We have been very busy making Viking Longships, completing our D & T project for a mechanical toy and today the year 3s have been leaning about the bones in the body. They have put together a human skeleton.

Homework – W/C 9th October 2023
This week I have set a homework on Discovery Education – your child has their login in the front of their reading log (I have checked, and they all work )
As it has recently been Space week I thought I would have a space focus. It also links nicely to a book we are using in class ‘Counting on Katherine’, about a Lady called Katherine Johnson who used her mathematical skills to calculate how to send rockets into space.
The children have a couple of videos to watch and then a quiz, they need to click ‘complete’ after each video and quiz.
There is an extension task of writing about being an astronaut – THIS IS EXTRA NOT COMPULSORY.

DUE IN BY WEDNESDAY 18th OCTOBER
Thank you
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the properties of rocks, the three main rock groups (Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic) and where they come from. This week, the children have been using chocolate to make comparisons to the different rock types and how the rocks are formed on our planet.
Of course they all loved tasting the rocks too 🙂
Homework – W/C 25th September 2023
Times tables facts
Year 3s – 5 x 3, 6 x 3, 7 x 3, 8 x 3
Year 4s – 5 x 7, 6 x 7, 8 x 7, 9 x 7 (Extra beat the clock activity)
Remember to practise in any order including division facts.
Spellings – You should be practising 2 or 3 words from your half term list each week.
Reading – Read chapter 4 from ‘Robochef’ on fiction express, remember you can choose, level 1, level 1 lite or audio, then answer the questions.
Please find this weeks homework – I have spoken to the children in class about this weeks homework. They all have their logins and passwords for Fiction Express. They all understand what they have to do. On fiction express there are three different versions for chapter 1;
Please do not panic if you think this is too hard for your child, even when listening via the audio, your child should be able to complete the test at the end.
I understand that the year 3 children are a little anxious about the expectations for this year, please don’t worry, in a matter of weeks it will feel normal. It is quite a jump academically from year 2 to year 3.
I have had conversations with Mrs Greggory about individual children and what their limitations are, she feels that what I have set this week is well within all capabilities.
Homework due in by Wednesday next week.
Thank you
Kind regards,

A small reminder that your child should have a waterproof coat in their bag everyday please, as we still go outside in light drizzle.
