Useful information

Please find below details of our weekly timetable and what children are expected to bring or prepare for each day.

Children need to have their Reading Record in their book bags everyday.

Monday:

Children have a spelling lesson where they will learn the focus for the week and any spelling rules which they can use to help them.  The children will be expected to practise this new spelling learning at home during the week as part of their regular homework. 

Children will have also have a spelling assessment on Mondays.  They will be asked to write 2/3 sentences containing some words from the previous week's learning as well as some words from Year 1 and Year 2 common words list.  They are also expected to punctuate the sentences correctly with capital letters and full stops in the correct places.

The current spelling learning for the week is available here.

Spelling and punctuation

Developing accuracy of spelling and punctuation is a current focus in Year 3, particularly due to the learning children missed during lockdown.  If children have to spend time at home due to needing to isolate, they can work on these areas.  There are a number of useful resources which can be found at BBC Bitesize KS2

Gods and Mortals 

Gods and Mortals knowledge organiser

A Knowledge Organiser sets out what we would like the children to know by heart by the end of the topic. We expect the majority of children to be able to recall all of the information on the Knowledge Organiser by the end of the unit of work. Referring to this will help stretch their long-term memory and develop their recall of key information.

This year, we will be producing 'Knowledge Organisers' which are the ‘go-to’ documents outlining the essential knowledge that the teachers will be covering across a unit of work; including dates, famous figures, vocabulary, definitions, and other information. These Knowledge Organisers will be shared with pupils, parents and carers before units of work are taught, with the aim that everyone knows exactly what is being taught and what the children need to learn.

Here is our Knowledge Organiser for Gods and Mortals. Why not have a look at it and see how much of the information you can learn by heart? You could also research further some of the things you find the most interesting.

Year 3 Portals to the Past day! 

We had an exciting day today on our Portals to the Past experience! We learnt lots of interesting facts and took part in many activities including a quiz, learning how to hunt mammoths, we made our own Stonehenge, we looked at and sketched artefacts and we looked at Bronze Age artefacts. We had such a fun day!

3AB and 3CG Stonehenge art 

Today, we learned about what Stonehenge's are and how they were made. We talked about what they might have been used for. We then used watercolours and black paper to create our own pictures of Stonehenge to show the midsummer sunrise or midwinter sunset.
