Welcome back and a Happy New Year to you all!
This term, we are trialing something new whereby we share what Year 3 will be learning about in English and Math each week. This information will be posted on the blog and will allow you to keep up-to-date with what your child is being taught within the core subjects on a weekly basis.

English
This week, the children are writing two diary extracts based on the book 'Owl Bat, Bat Owl'. Within their diary entries, we are looking for the following features:
- First person- To write in first person, the children should be using personal pronouns such as I, me, my, our, we.
- Past tense- The children should be beginning to recognise how to change both regular and irregular words into the past tense. This is touched upon in their spellings.
- Fronted adverbials, predominantly adverbs of time such as 'in the morning', 'yesterday', 'before long'. A comma should follow a fronted adverbial.
- Emotive language- This is language that expresses the writer's feelings/ emotions, e.g. My blood ran cold.
Each of these features have been taught to the children in previous lessons and will be touched upon again this week.
Maths
The focus this week is in math is place value. We will be looking at the following areas during the week:
- Using the symbols greater than (>) and less than (<) to compare to 3-digit numbers.
- Ordering 3-digit numbers from smallest to largest and vise versa.
- Recognising the value of each digit in a 3-digit number and partitioning, e.g.355= 300 + 50 + 5
We hope this proves helpful.
