🌟 Weekly Round-Up: A Buzzing Week in Year 3! 🌟
This week in Year 3, we’ve been busy bees, diving into exciting learning across all our subjects. The classroom has been full of curiosity, creativity, and a whole lot of brilliant thinking!
📝 English: Getting to Know Barney
In English, we’ve been sharpening our grammar skills by identifying proper nouns and pronouns—and learning how to use them confidently in our writing. These new skills were put to great use as we wrote about Barney, our focus character for the week. The class impressed me with their imagination and thoughtful sentence work. Grammar never looked so creative!
🦷 Science: Mouths, Teeth & Saliva—Oh My!
Our budding scientists explored the important role of teeth and discovered just how amazing saliva is in the digestion process. There were lots of wide eyes and surprised faces as we learned how our mouths are the first step in breaking down food. Who knew chewing could be so scientific?
🏺 History: Digging into the Past
In History, we travelled back in time to investigate one of the oldest skeletons ever discovered. The children were fascinated by how archaeologists work like detectives, using clues to imagine what ancient humans looked like and how they lived. It was a wonderful mix of curiosity and critical thinking!
➕➖ Maths: Confident with 10s and 100s
In Maths, I was absolutely blown away by everyone’s hard work and perseverance. We tackled the challenge of adding and subtracting 10 and 100 from a range of numbers. The progress we’ve seen this week has been amazing—confidence is growing, and so is our love for numbers. Well done, Year 3!
🏊♂️ Swimming: Making a Splash
We rounded off the week with another fun-filled swimming session. It's such a joy to see everyone becoming more confident in the water. There were so many proud moments—big smiles, brave swimmers, and lots of splashes!
As always, I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together this week. Let’s keep the momentum going and see where next week’s learning takes us.
Keep up the hard work, Year 3—you’re doing amazing!
