Hello,

We hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

This week, the children have had lots of opportunities to show us their creativity across a wide range of subjects…

In English, we have been working hard to complete our scary stories. We are very impressed by the exciting word choices and sentences types that the children have been applying to their own writing. The stories are very entertaining to read, well done Year Three!

In Science – as part of our Rocks and Fossils unit – the children explored the Nature Trail and analysed their own soil samples. Towards the end of the week, Year Three have enjoyed making and then evaluating their own fossils. Thank you to those who have brought in some precious stones as part of their home learning – we have enjoyed looking at them closely under the class visualizer!

In Maths, the children have been subtracting amounts of money, using the expanded column method. They have shown a lot of commitment throughout their learning, especially when given some tricky word problems. Perhaps the children could practise using the expanded column method this weekend, to work out how much change they will receive if they are out Christmas shopping!

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin
