Having studied the non-fiction text <em>Animal Shark Diaries <\/em>by Steve Parker, the children\u00a0have embraced the challenge of\u00a0incorporating nouns and pronouns when producing their own <em>Sloth Diary <\/em>information pages.<\/p>\n<p>In Maths, both classes have continued to apply their knowledge of addition and subtraction to a range of contexts including data analysis, money problems and missing number challenges. To support their learning, the children have been encouraged to use Maths Toolkits, verbal reasoning, expanded column methods, number lines and bar models so as to help them interpret a series of difficult word problems. Well done for\u00a0all of your commitment and\u00a0success, Year Three!<\/p>\n<p>We hope that you are all enjoying a well deserved half term break. We would like to thank all the children for their\u00a0perseverance and hard work this term.\u00a0We are very grateful to all\u00a0parents for their continued support of Home Learning, which has enabled the children to explore their Rainforest topic in further depth.
