Hello,
This week, the children have continued to explore their new Dragons unit across the school curriculum.
In English, Year 3 visited the ICT suite in order to publish their detailed newspaper articles about a local Dragon sighting. It was clear to see that the children had thought carefully about the 5Ws in their writing: who, what, where, when and why. They have now started to explore their new English unit: writing a Dragon information page. The children were excited to watch factual documentaries, listen to radio podcasts and even create a detailed Dragon key word bank. We look forward to applying the new Dragon vocabulary we have learned within our sentence work next week.
In Maths, the children have been learning about different units of measure. At the start of the week, the children were given the challenge of estimating and measuring the weight and length of different items around the classroom. They have also had the opportunity to apply what they have been taught when solving word problems based upon measurements. For example, the children have been comparing the difference in weight between different Dragon snacks!
It has been lovely to see the detailed Dragon home learning that the children have produced – please see the link below for a copy of the task that the children need to complete this weekend, for Monday:
We hope you all have a peaceful weekend,
Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin
