Our focus in Spring 1 will be; writing to entertain. We will continue to focus on having high expectations of handwriting, spelling and correct use of grammatical rules that we have learned during our Spelling and Grammar lessons. We will be learning how to use direct speech, similes and a range of punctuation to really entertain and engage our reader. We will then use these skills to write our own narrative based on the story of Emily Brown. Maths In the Multiplication and Division B section of Year 3 White Rose Maths, children build on their understanding of times tables and begin applying these skills in practical and problem-solving contexts. They’ll deepen their knowledge of the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10 times tables, using them to solve real-world problems and develop confidence in fluency.Children will explore the relationship between multiplication and division, learning how to use one operation to check the other. They’ll also practice multiplying two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers using a range of strategies, such as partitioning. Through engaging activities, children will work on grouping, sharing, and interpreting remainders in division. Problem-solving tasks encourage critical thinking and logical reasoning, while varied representations (like arrays, bar models, and number lines) help children visualize concepts. By the end of this unit, children will have a stronger foundation in understanding and applying multiplication and division confidently. Please continue to dedicate as much time to TTRS at home as you can. It really compliments our learning and children that spend 15 minutes or more using it, stand out in maths lessons. So, please keep up with 15 minutes of multiplication practise each week. It really does make a difference! |
