Welcome to Class 3’s latest blog.
Guess what we have been up to this week? Let’s start with amazing maths. We have learned how master multiplication using the short multiplication method. Lots of mmmm’s!
In literacy, poetry is still the order of the day. We are in the process of writing some of our own.
In geography we have studied hurricanes. We have learnt about the different plates all around the earth. We are lucky that most other natural disasters, such as tornados, hurricanes and major earthquakes don’t happen often in our country.
We are well on our way with our pantomime (oh no we're not!). The children are learning their lines well. Keep on it!
In PE we had a fantastic dancey time bopping along to It's a hard knock life. We would all have received maximum marks on Strictly; even from Craig R-H!
Have a wonderful and safe weekend and see you all on Monday.

Well done this week. We have nearly finished reading our wonderful classic - The Enchanted Wood. I can't wait to find out what we will be reading next. We always have a democratic vote for our class read, so watch this space!
In Literacy, we have been learning about poetry. We have learnt two poem by hear, used our best handwriting to copy and illustrate them. Amazing class 3. Here are the 2 poems:
In Maths we have moved onto fractions. Your little faces looked so worried on Monday morning, but by lunchtime you were loving our fractions work! Well done.
Our Natural Disasters topic in Geography has begun with our work on volcanoes. You created some diagrams of how the inside of a volcano looks. These were clear and well labelled.
Friday brought lots of spots to Netherthong! We had spotty faces, spotty t-shirts, spotty tights, spotty ears! You name it we had spots. We also held a bun sale. Well done for raising lots of ,money for Children in Need.
Have a wonderful weekend. Keep safe and see you on Monday.

Welcome back to class 3. We have all come back into school with the most amazing attitudes to work.
We have been working on addition and subtraction in Maths and you have really challenged yourselves to have a go. We looked at exchange in subtraction which was a little tricky! But, you all supported each other and were great mathematicians.
In Literacy, we have been reading as a whole class. You used funny voices, echo reading, paired reading and reading aloud to the whole class. That is amazing!
Our writing has also been super recently. I challenged you today to use beautiful handwriting, and for some of you to use joined up! WOW! You all were a little worried, but totally rose to the challenge and every single person in class used the best handwriting that I have seen this year! Let's hope that it continues going forward.
We are also still reading The Enchanted Wood. The children are really enjoying this. Such an old classic and my favourite from my childhood!
We have begun our new topics in Science (Forces and Magnets - Poles Apart) and Geography, which is all about Natural Disasters. We learnt about Cop 29, which will take place next week. We have designed new inventions to help save our plant.
In PE, we have been creating a dance and you have all been utterly amazing at this. I can't wait for the finished dance.
Have an amazing weekend.

Well, what an amazing first half term we have had. It has been so wonderful getting to know you all. You have all worked so hard and helped to look after each other, and the grown ups! Thank you. Next half term will be an exciting one, with all sorts to look forward to,
You have all enjoyed our topics in History, Art and Science. I can't wait to teach you lots about the next topics!
You have particularly enjoyed our book - The Iron Man. I know you loved what happened with Hogarth and the Iron Man - not to mention The Space Bat Angel Dragon! You will have to look out for the Iron woman on the library shelves!
Today has been a fun day. We all managed to get outside and we have all planted the bulbs. We wondered if we would be able to see them from space in the spring? I would also like to say a huge thank you for you wonderful donations of bulbs. What a supportive group you all are. Thank you.
The way that you have tackled everything that I have thrown your way has really impressed me, and I am sure that you will just continue to thrive and learn through out the rest of the year.
Have a wonderful half term holiday, enjoy Halloween and we will see you all back, safe and sound in November.

Well done this week. What a glorious Autumn week it has been, lovely sunshine and a harvest moon to end the week!
You have all been working hard in Literacy, writing your own Iron Man story. So far we have a Copper Man, A Teddy Man and a sports robot. The children are in the process of writing an adventure story for their new character. I can't wait to read your finished stories next week.
In maths, we have used the laptops to make 2D shapes on geoboards, which was lots of fun; we have also used geoboard in real life to make 2D shapes. We have looked at 3D shapes and some of their properties, and used a net to create a cube and cuboid. You are great at the technical vocabulary linked to shapes. Well done.
In History, we have investigated the Iron Age and the Celts a little. We discovered the wonderful art work that the Celts created, that you can still see today in silver and gold jewellery. We learnt how it links back to the Ancient Greeks - Wow! We even learn how to draw a Celtic knot. This is not easy!
Have a great weekend. Be good, be safe and be careful
