Daily Essentials.
Times Tables - Please practise your times tables focusing on improving the efficiency of your answers. The aim is for all children in Year 3 to know the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 times tables by the end of the year. Suggested websites include Hit the Button and Daily 10 (both found on Top Marks) and Monster Multiplication and Multiplication check (both found on Purple Mash) . We also recommend the apps 1 Minute Maths White Rose and DK Times Tables. We have weekly tests to identify times tables that can be improved with targeted intervention. Children should practise using whichever method works best for them. We also like to sing along to the times table songs on Supermovers the website is below.

Year 3 - Figure drawing
During this art project, the children were introduced to Figure drawing. They learned to use a simple ‘3 stage’ technique which enabled them to draw figures in different poses and positions. The children took inspiration from the work of artist Joan Eardley, whose art captured the figures and characters of street children. I am sure you'll agree their artwork is very impressive.
