Mental maths is really important, can you please ensure your children login to their TTRockstars account at least 4 times a week for 20-30 minutes to practice their maltipication and division facts. They need to learn them in and out of order and be able to recall them rapidly.
They shouldn't be counting in 2s or 3s, 5s like 2,4,6,8
They should say: 1 time 2 is 2, 2 times 2 is 4 etc.
You could use a chart, see below.

Autumn 2 week 6
Forest School!!!
Our morning at Forest school started with a lot of interesting games!
Soon after, Mrs Cosgrove wanted to introduce us to the 'little people' that apparently live on our school field (How amazing!), unfortunately they were out to get food. So we decided to just go and have a look at their little village. To our surprise it was gone! Sadly, the dragon that also lives nearby had a cold and sneezed away their houses. For a moment, we were a little dissapointed since we really wanted to meet them. Then, Erickah had the amazing idea to build them new houses! And this is what we did! We hope they like them!
Finally, we had hot chocolate and pop corn by the fire!
Bambinelli and Christmas decorations!

After learning and practicing Tag Rugby for the whole half term, we had a really Rugby Match to consolidate everything we learned! We loved it!

Cave paintings in year 3
In year 3, our class topic is Stone Age and we have been studying cave paintings. We looked at the different symbols the cave artist used in their art work. We then created our own symbols and painted them with sticks out of mud and lard.
The following lesson, we created our own plant and soil pigments, this part was exciting as we got to crush chalk to make white paint, charcoal for black, leaves for green and berries for red. We then carved foam tiles with our symbols and tried to print our symbols. To create the cave atmosphere, we all got to work under our tables! This was a lot of fun!
