Year 3 Friday Blog - 27/03/26

Date: 26th Mar 2026 @ 8:14am

Dear parents,

Welcome to the Year 3 Friday blog!

Each week you will find out what we have been doing in class, weekly spellings and times tables and lots more.

Homework

Reading - Reading is one of the most important skills for children to master as it unlocks their imagination and allows them to access the rest of the curriculum. Please read with your child every night. Remember to ask questions as this will improve key reading skills, such as retrieval and inference. Children should also have their school reading books in school every day so that an adult can read with them.

Spellings - Although there are no spellings to learn over Easter, there are still lots of useful games on Spelling Shed to practise spelling rules we have already learned as well as rules we will learn in the summer term.

Times tables - Times tables are a vital skill, which will be used throughout the year and through the rest of the childrens school journeys and lives. In order to prepare every child as well as we can, we ask that children log in to times table rockstars as many days as possible each week. On there, the children can practise all of their times tables by playing different games.

Our learning this week in Year 3

English

This week, we have been writing our stone age information leaflets. These can now be used to remind us of what we have learned about the stone age and teach other people.

Maths

This week, we have been learning how to tell the time.

Can you remember the steps we have learned and follow them to tell the time on this clock?

RE

This week, we have been considering a big question in RE: Why do Christians call the day Jesus died ‘Good Friday’?

On Wednesday, we looked at these different crosses that might be seen in churches during holy week. Can you remember which cross represents which day?
