Our week began on Tuesday this week, it was lovely to speak to the children and share how they marked the Her Majesty’s funeral service at home the day before. Thank you for completing this weeks homework, the children enjoyed sharing this together, comparing what they all did and completing some fabulous quizzes! We really enjoyed sharing these on Thursday in class.

This week in maths we have been representing adding together three addends using tens frames, part'-whole models and on a number line. This variety of visual representations has really helped to deepen this understanding. Once again, we have been really impressed with their speedy number facts that we can tell they have worked so hard on during their time in the infants. This is now a superpower of ours when it comes to our addition and is helping the children to solve sums with confidence.

During our English, we have continued to look at fables and there hidden teachings. We have focused on the punctuation and how this helps us as readers. We have then been working in pairs to perform a part of a fable using intonation by looking at the punctuation used. We have also spent time looking at nouns and how we can add adjectives before a noun to make our sentences more interesting and descriptive for the reader. Well done Year 3!

It was so lovely to see many of you on Wednesday evening as we discussed the year ahead. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy evenings. We know many of you have lots of things to juggle to make you able to attend and we want you to know how grateful we are. Also thank you to those of you who couldn’t make it but emailed asking for any information to be sent to you, I hope you found the document useful.

Let’s Celebrate:
