Welcome back everyone. We hope you had a super Easter break and managed to eat an Easter egg or two.
You will be pleased to hear that Year 3 have enjoyed their first week back, and have been working hard.
In Mathematics lessons this week, we have been practising our four times tables, making links and looking for patterns. We will continue to work on our times tables next week, with a focus on the 8s.
In English this week we have started our new book, 'Incredible Jobs You've Probably Never Heard Of.'
We are loving it! You won't believe the jobs that some people do!
Our aim is to create a non-chronological report at the end of this unit. Next week, we will begin planning our reports.
In Science we have started our new topic, Rocks and Soils. We have been looking at the properties of several different rocks, including marble, stone, flint, limestone, sandstone, chalk and granite. We then compared the rocks and grouped them, using a Venn Diagram.
In RE this week, we discussed the 5 Pillars of Islam, remembering our previous learning on them and why they hold importance to Muslims. Today, we focused on the Pillar Sawm which represents fasting. We learnt about what Ramadan is and why Muslims fast and how this is important in order for them to be able to feel close to God. We learnt about who is exempt from fasting in Ramadan and what their role is during Ramadan in order for them to be able to feel close to God in this time. Lastly, we thought about Muslims values in relation to fasting and related these to our own values in what we do in order to feel close to God.
In PSHE this week we discussed the roles and responsibilities of family members and reflected on the expectations for males and females. We then took part in an activity where, in groups, we were given a number of roles and asked ‘whose responsibility’ each one would be. It was up to us to decided which job was more suited to each person and why. After this we compared notes and as a whole class discussed why we had matched particular role to either men or women.

Through the Ages Optional Home Learning Project
Year 3
During Autumn Term, Year 3's topic focus will be the through the ages. To support your child's learning and understanding of the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age, we would like to invite you and your child to take part in a homework project. Your child can choose one of the following categories which they could do for their project:
- Research an aspect of pre-historic Britain: the Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age and use what you find out to create a fact file.
- Cave homes – During the Stone Age, people lived in caves. If you had to live in a cave, what would you like it to look like and what would be in it? Be as creative and imaginative as you like! Maybe you could build your own 3D cave to bring in!
- Make up your own story, it can be about anything you like and you can tell it through cave art pictures.
- Stone Age recipes – Stone Age people could not pop to the shops for food. Everything they ate had to be caught or collected. Write your own recipe for a Stone Age dinner using the sort of ingredients that would be available to them.
- You could even design your own Stone, Bronze or Iron Age house.
- Prehistoric Tools – Find out and write about tools that were used in each of the Ages (Stone, Bronze and Iron). You can also draw pictures to go with your writing.
- Stone Age Jewellery – Stone Age people made bead necklaces, pendants and brooches. Make your own piece of jewellery which you can bring in.
- Stonehenge Model – Find out about Stonehenge. Make a model or draw a landscape picture of Stonehenge and write some information to go with it.
These activities can be carried out in a way that suits your child best. For example; you could make a fact book, a plan, a model or a drawing.
Completed projects can be brought into school as soon as they are completed but by the latest Wednesday 11th December.
