These activities served as a lovely reward for Year 3, who have worked hard this week across their taught sessions. In English, the children have enjoyed drafting, editing and publishing their Roman slave diaries. They look forward to seeing their work showcased in the school&#8217;s library next week. In Maths, the children have shown commitment and determination throughout their work on subtraction &#8211;\u00a0they have enjoyed learning how to round their numbers to the nearest 10, to estimate their answers and ensure their following calculations are reasonable. Thank you to all of the children and Year 3 parents for the excellent Roman Home Learning that has been produced so far, we look forward to putting them on display soon (photos to follow!)<\/p>\n<p>Please see the link below for a PDF of our weekly RE newsletter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/03\/SP2-WK3.pdf\" rel=\"\">SP2 WK3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We wish you all a peaceful and relaxing weekend,<\/p>\n<p>Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, Friday has been a day of great excitement in Year 3 as we have been lucky enough to have the authors of\u00a0our favourite Supertato come into our classrooms.
