WELCOME TO YEAR 3 2025-26

Another busy week for Year 3 at Bexton this week! We have been so pleased with the children's attitude to learn both in and outside the classroom! 

In our English lessons, we have started to study the book 'The Street Beneath my Feet' which ties beautifully into our learning in science on rocks, fossils and soils and the children have started to write an explanation text (non-fiction piece of writing). To inspire their learning, the children took part in a music lesson to write their own song building on their existing scientific knowledge. We were blown away by their performances! In maths, the children have started the unit on 'Length and Perimeter' focusing this week on the difference between millimetres, centimetres and metres. In history, we have continued to look at the Romans focusing on Hadrian’s Wall and why and how the Roman soldiers decided to build this structure. In science, the children have planned a soil experiment in preparation for the investigation next week. 

Homework this week will be English. We would like you to support your child in completing pages 58 and 59, which focuses on direct speech. 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😊
