One of our current focusses in Year 3 is on developing overall writing with a big push on spelling and developing good handwriting.

Over the past few weeks, Year 3 children have been learning to write instructions in our English lessons. We started off by teaching them what can go wrong when instructions are not clear enough; by using the wrong instructions and ending up with messy jam sandwiches! This showed them the importance of following clear and organised instructions, to then get a proper sandwich. The next task was to get the children to write instructions on how to make the felt bookmarks they recently created in Design Technology. 

Please check the Year 3 padlet page for your child's current spellings and encourage them to practise them at home.
