Class 3
Week ending 22.11.19
admin on: Class 3
Good afternoon Year 3!
Just a quick message to let you know our spellings for this week! We have been working extremely hard on 'telling the time' this week! We are all exhausted!!! Please can you support you child in learning to read the time on an analogue clock to the nearest 5 minutes and then to the nearest minute. We have had our clock moved in the classroom to allow the children a great view of the Year 3 clock and they tell me the time at least 10 times a day!! We'll get there!! This week we will have a look at digital clocks too but they definitely do need to keep practising analogue clocks too (ie 5 to 6, 20 past 4 etc).
Here are our spellings this week;
address
lighter
brighter
lied
spied
tried
wrong
wrap
wrist
tough
(Please note, if your child does not have this list in his/her planner it means they will need to learn the other list in their planner instead and will work on these in class).
Once again, I have highlighted a number of 'Mathletics' activities to work on; thank you so much for all the hard work on these tasks. We did so much better this week!! If your child is unable to access 'Mathletics' do let me know as I can send some Maths home (one or two children are given maths tasks to take home as an alternative.
We are working on the 6 times tables this week, but please continue practising the 3, 4 and 8 times tables as we will be focusing on multiplication and division shortly and hence knowledge of these will help a great deal.
Thank you so much for your continued support,
Mrs Matthews
Homework this week w/c 18.11.19
admin on: Class 3
Hello everyone!
The children are working exceptionally hard on reading the time to the nearest minute at the moment; not the easiest topic to grasp!! We've been consolidating previous learning reading the time to the nearest 5 minutes, but are now moving on to try to the nearest minute too. Any practice telling the time on an analogue clock would be so useful!! I've highlighted 4 activities on Mathletics surrounding telling the time. Please don't try and complete all four by Friday, but as much practice as possible would be great!
Spellings are as follows;
played
stayed
build
built
tapped
clapped
fearful
cheerful
enough
We are also working on the 6 x tables in maths this week, so any practice would be great!
Thanks so much
Mrs Matthews

10.11.19 Homework
admin on: Class 3
Good evening!
The children had a very busy day on Friday; not only did they have their first netball session and a very exciting science lesson, they had a great time taking part in the 'Sports Hall Athletics' event at Holmfirth High School. They children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in both track and field events, competing against other schools in the area. Well done to all the children!
For spellings this week we have focused on the prefixes 'super', 'sub' and 'anti';
submerge
submarine
subheading
supermarket
superman
superstar
antisocial
antiseptic
anticlockwise
I've also highlighted 2 'Mathletics' activities I'd like the children to try- they're both involving subtraction. The children will need to use a piece of paper to work out some of the answers (using the same method we have practised in class). Please do encourage your child to have a go at any other activities too. Good luck!
Thanks so much once again,
Mrs Matthews
Our last week of Autumn 1 (27.10.19)
admin on: Class 3
Dear all,
What a fabulous week we have all had this week! We've been learning all about how the Passover is celebrated in Jewish families just recently and thanks to Vigo's Mum deepened our learning further last week. This week the children have made their very own matzah (flat bread) and thoroughly enjoyed tasting it along with grape juice. Thank you Mrs Pearce for your super culinary skills!
Our trip to the Stone Age village at Murton Park was a fabulous end to our week; the children were fabulous all day and didn't complain once about the poor weather in the afternoon. They made clay beaker pots, farmed, hunted, made flour and enjoyed examining so many amazing Stone Age artefacts. What a wonderful day! When we return to school I will add some photos of our visit to the blog.
The latest spellings are in your child's planner (dated 23.10.19)- we will be having our test on the first Friday back. Please encourage your child to have a go at the addition and subtraction activities on 'Mathletics' too. This will help consolidate our recent learning in Maths.
Thanks so much for all your support,
Mrs Matthews
