Year 3
Week beginning 3rd March
What a lovely first week back we had. The children were thrown straight into our new unit on the Romans. They were lucky enough to have a lesson taught by Mr Brown where he introduced them to who the Romans were, how they changed Britain and his pictures from when he visited Pompeii.
Reminder - Thursday 6th is World Book Day.
Worship theme - LENT/ Temptation
Mark 1:13 And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.

English - We will be writing our reports about the events of Pompeii
Maths - We will be continuing our unit on fractions and specifically looking at fractions on a number line
History - To understand the timeline of the Roman invasion of Britain.

Spelling words of the week:
Please look below for our termly spelling overview.
Homework:
Please note that this term's project homework is at the bottom of the page.
The children will receive their homework sheets this week. Please choose at least two tasks to complete over the course of our project. The children are welcome to complete more if they wish. We look forward to seeing what they produce in our homework museum.
We also encourage children to practice our weekly spellings at home as well as the Y3/4 common exception words.
Reading:
We would love to see Year 3 using their extra time at home to read some brilliant books. If children read three times at home, they get a raffle ticket. Please therefore keep a quick record in reading logs – your children can write the title in to help! We would also like to encourage children to bring their reading records into school everyday.
