This week we started to look at how Fossils are created.\u00a0 You could look into this more at home. Do you have fossils at home? Could you have a look at more photographs of fossils online or in books? Could you draw some fossils? If you want to bring any of your research in to show us, we’d love to see what you find out.<\/p>\n
Maths: This week in Maths we have been looking at measure.\u00a0 We have been measuring old ‘mammoth bones’ and ‘sabre tooth tiger’ teeth.\u00a0 Towards the end of the week we looked at problems such as: If I have 3 mammoth bones each measuring 24cm, how long would the bones be in total? We looked at how we can draw the problem to help us understand it and then use this to solve it.\u00a0 The children were very successful! Well Done!<\/p>\n
English: We were busy writing our setting description this week.\u00a0 We published our final piece on Friday.\u00a0 The teachers in Year 3 will be deciding if there are any candidates worthy of a pen licence this week.\u00a0 Next week we will be looking at instructions.\u00a0 If you\u00a0want to get a head start, you could look for some examples of this text in your homes.<\/p>\n
Topic: We had lots of fun creating music to fit with the sunset and sunrise at Stone Henge.\u00a0 The children were very creative in matching the appropriate mood and even began to record their music in\u00a0early notation.<\/p>\n
Maths: log into sumdog and have a go at the multiplication challenges available<\/p>\n
Spelling: Finally, we looked at the ‘ar’ sound after w this week.\u00a0 We noticed it can sound like ‘or’ but it is spelt ‘ar’ (war, warship, toward). The phonics group looked into words with the sound ‘ue’.\u00a0 All children have the spellings and vocabulary work stuck into their pink books.<\/p>\n
