Year 3 week 5

/4 Comments/in /by

It was lovely to see so many of you this week at parents evening, thank you for your continued support.

This week we have focused on developing our mental maths skills and the children are working hard on the 2 and 3 timetables. In English we have been writing diary entries as ‘UG the boy Genius of the Stone Age’.

In art we have been using different collage techniques to create wonderful autumnal pictures and impressions of Stonehenge.

The children are working hard on their presentation and cursive handwriting – please see this link for letter for formation videos and support. http://www.teachhandwriting.co.uk/continuous-cursive-letters-refining.html

We are very much looking forward to studying India next week as our One Word Week focus and celebrating our learning with you on Friday morning.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Pringle  IMG_0233 IMG_0232 IMG_0231 IMG_0230 IMG_0229 IMG_0227 IMG_0226 IMG_0225 IMG_0224 IMG_0223 IMG_0222 IMG_0221 IMG_0220 IMG_0219 IMG_0218 IMG_0217 Alexis

Year 3 have been very busy this week improving their handwriting, applying their maths knowledge and developing their scientific skills20171003_11405720171003_11323520171003_11343420171003_11393820171005_11454220171005_114108In maths they have used their rounding, estimating and measuring skills to solve tricky problems.

They have also been carefully observing differnt rocks, making notes about textures and patterns. They have also learnt how the 3 main rock types (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary) are made – our starburst experiment was quite a hit!

We also now have a playtime science box, which children can use to follow their own lines of enquiry – it has been fascinating to see what they have found.

I hope you enjoy researching famous rocks around the world. I look forward to seeing your information posters.

The children’s dodging skills are really improving in P.E. and they have learnt many new dodging games.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Pringle.
