Internal Visit from Benjamin Franklin House - Thursday, 15th May
The Human Body – Pupils learn about the history of the bones that were discovered in the Benjamin Franklin House basement and their role in the history of medicine. Pupils will focus on the human skeleton to successfully identify the major bones of the body. To consolidate their learning, each pupil will then create their own diagram of the human skeleton to take home or go on display in the classroom!
PE - Tuesdays with Morris and Wednesdays with Class Teacher
Homework - Due in on the 26.03.2025
Maths:
This week in Maths we secured our knowledge of the 2, 4 and 8 times tables - finding links between them. Year 3 were able to match up equations with the equivalent calculations, for example we know that 6 x 8 is equivalent to 6 x 4 x 2. We then moved onto division equations relating to the 2, 4 and 8 times tables and explained what we noticed.
English:
In English this week, we began our independent phase . We wrote some wonderful instructions on either ‘How to grow a stronger mind’, ‘Getting a new teacher’ and ‘Moving to a new year group’. As a class we went through our plans and it was great to hear everyone's ideas on what types of time conjunctions, imperative verbs and other writing tools we were going to use. We then read out our lovely instructions and gave some very constructive feedback to each other.
PATHS:
This week, we looked at some new feelings, these were curious/interested, confused and confident. Year 3 were able to express times when they felt curious/interested, confused and confident. We discussed what we could do to help us build our confidence and agreed that it is okay to feel confused at times as everyone goes through this feeling.

National Multiplication Tables Check
The multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for all Year 4 pupils in England.
The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.
The following website is a great tool to help children get used to the layout and timings of the test: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
