantastic learning in the Summer Term!
