Hello,

We hope you have all been having a pleasant week.

In English, the children have continued to learn about writing a spooky narrative – they have particularly enjoyed rehearsing the dialogue between their characters before recording the direct speech into their books. We were delighted at the pupils’ commitment to learning as well as their creativity when making their detailed and entertaining conversations. Well done Year Three! Next week, we look forward to planning, drafting and editing our own spooky stories. Each Year Three class shall create a collaborative folder of published  stories, to give to one other as a Christmas gift.

In Maths, the children have continued their learning on division, the inverse and using related number facts to solve tricky word problems. Year Three have explored groups and sharing through numerous Maths tools including: numicon, counters and bar models. Next week, both classes shall take part in a series of challenging reasoning problems and mastery-style questions, using their Maths toolkits to support and ‘prove’ their calculations.

We have been very impressed by the children’s Bronze Age home learning so far. Just to let you know that the children are going to make their Stone Age cars during a D&T afternoon on Thursday 15th December 2017 – the children have been informed that they must bring their own resources to make and decorate the working 3D car they have already designed in class. Wheels and rods shall be provided however it is the children’s responsibility to bring anything else they may need for the project into school by the aforementioned date.

Hope you all have an excellent weekend,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Luter and Mrs Sumba.
