Welcome to the final half-term of Year 3! You have worked hard at school and at home - well done to everyone - now we need to keep it up for a bit longer! Not everything has to be written down but when it is, remember to keep your work neatly presented, use a ruler and practise your joined handwriting. There are only a few weeks to go but there will be lots of important learning opportunities each week, in readiness for Year 4. Let’s get started!

Stay motivated and keep smiling! LESSONS, ACTIVITIES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK’S LEARNING
