Halloween Rainbow Poems

Today, we continued writing some poetry. As part of our lesson about similes, the children wrote using the colours of the rainbow as part of their inspiration. Below are poems by Sian and Matilda, who chose to add a Halloween theme to their work.

A Rainbow Is…

As red as a strawberry, nice and juicy 

As orange as a goldfish, breathing in the water 

As yellow as a pot of gold, underneath this rainbow

As green as a pear, hanging on a tree

As blue as some water, in the bathroom sink 

As purple as a plum, ripe and bright 

by Oliver B.

Loop Cards & Place Value

This is Not My Hat

Today, we read 'This is Not My Hat' by Jon Klassen. The ending of the book has three pages of pictures and no words. We had a go at writing how we imagine the story ended. 

These were written by Aleena and Liliya.

Autumn Home Learning Information for Year Three

This coming year, the home learning expectations are as follows:

Each week, there will be times table practice and either a written consolidation or My Maths task set. (30 minutes) Each Monday, the children will take part in a times table test.

In school, we have a weekly focus on a spelling rule. A list of spellings to learn that follow the week's rule will be provided. (20 minutes) Class teachers will test each week's spelling list on a Thursday.

Children should read with an adult at least three times a week at home. Where possible, this could be every day. Renaissance Home Connect enables parents to see information about your child's progress within Accelerated Reader. Reading Diaries will be checked weekly by class teachers.

This home learning will be set on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday. Home learning will begin on Thursday 13th September.
