Class 3 Blog

Check out what we have been doing in class:

• Friday 17 July 2026 Super Powers In Literacy this half term, the children have been busy writing their own sections of our class book, Super Powers by Alex Cliff. Using story maps and storyboards, they planned their ideas carefully before bringing their stories to life in writing. A key focus has been on using speech to help show how characters are feeling, encouraging the children to think more deeply about character development and expression. They've also been working hard to extend their sentences, adding extra detail to engage and inform the reader. It's been wonderful to see their creativity and confidence as writers continue to grow!
• Friday 22 May 2026 What’s the time! In Numeracy, the children have been solving problems using time. We have focused on developing our use and knowledge of mathematical language when explaining the duration of time. We used our ‘Perseverant Pug' Super Learning Power to help us when reading time for half past, quarter past, quarter to and to the nearest minute. The children have enjoyed solving time problems which required them to convert between hours, minutes and seconds.

• Friday 19 December 2025 Super Stone-Age In Literacy, this half term, we have been writing instructions on how to make animal skin clothes. We have been developing our range of vocabulary, the use of adverbs and have identified different types of sentences. We have also been learning about the different writers' tools that we can use to make our work more exciting and have tried very hard to use them in our independent work. We also had great fun making our class poem about our Super learning Power animals. We created a kenning, which is like a riddle.
• Friday 24 October 2025 Maths, Magnets & Metal This term, in maths, we have focused on working with three-digit numbers by looking at the value of each digit. We have been learning how to be more independent and have been learning to play different maths games to develop our skills when working as a team.
