Hello,<\/p>\n

This week the children have enjoyed a range of different activities across their curricular learning.<\/p>\n

In English, Year Three have drafted and edited their public speeches as a Roman governor. The children were then given an opportunity to perform the persuasive speeches in front of their peers, taking care to vary their use of facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice so as to engage the audience.<\/p>\n

In Maths, the children have enjoyed learning about equivalent fractions and how to represent them\u00a0in a variety of ways e.g. number lines, drawings and shape pictures. As the week progressed, the children began to study the relationship between the numerator and the denominator. They were then able to apply what they had learned to a range of tricky division bar models.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, we had our Year Three D&T day. The children had a brilliant time researching, designing, building and decorating their own Roman forts. We were impressed by the children’s creativity and determination. In particular, Year Three collaborated effectively to saw their wooden batons and build them into secure cubic frames to support their forts. Well done Year Three!<\/p>\n

On Friday, Year Three took part in 6C Day. The children attended an assembly in the morning about the wonderful work of the Hampshire Air ambulance services. In light of the assembly, all of the students visited different classrooms to explore a range of different problem-solving and collaborative activities. Please see the photos below of the Origami Stars challenge…<\/p>\n
