Year 3 Learning Journey - Guided Reading

Year 3 Learning Journey 
Guided Reading 

Year 3 had a fantastic time this week diving deeper into Andy Stanton's delightfully wacky book, 'You're a Bad Man, Mr Gum!'. We wrapped up our guided reading sessions by using our inferences about Mr Gum to make predictions, and culminated the week with an enthusiastic Reader's Theatre performance!

Becoming Storytellers: Reader's Theatre

The children enthusiastically stepped into the shoes of our quirky cast of characters! During our Reader's Theatre session, our Year 3s focused on projecting their volume, utilising varying tones and vocal expression, and using actions to bring the text to life. It was a joy to watch them build their public speaking skills and transform the dialogue from the page into a live, theatrical performance.

Inference & Prediction

Before our performance, we took a close look at the main villain himself. Guided reading is all about digging beneath the surface, and our class did just that! The children used clues from the text to make inferences about what drives Mr Gum, using their developing knowledge of his famously grumpy and mischievous nature to predict what happens next in the story. They came up with some brilliant, highly imaginative (and wonderfully sneaky) theories about his next plans!

Well done Year 3!

Ready to Roll

 

As part of our 48 Experiences, the Year 4 children were thrilled to head out to the big hill on the field for the exciting challenge of rolling down a hill! After listening carefully to a safety briefing, the children split into small groups and took turns making their way down the slope. There was plenty of laughter, smiles, and excitement as they rolled, tumbled, and enjoyed this fun outdoor experience together. It was wonderful to see everyone embracing the challenge and creating happy memories with their friends.

If you put your arms and legs straight, you can roll really fast! - Olaf

Wow! That was the best fun! - Finley

It was so much fun! We rolled through the leaves. - Elsie

Year 3 Learning Journey

 Our Maths Money Mission

We’ve had a fantastic, hands-on week in Year 3 exploring the world of money! To bring our Maths lessons to life, the children used physical coins and notes to practise identifying, sorting, and matching different values. 

This tactile experience was the perfect foundation for our main challenge: adding and subtracting pounds and pence. The children tackled real-world word problems, role-playing as shoppers and calculating totals and change. Subtracting can be a bit of a brain-teaser, but using the physical money to "exchange" pounds for pence really helped the concepts click. 

You can easily keep this learning going at home by letting your child count out coins at the shop or playing "market" with their toys. Thank you for your brilliant support at home—our young mathematicians are making us incredibly proud!
