Spellings 14.11.25
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Hi everyone! Sorry not to see all the children today and to finish the week off as planned! I'm just sending a message regarding spellings as they of course were missed today - next week's spellings are below to practise; I appreciate that some of you may not be able to print a paper copy so I'm happy to accept spelling homework next week in whatever format you can manage! If you have any issues, please let Mrs Moleele know on Monday. Hope you have a lovely weekend - and hope this rain clears up! Fingers crossed school will be back open on Monday.
First Week Back!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Welcome to Autumn 2! It's been a super busy first week back - we've been learning about light and dark in science and whole class reading, beginning to learn about Diwali in RE, starting our polar bear non-chronological reports in writing and starting a special dance in PE ready for Children in Need! Looking forward to seeing lots of you at the bonfire tomorrow - stay safe and have fun!
Black History Month
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
We’ve had a great time learning about some amazing people during Black History Month. The children have got to know about the achievements of Matthew Henson, Simone Biles and Floella Benjamin. Perhaps they could tell you some of the things they remember over half term and why they are so significant! Have a lovely half term and see you back at school in November!
P.S There are no spellings over half term but I have set Mathletics as some practice of column subtraction would really support the children in class.
Spring is in the air!

In Year 3, we’re over Autumn and the cold weather that’s starting to creep in so we’ve brought some warmer feelings into class and written some figurative language poetry about Spring and Summer! Take a look at some verses below!
Please note, there is no spelling test next week due to the training day on Friday but there is a homework that’s gone home tonight testing a variety of this half term’s spellings, which is due on Thursday. Thanks!
Connections
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week in computing, we were learning about how computers connect to each other. First we considered how many computers must be in a network, then we thought about what it would be like to send messages across that network (really difficult and chaotic, we decided!) and then we learnt about ‘network switches’, which help keep track of the many computer messages and distribute then in a more organised manner. You can see from our pictures that it way a busy lesson with so many messages to send but we all had fun!
