What We’ve Been Learning – Year 3 – Autumn Week 6

• We have planned and written adverts persuading pirates to join our school.

• We had a fabulous Pirate Day and a real pirate came to visit!  He showed us many artefacts such as a real canon, swords and pistols.  We got to walk the plank, have a tug of war, swing in a hammock and made a clay medallion.

• We looked at the suffix –ing and have added it to words.

• We have learnt the compact column method in addition in order to solve number problems. E.g 124 + 122 =

•        124
•        122 +
•        246

• We practised our TT Rockstars each day looking at the 2 times table.

• We practised the joins -age, -aid and –ail

• We had a Spelling Quiz on the old spellings – appear, heard, naughty, enough, promise, through

• We looked at the new spellings – knew, know, knee, knife, knock, gnaw, gnat, gnome

At home:

Practise the new spellings.

Remember to try to read at least 4 times at home each week.
