Then, you can subtract by counting back, put 13 in your head and take away 4. Repeat for all columns. |

Welcome to Chestnut Class!
My name is Miss Pearce and I am teaching year 3 this year. I will be supported by our lovely teaching assistant, Mrs Clark.
We are really looking forward to this academic year due to the many exciting topics we will be engaging with. In Chestnut class, we aim to work hard and try our best with our learning and behaviour every day. We will be facing many challenges over the course of the year, whilst working in a calm and caring learning environment. Our great teamwork and communication skills will help us to become successful in achieving our desired goals.
Reading is very important to us at Newtown school because it not only helps us to understand new vocabulary and improve our writing abilities, but it can also be extremely enjoyable! We encourage children to read at home in order to reach the 100 club. This is when the children receive certificates and rewards after they reach specific milestones on their journey to reading as many times as possible during the school year. These can only be obtained when a parent or guardian has both signed and dated in the back of their child’s learning destination journal.
The children will have weekly PE lessons with Mr Briant. We kindly ask that all PE kits remain in school all week, so that the children are ready to participate in these lessons at any given time. Children should wear a white t-shirt, black shorts and appropriate footwear such as trainers.
There will be many fun and memorable times throughout the year so please keep an eye on our class page to see photos of what we get up to! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.
Miss Pearce
Chestnut Class Presents…Totally Terrific Toys!
We are excited to share our Design and Technology learning with you. Throughout term three, our focus has been on designing, making and evaluating our fantastic moving cam toys. These hand-powered mechanisms allow the object to move up and down. We chose the flower design for our toys because we have previously been learning about plants. As a class, we have learned so many new skills, from measuring and sawing wood to strengthening our frame structures using card. It was important to know how to use the equipment safely as this helped us to be mindful of the dangers that can occur when handling tools. These skills will be imperative in the future. We are extremely proud of our achievements and we hope you like our work!
We love fruit!
To conclude our topic on plants, we thought about what foods we know grow on plants. We wrote recipes for a fruit salad and carried them out. We made sure that each person in every group had a fruit of their choice in the bowl. We especially enjoyed eating them!
Plants
We have been learning all about the different parts of a plant and explaining their important functions. Chestnut Class has particularly enjoyed creating our topic book covers because we used oil pastels and our observational skills to draw a real bunch of flowers. This term is going to be an exciting one as we are going to investigate water transportation in plants and how we can use foods that are grown to create basic meals. What a great start to term three!
Earthquakes
What a spectacular start to the term! We have been learning about earthquakes and the damages they can cause. One even struck our classroom, so we had to help Miss Pearce clean up the mess! In literacy, we will be writing safety instructions on what to do in the event of an earthquake. Chestnut class have particularly enjoyed sharing the wonderful earthquake projects that were created over the holidays and discussing what they have learned about the topic so far. We are really looking forward to learning about Diwali because we will be making Diya lamps out of clay. Also, we are going on a class trip to Stowford Manor Farm.
We had a great day with Mr Marshall and Mrs Disney learning about fire and shelter building.
A big thank you to everyone involved for allowing us to have such great learning opportunities!
From Chestnut Class 😃
