What a fantastic week we have had in Year 3! We have worked so hard and been such Bobby Bee’s in class, showing such enthusiasm and determination to improve our work! It was so lovely talking to some of you on Wednesday about your child’s learning and Mrs Harrison is looking forward to talking to the rest of you on 23rd March.

This week in English we have been looking deeper in to the characters in the modern fable ‘The Greenling’, developing our empathy of the characters and using our inference detective skills to find out more about these characters using role on the wall. We have been extremely impressed as Year 3 are now applying their knowledge of explaining our points, trying to use evidence of the text. In English, we have also taken a closer look at dialogue within a text and asked this out with our learning partners. I definitely think we have some budding actors in the class! During our Maths lessons the children have continued to work on their addition and subtraction skills, looking at strategies we can use to make 100 and applying these strategies when reasoning problems and puzzles.

On Thursday our classroom became full with apprentice electricians. The children worked together to make a circuit to light their bulb. Everybody showed great resilience as they problem solved, worked together and adapted their ideas. The buzz of excitement was just wonderful!

Let’s Celebrate!
