Friday 1^st July

English- This week we have finished our story of James and the Giant peach! For your home learning this week I would like you to write a book review on the template I have provided. I look forward to reading your thoughts and opinions about the book.

Maths- This week I have allocated some games to do with perimeter and area on active learn. Remember you do not need to complete all of them; just have a go at the level you think is best for you. If you are unable to do your home learning at home; remember you can do it on a Tuesday or Wednesday lunch time in school.

We have had a busy week as we have had Sports Day at Wenhaston! This was a huge success and many of us received lots of stickers as well as a medal at the end of the day. We were very pleased with everyone as we worked hard to earn house points. A huge congratulations to Green Team who won the most on the day.

In class 3 this week we have been to Ilketshall school to do some out door learning with other Year 3 and 4 children in the local area. We were pond dipping, may pole dancing, orienteering, making mud art pictures and much more. Below are some of the photos of our day.

Friday 24^th June

English- In two week’s time we are going to be doing our end of year grammar test. This week’s home learning is for you to have a go at completing the James and the Giant Peach grammar challenge. Please come and speak to me if you have forgotten what a word means and I will go over it again in class.

Maths-We have been learning about perimeter this week. We work out perimeter by adding all the sides together. This week for our home learning we have several different rooms to find the perimeter of.

Week 2 of the Summer 2 term has been very exciting with an opportunity to cheer on the women in the Aviva World Tour Cycling race. The children made flags and we researched about the British team and the different coloured shirts to look out for before we went. Wednesday morning we then walked over the common and down a lane until we reached the cycle path and waited excitedly! It wasn't a boring wait as you may expect as there were police bikes and cars hooting their horns and waving to the children as they went past. It was a fantastic atmosphere and everyone there enjoyed it. The moment the bikes came down the lane, everyone was cheering and waving their flags. Moments later, it was all over as the bikes were travelling at some speed! Below are some photos we took.

Friday 17^th June

English- For your home learning this week I would like you to complete the punctuation sheet I have given you. Please come and ask before Thursday if you are stuck with the questions I have given you.

Maths- I have added some division and multiplication games for you to have a go at on active learn. You do not need to do all of them, choose the appropriate level for you. If you are unable to do your home learning at home I will be available to help you next Wednesday lunch time. (Wednesday 22^nd June) Good luck and have fun!

Our spelling patterns we have been learning this week have been the suffix: er and est

Welcome back and hope you had a happy half term. As promised, the photos we had taken when we went to Vicarage Grove as well as some photos from our learning this week. Look how tall our vegetables are growing for our 'Food for Thought' project!

Home Learning

Friday 10^th June

English- This week it has been the Queen’s birthday celebrations. We have had a day in school learning about the Queen and her family. I would like you to create a fact file about the Queen using the knowledge you have learnt this week. You may even be able to find some more facts about her.

Maths- I would like you to play the game we play in class with a dice. Roll the dice to create 5 multiplication questions. Work out the answers and then record in the inverse. (Division) For example: 5x7=35 so  35÷5=7 or 35÷7=5. You may also want to add a zero on to one of your dice answers to make it more challenging. E.g. 40 (instead of 4) x8= 320 so 320÷8=40. Record these calculations in your home learning book.

The last week of summer 1 term has been full of fun and hard work. I was very proud of our Wenhaston rounders team, who played against 6 other schools in the Year 3/4 rounders tournament final. Congratulations and well done to you all. This Friday was a lovely day as we went to Vicarage Grove again to look at the Bluebells and our bug hotel. Whilst we were there we used our sketch books to make observational drawings. Check out our photos below. (Photos coming soon!!!!)

Half Term Holiday

Friday 27^th May

There will be no set home learning over the holiday, but I would like you to carry on reading and also if you get a chance to practice your maths on active learn and looking at any big maths questions you struggle with on the weekly challenges. Remember to use your prompt sheets to help you.

Happy Holiday!

Another busy week for Class 3. We had a rounders competition against Edgar Sewter, Bramfield and Holton Primary schools. We did very well and won all 3 matches. We have the finals next Tuesday at Earsham Primary against all 6 schools in our pyramid.

In our maths lessons we have been using the computers to help us with our maths skills on active learn. We completed 'Trolley Dash' and 'Discount Shopping' problem solving. We have also been playing mental maths games this week in groups to help improve our rapid recall answers.

Friday 20^th May

Maths- Your home learning this week is on Active Learn. You do not need to play every game I have allocated you, but I would like you to at least complete one at the level you choose to complete. I will be doing my Tuesday lunch time club for anyone who cannot do their work at home.

English- We have been spending a lot of time in class focussing on spelling patterns to improve our spelling. I would like you to create a reminder poster for the classroom of these patterns and examples of words that follow them. Remember there are always some exceptions! This will be good revision for our end of term spelling assessment next week.

REMEMBER- i before e except after c, tion (Shun) endings become tious. (caution becomes cautious) Words with ce endings become cious. ( Space becomes spacious) double consonant is a double letter because the o is the sound rather than the name of the letter. (Hopping) cial and tial words follow this rule: cial after a vowel (facial) and tial after a consonant (essential)

Please come and ask if you need any help with these.
