Hello,

It was lovely to see you all during our Year Three parents evenings this week. We hope that you have found the appointments both helpful and informative – please feel free to ask us any questions should you wish for further clarification regarding targets given and/or suggestions made for supporting children at home.

This week, the children have enjoyed drafting, editing and publishing their setting descriptions about the sea. We were very impressed by the children’s use of the 5 senses as well as the effectiveness of their verbs and adverbs to make the description both engaging and entertaining. We look forward to performing the finished pieces tomorrow. Well done Year Three!

In Maths, we have continued to learn about fractions and have begun to explore a range of multi-step, mastery problems. Both classes have enjoyed using their fraction walls and fraction strips to support them in their counting of fractions and identification of equivalent fractions. Next week, we look forward to learning about multiplication and division.

Just to let you know that we have set an online Maths test on Sumdog, which we would like the children to complete at home between Friday 24th and Sunday 26th November. We would also like the children to bring in a cardboard box to school, as well as any other resources they wish to use in order to build their Stone Age cars – the children shall be building their cars during a D&T afternoon on Thursday 7th December.

We hope you all have a great weekend,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Luter and Mrs Sumba.
