A little update 30th September 2020

Good evening everyone!
I just thought I'd post a little message to you all to say 'hallo' again and to let you know what we have been doing. We are continuing to have a great time together in our year 3 bubble. We have had great fun in science; we have become quite skilled scientists! We've been conducting investigations on our rocks and have learnt lots about their physical properties. We've investigated density, durability and even looked at how porous they are and whether they react to vinegar!! We've had great fun!! We have even created amazing sculptures with them.
Our 'happy jars' are progressing well; we will be bringing these home when we have finished them. Each will be filled with positive comments about us and decorated as per our designs. I hope they bring many happy emotions for the children as we continue through this wonderful pandemic!!
I understand many of you have had difficulty accessing the activity I put on 'Teams' last week; I have had a look and sorted the problem so hopefully you should be able to access the activity!!
We are currently working hard on times tables as I feel many of the children are forgetting these. Please could you continue to help your child learn the 2 and 5x tables (believe it or not, many have forgotten them). We have a 'times tables challenge' in class and award a sticker to the chart whenever the children have learnt one. They need to be able to recite the times table and know them randomly too; this seems to be proving tricky!! We aim to know times tables up to at least 8 x tables by the end of year 3!
I haven't been putting homework on the blog up until this week as I have wanted to give the children time to settle into year 3 without feeling overworked at home. I have asked them all, however, to continue reading to you every day and to learn these times tables. I will begin adding homework each Friday to the blog from this week; keep an eye out on Friday!!
Here are just a few of our photos.....
Have a lovely week! I'll be in touch on Friday.
See you soon,
Mrs Matthews
