Hello,

This week, the children have taken part in lots of engaging activities and tasks as part of their cross-curricular learning.

Today, Year 3 were visited by the fantastic children’s author, Paul Nolan, who taught the children all about the Bronze Age through a series of team building activities and stories. The children had a wonderful time dressing up in Bronze Age costumes and re-enacting a Bronze Age religious ceremony at Stonehenge.

In English, we congratulated the two winners of our Woolly Mammoth competition. Well done to Poppy and Daniel who had successfully persuaded their Head Teacher to purchase a Woolly Mammoth as a class pet! This week, we have continued to enjoy our descriptive writing unit on The Stormy Sea. Year Three are very excited to plan, draft and publish their descriptive pieces of writing before performing them in front of their parents next Friday!

In Maths, the children have started to learn about fractions as being equal parts of a whole. Already, both classes have demonstrated commitment and success when using fraction walls and diagrams, to support them in counting fractions and even recognising equivalent fractions – well done Year Three.

The children have really enjoyed their topic learning on the Stone Age. They now look forward to learning all about the Bronze Age in their History lessons next week. We shall distribute Bronze Age home learning pyramids as soon as possible.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Luter and Mrs Sumba.
