Year 3 Blog 2025/26

 Year 3 revised the previous weeks work by complete ink a sticky knowledge activity. The then practised saying numbers from 1-10 in French. They started off by playing a game to practise:un,deux, trois. Then moving on to listening and singing the numbers. They then completed a matching activity, some children also completed a number crossword. 

 This week we were really lucky to welcome author PG Bell into school as part of the Isle of Wight Literary festival. He came to talk to us about his new book Big Bad Wolf murder in which the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood is murdered in a football stadium! He told us all about where he gets all his inspiration from and helped us to think of our own ideas for a fairytale murder mystery! 

 This half term in phonics we have been thinking about using our phonics to help with our spelling. We have been recapping our phonics sounds and thinking about spelling words with these sounds in. This week we have been recapping the air sounds and the ear sounds. 

 In English this week we have been starting to look at out final piece of writing .we designed and thought about our own “place between” drawing a picture of it and then using expanded noun phrases to describe it. We will use our drawings to do some more writing later this week. 

 We welcomed in Chelsea and Harriet for the Mental Health Support Team today and they talked to us about wellbeing. We talked about different emotions and which ones feel nice and which ones feel horrible. We then talked about things we can do to make ourselves feel better such as connect with people, get active or learn something new. 

 Year 3 enjoyed Re day this week. We thought about the idea of messages firstly thinking about what messages are and how they can be delivered. We then thought about the messages that Jesus gave through his stories, we looked at the story of the lost sheep and the Good Samaritan and thought about how his messages are still relevant today. Finally we thought about what messages we would like to give to the world and designed posters to share our message.
