Year 3 - Wrens
Shared Reading with Foxes
On Monday we went down to Year 1 Foxes and did some shared reading which we really enjoyed.
Welcome back!
I hope you all had a wonderful break.
We are kickstarting our new term with our final Whole Class Reading Text
'The Land of Roar' by Jenny McLachlan
Production!
A big well done to Wrens for being such fantastic pirates in our school production 'Pirates Vs Mermaids'! You all worked so hard to learn the songs and then perform them with such enthusiasm. Thank you so much to parents for all your support! ARRRRRRRR!!

Comic Relief
Well done to everyone for getting involved in Comic Relief on Friday. It was great seeing all of the children dressed in red. We had lots of donations, thank you for your generosity!
World Book Day
Yesterday was World Book Day and the children brought in their projects from home: a recreation of a book!
Class Trip to the Cathedral
This week started with our trip to St Alban's Cathedral!
We used maps and compasses to navigate our way through the cathedral and learned some interesting historical facts too.
Friday 9th February
In science we have been investigating forces and magnets.
Today we discovered that magnets have poles, and North and South poles attract to each other!
Friday 26th January
It's been great to see so many of you getting stuck in with the reading challenge, well done!
In D&T this week we learned two techniques for chopping vegetables, the 'bridge' and 'claw'.
Friday 19th January
This week we have been exploring perimeter of different shapes. On Tuesday we used 5 rectangles measuring 5x2cm to create a shape with a perimeter of 42cm. There was lots of trial and error but we enjoyed the challenge!
Friday 12th January 2024
In Maths we have been exploring perimeter of rectangles, we measured our books, tables and even the MUGA. We have also been creating rectangles with pencils and working out the perimeter. 
We also started reading our new Whole Class Reading text:

Happy new year and welcome back to Spring Term. In Maths we have been exploring the properties of regular and irregular polygons.

Here is one of our freeze frames based on a page from the book.

Welcome to our class page. We have had a fun filled first week and I am super impressed by how well everyone is settling into Year 3. In Maths, we have been using different equipment to represent 3-digit numbers and have started looking at Stone Age Boy in English lessons.
