Welcome to Blackfriars Class and Year 3. It was a pleasure meeting your children this last week and the class has settled in well. I am Mrs Taggart the class teacher and I work with Mrs Glenn who is a Teaching  Assistant and Mrs Tooze who works with me on Fridays.

In Maths this week we are working on Place Value, comparing and ordering numbers as well counting in multiples of 50 and 100. We will learn to write number in words up to 1000.

In English we are learning to use the correct form of tenses. We will look at the setting and the plot of the story Stone Age boy

Our topic this term is Scavengers and Hunters

In Science we will learn about forces and magnets.

The children will have homework on Fridays and it will be due in on Wednesday. The children have chosen their reading books and they should aim to read every day.
