Year 3
With Miss McKee & Mr Connolly
Hello Year 3s!
Welcome to our class page.
Welcome back Year 3s! We hope you have had a lovely Easter holiday and lovely Eid celebrations and you are full of energy for this half term.
In our English work we will be reading a journey tale called Nail Soup and learning to recite it aloud. We will read several other similar tales. Then we will look at the features and write one of our own. We will also continue to work on grammar and punctuation. Remember to hear your child read a few pages of their home reading book each night and write this into their record books. They can also read on MyON (see the link lower down on this page).
In Maths we are continuing to develop our place value skills and then move on to addition and subtraction calculations. We will also be recapping telling the time and looking at a range of measures. We be practising our 2s, 3s,4s, 5s and 10 times tables and continuing to learn our 8s. We will be trying hard to speed up our mental maths work.
Our Science work is all about investigation skills and we will be measuring, comparing and discussing our results. We are also waiting for a sunny, dry day to complete some of our Light and Dark work!
In History we will be finding out all about the Ancient Egyptians which is a really interesting topic and we would encourage everyone to visit Blackburn Museum to see their Mummy in their Egyptian Room. This is one of our homework tasks. On Saturdays the mUseum is open from 11am until 4.45pm.
Our PE day is THURSDAY. Please remember to come to school in your PE kit. Our PE uniform is white t-shirt, black jogging bottoms/leggings, socks, trainers and your school jumper.
Please bring a coat and a jumper to school everyday.
If you wear glasses please bring them to school every day.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle back in to school. You can keep this in class and we will refill it every day. We often need a refreshing drink of water after a busy playtime. We'll send them home at the end of each half term.
Please read your home reader EVERY NIGHT and ask an adult to write down the pages you have read.
Bring your books into school on a Tuesday and Friday to be changed.
You must bring your book EVERY Friday if you are reading a phonics books.
Remember to keep working hard and always try your best.
Take care and stay safe.

Weekly Spellings
Here are the spelling lists .
There are 3 levels of spellings and your child will know which set of words they are learning. (Underneath the weekly spellings are the long lists for each year group so that you can practise any other individual words that your child has difficulty with.)
Please help your child to learn their spellings during the week.
They could try LOOK -SAY -COVER- WRITE- CHECK.
LOOK at the word. SAY it. COVER it. WRITE it from memory. Then CHECK to see if they were right.
Spelling homework will be tested every Friday. Please help them to practise. Thank you.
Home Reading
Reading is the key to all of your learning in Year 3 and throughout your life! Let's get practising!!
You can access MYON to choose books from the virtual library.
You will need your login details to access this.
If you need a reminder about your MyON user name and password click on the arrow
In MyOn, your user name is the first initial of your first name and 4 letters of your surname. Your password is abc.
So Mickey Mouse would be username mmous
password abc
Email us if you are struggling to find your way in.
Keep practising your reading every day to improve your skills.
Choose a book on MyOn on the link at the bottom of the page. Read it. Once you feel confident on it, find the quiz for that book on MyOn and answer the questions about it. Remember, you can only do the quiz for each book once, so if you don't feel confident, re-read the book before you complete the quiz.
Keep checking your own progress and how many minutes you have read for. Try to beat your score each week!
Don't forget to use IDL to practise your English skills too.
