Literacy – We are all brilliant describers now.  Make a poster to show your 10 most favourite describing words.  Next week we are going to be planning and writing our own story set in our familiar settings around school.  What settings could we use? 

 Phonics- This weekend see if you can read and write all the red and green words out of 5 books.  Get someone to test you at home.

Don’t forget to read everyday, bring your book in to change and keep learning your spellings.  

Numeracy –Wow we have worked really hard this week using arrays to solve tricky multiplication questions.  Did you solve your goal question?  Can you answer these? 7 x 6=      8 x 4 =   11 x 6=       7 x9 =       12 x 5 =    6 x 5 =     Challenge question: 13 x 9

Next week we are doing a bit more multiplying then we are going to be moving on to data handling.  Data handling means organising information.  Think about the tallying, pictograms and bar charts you did in Year 2.   Have a look at some different pictograms and bar charts this weekend.  What are they used for?

Next week is a really busy week in Year 3.  On Monday we are going to the Gurdwara to learn about Sikhism and how Sikhs celebrate Divali.  Remember it’s a normal school day and you are having your dinners as normal.  3S are going at 9.30 until 11.00 and 3D are going at 11.15 until 12.40. 

On Thursday it’s our Divali Assembly starting at 2.30pm in the hall. We would love for your family to come and see you perform. Next week we are going to be getting ready for our assembly.  What can you find out about Divali?

Next week we are going to be looking at traditional Asian Clothing.  We would love you to bring in an outfit to share and wear for our assembly. Bring it in a bag on Tuesday please.

Remember your indoor and outdoor PE kits and your Ukuleles ready for next week.
