Internal Visit from Benjamin Franklin House - Thursday, 15th May
The Human Body – Pupils learn about the history of the bones that were discovered in the Benjamin Franklin House basement and their role in the history of medicine. Pupils will focus on the human skeleton to successfully identify the major bones of the body. To consolidate their learning, each pupil will then create their own diagram of the human skeleton to take home or go on display in the classroom!
PE - Tuesdays with Morris and Wednesdays with Class Teacher
Homework - Due in on the 23.04.2025
Maths:
In Maths, we improved our practise on column subtraction with exchanges. We tackled subtracting 2-digit numbers from 3-digit numbers! This week Year 3 really worked on their explanation of how to solve equations and how we got to an answer. We are definitely starting to sound like mathematicians!
English:
In English, we began a new text, ‘The Street Beneath My Feet’. This is an explanation text all about what we may find underground within all the layers. We also explored what an explanation text is and looked closely at how this can be set out ready to write next week.
PATHS:
This week, both year 3 classes explored feelings of ‘confused, bored and confident. We shared stories on different times where we felt these feelings and discussed how we can help each other when some of our peers feel confused. It was wonderful to hear everyone's thoughts.

National Multiplication Tables Check
The multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for all Year 4 pupils in England.
The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.
The following website is a great tool to help children get used to the layout and timings of the test: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
