Year 3 Weekly Update

 

Weekly Review - Week Beginning - 22.04.2024

Dear parents and guardians,

Welcome back to the Summer term and we hope you all had an exciting Easter. We can't believe it's already the end of week 2. Please see our weekly update for this week. 

Maths:

In Maths, we are continuing with our unit - all about fractions! We have been working on identifying unit fractions and fractions that are equivalent to 1 whole. We now know that an unit fraction has a numerator of 1 (i.e. 1/5, 1/10 and 1/35) and we know that a fraction that is equivalent to one whole has an equal numerator and denominator (i.e. 5/5, 10/10 and 35/35).

Types of Fractions: Proper, Improper, Fractions Equal to One

English:

Last week, we started a brand new unit centred on our new text ‘The Street Beneath My Feet’. We have finished our ‘immersion’ phase and we have been working on our ‘sentence stacking’ phase. We have been identifying alliterations, questions, adjectives, repetition in the original text and though of our own versions.

Science:

Last week we started our new Science topic which is ‘Changing Our World.’ Last week we looked at the features of a leaf before drawing our own leaf and tree in the playground. This week, we learned about how seeds from trees are dispersed and what the different types of seeds are.
