It was so lovely to welcome the children into Year 3 this morning! They settled down quickly and will soon get to grips with the new routine in Key Stage 2. Mrs Sanders and I are looking forward to getting to know them all in the weeks to come.
Our Big Writing this Friday will be a character description of Bob, the Man in the Moon, from the book of the same name by Simon Bartram.
You can watch a clip of the story online here.
It would be helpful if you could discuss the following with your child in preparation for Big Writing...
1) This week’s word of the week is glistening.
2) How to use WOW words to enhance description
3) How to use adverbial openers such as fascinatingly, interestingly and amazingly.
Any work brought from home can be used in Big Writing on Friday.
Spelling Tests
Your child will soon be bringing home weekly spellings which they will need to learn for a spelling test every Thursday. Since all the children are at different stages, they will have individual spellings to learn, so it will not be possible for me to put the spellings on this blog. If weekly spellings are mislaid, please just let me or Mrs Sanders know and we will let you have fresh ones.
Big Maths
We have started our weekly 'Big Maths' again, and children will begin practising the times tables for Year 3 - the 3x, 4x and 8x tables, as well as consolidating those learnt in Years 1 and 2 (the 2x, 5x and 10x tables). Children may like to practise these at home using the TT Rockstars website: their login details will be the same as in previous years, but if you need a note of them please just let me know.
