Hello,

We hope you have all had a pleasant week.

This week, the children have shown an exceptional level of commitment when given a range of challenging problems to solve across their curricular learning…

In English, Year Three have drafted, edited and published their Rainforest information leaflets. We were impressed by the selection and variety of features, facts and key words that were used by the children in order to present information to their audience (visitors of London Zoo). Well done Year Three! Next week, we look forward to continuing our topic learning on The Rainforest, through class debates and persuasive letters based upon Deforestation.

In Maths, both classes have continued to work hard on their learning of subtraction. In particular, the children have enjoyed using Place Value tools (diennes, arrow cards and place value counters) to support them in their use of formal written methods (number lines and columnar subtraction). We were delighted to see the children solving problems that required one and/or two exchanges, through the use of the aforementioned Place Value tools. Great work Year Three! Next week, we shall revisit our learning on Multiplication and Division – we look forward to using concrete resources and arrays to explore these Mathematical operations.

Wishing you all a peaceful weekend,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Luter and Mrs Sumba.
