Hello,

We hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

This week, the children have taken part in a variety of activities that have enabled them to broaden and deepen their knowledge across the Year Three curriculum. In Maths, the children have been exploring the four operations – they have worked in teams to successfully identify the links between operations, mathematical vocabulary as well as the formal written methods that may be used across their workings in Maths. Towards the end of the week, the children were given the opportunity to apply their knowledge by explaining the decisions they had made when interpreting a variety of one-step and two-step word problems. Please see the photos below…

In English, we have continued to work towards our new ‘Healthy Eating’ topic. The children were shown a persuasive speech and letter, written by Jamie Oliver, which promoted the importance of healthy and balanced diets for children. During the week, Year Three wrote their own persuasive letters to encourage a healthier lifestyle amongst younger children – this activity enabled both classes to successfully apply their knowledge of conjunctions, rhetorical questions as well as nutritional vocabulary.

We look forward to seeing you next week,

Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin
