21.09.20 Weekly Spellings

ir/ er/ ur

 

For the first half term, we are aiming to really secure pupils' 

understanding of spelling decodable words.

Decodable words are words that pupils can use their phonics to

 segment (sound out) and blend (put together)  to 

support their spellings. 

 

In class, we use the following steps when spelling words. 


                                     SPELLINGS FOR THIS WEEK




The Power of Reading

What an amazing start to the week!

Today we watched 9-year-old Luke deliver a TedTalk on ‘The Power of Reading’. 


Watch the video with your child and discuss their thoughts to join in our class discussion.

 



 

Our children were so inspired by Luke that they stood up to give their own inspirational speech on why reading is so powerful!

Origami Heart

Welcome to our wonderful new Year 3’s!

What a fantastic first day we have had with you all!

We have ‘Dough Discoed’, started to make new friends and explore our new classroom during ‘Connection Time’ and this afternoon, we created origami hearts to show our loved ones at home that we were thinking of them. We used the book 'The Invisible String' to talk to the children about leaving people who we love. Read the book here.

Tonight, we have sent the children home with another sheet of origami paper to share their new skills. Create a new heart with your child and send them to school with it tomorrow so that they can keep your heart close to theirs.

 

Watch Miss Robinson’s video to make your own with your child! We can’t wait to see them.
