Hello,

This week, the children have been publishing and evaluating their instruction pages. We were impressed by the children’s use of time connectives, imperative verbs, adverbs and prepositions across their step by step command sentences. The children also thought very carefully about the additional features boxes they had included in their work, to ensure they had a clear purpose. We have now started our new unit of learning on persuasion. In this unit, the children shall be writing a persuasive letter to Mr Cunningham to convince him to purchase a prehistoric class pet – the child with the most persuasive letter from each class shall be able to name their “Woolly Mammoth” class mascot and take him home!

In Maths, Year Three have been learning how to add and subtract tens and ones from a three digit number. As the week progressed, the children explored this concept through the context of money. Both classes also worked hard to solve a range of tricky reasoning problems that involved the addition and subtraction of multiples of one hundred. Next week, we look forward to developing our learning on money. Please remind your child to log on to Sumdog learning over the weekend in preparation for this.

On Friday, the children enjoyed taking part in our CAFOD Wear It Bright day. Year Three wore lots of bright colours in order to raise money for CAFOD and support those who are less fortunate in other countries around the world.

We hope you all have a nice weekend,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Stewart and Mrs Sumba.
