WELCOME TO YEAR 3 2025-26

We have had a very productive and enjoyable week at school this week! 

In our English lessons this week, we have continued to study the book 'Escape from Pompeii' and have used our knowledge of past tense verbs to write a narrative about the lead characters Tranio and Livia. In maths, the children have been continuing to develop their skills in multiplication and division. We have focused particularly on multiplying a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number and identified the crucial link between multiplication and division. In the wider curriculum, we have looked at the role of Julius Ceasar in Roman history and in art we have created a Andy Warhol 'pop art' replica of Mount Vesuvius with contrasting colours using our watercolour trays.

Homework this week will be Maths. We would like you to support your child in completing pages 45, 46 and the extra challenge on page 47, which focuses on multiplication and the relationship this has to division. Please hand back in to school by next Tuesday. Continue to use TTRockstars (especially the 3, 4 and 8 times tables) and Spelling shed to practise times tables and spellings as often as possible and please also ensure that your child reads each night.

Many thanks,

Miss Nuttall and Mrs Yardley x😊
