This week, the children have had a super time, developing their geometry skills in maths, using their thinking skills in philosophy and ending the week with Sports Day!
This week in maths we have been learning about angles, turns and direction in our geometry topic. The children enjoyed writing turn problems for their talk partners to solve and using right-angle finders to identify all of the right angles in the classroom!
We practised our reading and comprehension skills through reciprocal reading. It is great to see the children becoming so confident with their reading roles!
This week, we read on in our core text Podkin One-Ear and had a lot of fun creating freeze frames to show a poignant moment of discovery in the story!
The children have had an exciting week in school and have worked very hard in all of their lessons.
It has been wonderful to welcome all the children back to school. They have worked very hard this week and have produced lovely work during their lessons.
What have we done this week?
Observing and investigating in science and history lessons.
It has been a productive first week back in Year 3. The children have thoroughly enjoyed making the most of the sunshine, and have worked particularly hard in their PE lessons this week!
In science we have started our new topic: Plants. The children have been learning about the conditions that plants need to become healthy and strong.
Our maths topic this term is fractions. This week the children have been learning about unit and non-unit fractions, and finding fractions of shapes and a group of objects - using their times table multiplication and division facts.
The children have been excited to begin their new core text for the summer term: The Legend of Podkin One-Ear. They have made predictions based on the front and back cover of the book, read and discussed their understanding of chapters 1 and 2 and even used top tips from the author Kieran Larwood to create their very own fantasy land maps!
