Hello,
This week, the children have been given lots of opportunities to apply the skills they have been taught to a wide variety of challenging contexts.
In English, the children have enjoyed learning how to make a public speech. They have planned their own speeches, as a Roman governor, and now look forward to publishing and performing them with their peers next week! We have been very impressed by the persuasive, engaging and emotive language that has been used across the children’s writing. Well done Year Three!
In Maths, we have looked at how to add, subtract and compare fractions with the same denominator. In particular, Year Three have used fraction walls, number lines and fraction bars in order to show their workings in a variety of ways. Towards the end of the week, the children were able find the difference between two fractions and even solve a series of complex mastery problems. Great work, Year Three!
We would like to thank all of Year 3 for the commitment and creativity that they have shown for Home Learning. It has been lovely to see the children produce models, maps and diagrams to illustrate what they have been learning about the Romans.
