In Maths we have been working really hard to learn all about fractions!

We have learnt how to find fractions of shapes and numbers, as well as learning how to place fractions on a number line! Our Learning Journey wall shows that we have been using the Bar Model and Whole Part Model to help in developing our understanding.

This week we begin our assessments across our core subjects. We are sure nobody will need it but… Good luck!

Year 3

Welcome to Term 5.

We hope you all had a refreshing Easter break and are looking forward to  lots more exciting learning  as we finish off the Anglo Saxons and Vikings and prepare to meet the Romans! Please find the Topic Web link enclosed.

A polite reminder that PE day is Thursday and we will be doing both indoor and outdoor PE this term. Please could all children have a PE kit in school, which is named.

Thank you

Topic Web Term 5

Invasion is on the way.

This term has began  with our stunning start, which saw the Anglo-Saxons of Chestnut class defend their lands from the murderous, marauding Vikings of Rowan, with their own home made swords and shields. This will lead us into the start of our topic, as well as, providing some background knowledge and feelings to help with our English writing (Non- Fiction Writing in the form of a News Paper report.)

Welcome back and a Happy New Year to all our parents and families in Year 3.

Our topic this term was scavengers and settlers which we embellished by going to the amazing Brockhill park and creating our own dens and having lots of fun in the mud like our ancestors.

We even made our own natural art!
