Year 3 Blog- Summer 1 Term

Welcome to the Year 3 blog.
 
Please find details here of all the wonderful things that we will be learning in class. We will add photos of the children as the term progresses.
 
Important information will still be sent home via email.
 
We will also include a separate page for our weekly spellings.
Times Tables Rock Stars
 
A HUGE well done to all those children using TTRS outside of school. 
 
This term, we will be focusing on the eight times tables, as well as continuing to practise the three and four times tables. Please keep supporting your child with this.
 
Children, how many coins can you earn this term? Can you beat last terms score?
Farm to Fork!
 
Thank you so much to Chloe and Rebecca who came into school to tell us all about how Iceberg Lettuces are grown at G's Growers Ltd. We had a chance to see how much preparation and time goes in to growing these crops. 
Everyone planted a lettuce and will be bringing it home with a set of instructions on how to look after it.  Make sure you send some photos of your lettuces into school once they are fully grown, and let us know how they taste!
Sowing Seeds
 
This afternoon, Year 3 enjoyed an outdoor nature session with Mr Poli and his Year 4/5 class. Every child got to sow a carrot and beetroot seed, in a pre-prepared garden planter.
We are all keeping our fingers crossed that the seeds germinate before the end of the academic year, so we can harvest and eat our crop.

Parts of a Plant

Year 3 spent part of the morning dissecting a Tulip. They had to separate the flower into its different parts, then place each part under the correct heading.
