We have had great fun in English this week, creating actions for our story the Lion and the Mouse and using this to help us to re-write the opening paragraph. We have a class of enthusiastic and curious learners, all creating wonderful pieces of writing. We paid particular attention towards including adjectives to describe nouns, along with using the right determiners before a noun. We have been so impressed to see this within their writing. Well done Year 3!
In maths we have moved on from 3 addend sums, using this knowledge to help us begin to bridge over the 10. The children are already becoming confident at splitting an addend into 2 parts to help make the equation much simpler to answer. For example taking the sum 7 + 5 and changing it to 7 + 3 + 2, making that all important 10 first. This is something we will continue to build on next week.
The children we all buzzing with excitement as they learnt all about their assembly which we will now be practising ready for our performances in a couple of weeks. The message we aim to share with our audience is that we are all special and our assembly is based on the story of Punchinello. You might like to read this story at home, or watch it being re-told on youtube. We cannot wait to share our assembly with you all.
This week our KIDSAFE lesson has focussed on bullying and the “Yukky Feelings” that this can cause. Please read the letter below to find out more about the session.
