Cricket
I saw this poster and I thought it would be a good opportunity for girls to play cricket in the winter.
It costs £15 to register but then there are no further payments. Essentially, it's £1 a session!
For Year 3 students, it would start at 09.30am and finish at 10.45am every Sunday, starting from Sunday, 17th November.,

Weekly Review
Maths:
This week, we finished the Composition and Calculation Unit by adding and subtracting a 2-digit multiple of ten to a number between 0 and 200. We used 200-rectangles to support us and we learned, instead of counting in single steps, we can move down one row to add ten or move up one row to subtract ten. On Thursday, we started the Measuring Unit. We used metre sticks to measure objects in the classroom that are 1m in length. We found that the Chromebook locker was exactly 100cm. It was lovely to see the students working practically!
  
(Please see more pictures below).
English:
In English, we planned our postcards and started writing them, independently. As a class, we wrote an example together and then had the opportunity to write our own versions. On Thursday, we focused on the greeting, opening message and the main body of the text before focusing on the ending, address and ‘postscriptum’ on Friday. We made sure to include ambitious vocabulary, conjunctions, contractions and expanded noun phrases. We also made a huge effort to work on our cursive handwriting.
Black History Month:
To celebrate Black History Month, we learned about Madam C.J. Walker. She was the first Black woman in America to become a millionaire on her own. She faced many challenges but she never let this stop her from achieving her goals! This week, Year 3 became entrepreneurs! We created our own business ideas just like Madam C.J. Walker. We had some amazing business ideas and either picked a service to offer to people or products to sell!

Optional Task (2 weeks): Due 23rd October 2024
This month is Black History Month! This is a special time when we learn about important people from the past and today who have made the world a better place. They have done amazing things like helping others, making new discoveries or standing up for what is right. It helps us celebrate and remember how everyone no matter where they come from can make a big difference in the world.
Year 3 will then focus on learning about Madam C.J. Walker. Before we explore all the fantastic things Madam C.J. Walker achieved, your task is to do some of your own research on her.
This could be notes, sentences, a poster about her etc.
Mr Downey and I can’t wait to read all your wonderful research!

3A Spotlight of the Week - Black History Month
3D Spotlight of the Week
Today, Year 3 started a new unit of Maths which was measuring. We used metre sticks to measure objects in the classroom that are 1m in length. We found that the Chromebook locker was exactly 100cm. We also measured items that were less than a metre (such as the computer monitor) and items longer than a metre (the classroom door). It was lovely to see the students working together practically!
