Hello and welcome back to St Peters,

We hope you all had a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas break. The children were very excited to tell us how they had celebrated Christmas day and New Year!

This week, the children have started to learn about Rainforests and what is special about them. In particular, Year Three have been skimming and scanning non-fiction texts, to find key information about the Rainforest. The children have enjoyed working in teams and exploring the Rainforest through video footage, information books and jigsaw work. This has enabled the children to produce factual, written work including technical vocabulary.

In Maths, Year Three have been building upon their prior knowledge of arrays. After experimenting with a wide range of equipment from our Y3 Maths toolkits, the children understand how repeated addition may be used to support the calculation of tricky multiplication sentences.

We would like to inform you that the children have now received their new Home Learning pyramids. The content and expectations for completing the pyramid have been explained in depth across both Y3 classes.

We would also like to say a big thank you to all of the parents and children for our lovely Christmas presents – they were a wonderful surprise and are greatly appreciated!

See you next week,

Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin
