WELCOME TO YEAR 3 2025-26

Week 4! We have been busy at Bexton this week immersing ourselves into our learning for the Summer Term. 

This week in English, the children have now completed persuasive letter based on 'The Great Kapok Tree' to encourage the woodcutters to stop deforestation. Next week, we will begin to explore and write an autobiography based on Sir David Attenbotough to mark his incredible 100 years! In maths, we have now finished 'Fractions Part B' looking at how to find fractions of amounts using bar models. In Geography, we have conttined to look at rainforests, this week focusing on the Amazon Rainforest and the different layers (emergent, canopy, understory and forest floor) and the animals that inhabit each area. We were lucky enough to have the opporyunity to visit Chester Zoo this week to consolidate the childrens learning on rainforests and be able to see some of the species and their habitats in real life. 

Homework this week will be English. We ask the children complete pages 94 and 95 on homophomnes. 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,

Mrs Yardley-Goldrick and Miss Nuttall x😊
