Hello,

We hope you have all had a good week and that you have enjoyed the recent sunshine.

This week, Year Three have evaluated their Dragon information pages – this was a brilliant opportunity for the children to consider the strengths and areas for improvement within their finished pieces, both in pair groups (peer assessment) and individually (self assessment). We then introduced our new unit of learning, Healthy Eating. As part of this topic, Year Three are exploring the text Doug Lugg, Boy Slug before writing their own Healthy Eating story involving transforming characters.

In Maths, the children have continued their learning on measure. In particular, they have been taught how to measure the perimeter of shapes as well as use their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes to complete ‘missing side’ problems. Furthermore, we were impressed to see that both classes were able to use a range of strategies when calculating the perimeter of regular shapes – these included Addition, times tables as well as Multiplication. Well done Year Three!

At the end of the week, Year Three took part in a STEM learning day (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). The children worked in table groups and were given a project whereby they were required to create food and exercise plans for famous British athletes (swimmers, runners and jumpers). Across the day, both classes took part in a variety of activities about skeletons, muscles and nutrition.

Just to let you know that all Year Three Dragon models have been displayed in the school office – please do take a look at these creative and colourful projects!

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Luter and Mrs Stewart.
