Hello,

We hope you have all been having a fun – and safe – weekend in the snow!

This week, the children have been learning about fronted adverbials of time and place. Having watched a selection of video clips and sound bites of a stormy voyage, the children produced some excellent descriptions for their slave diary entries. We were impressed to see both classes producing their own creative sentence openers, well done Year Three! Next week, as part of our sentence-level work, we look forward to exploring prepositions for our setting descriptions, as well as dialogue in order to add further detail about different characters.

In Maths, Year Three have worked exceptionally hard to explore a variety of fractions both practically and pictorially. During the week, we moved on to learning about tenths of a number as well as calculating non-unit fractions of amounts (e.g. 3/8 of 16), all within the context of tricky reasoning problems. Next week, we shall be moving on to our new unit of learning: geometry! Can you find any 2D and 3D shapes around your home this weekend? How would you describe and compare these shapes?

We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday 5th March,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Sumba and Mrs Luter.
