Class 3 Weekly Update

English: This week we have been learning how to write a set of instructions. We started the week by reading some instructions and finding the different features and then we wrote a whole class set of instructions. The children also had a go at independently writing their own instructions for a marvellous medicine. The Year 2 children focused on using imperative verbs, adverbs and expanded noun phrases in their work. The Year 3 children focused on using imperative verbs, prepositions, conjunctions and adverbs of time and manner.

Maths: We have been learning about 2D shape this week. We have been identifying their properties – focusing on the number of sides, types of sides (straight or curved, equal) and number of vertices. We have also done some work on lines of symmetry. They Year 3 children have been challenged to identify parallel lines and perpendicular lines within a shape.

Science: The children carried out their investigation this week to see which surface the toy car would move on the quickest. They recorded their results and wrote a conclusion.

Geography: The children have been identifying mountains and hills within the UK.

D&T: The children tasted some different toppings for their scones in order to help them make decisions about their own scone they will eventually make.

RE: We have gone over the Easter story this week and have re-told it ourselves, thinking about how the different parts make us feel.

Class 2 World Book Day

On World Book Day, Class 2 were introduced to our new class story ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’. We had a day based around this story, completing lots of fun activities. We began with listening to the story, followed by acting the story out in a group and presenting it to the rest of the class. We then thought about the Tiger’s diet and decided he didn’t have a very healthy diet as he ate lots of food from Sophie’s house. The children were given the task of designing a healthy meal for the tiger and drawing their design onto a paper plate. Before lunch we decorated biscuits ready for our Tiger Tea Party in the afternoon. The children had a lovely afternoon, decorating a tiger mask and eating lots of goodies at the tiger tea party.

English: Blue group and Red group have worked within Read Write Inc groups Monday-Wednesday, whilst Green and Yellow group have worked independently on Little Red Riding Hood. These children have been writing questions to interview the Big Bad Wolf and then carrying out their interviews using the Ipads to record themselves. On Thursday (World Book Day), the children were introduced to our new story, ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’, we will focus on this story on Thursdays and Fridays. They began acting out the story and performing their presentation to the rest of the class, we then had a lovely Tiger Tea Party in the afternoon (photos to follow on Monday).

Maths: In Maths, the children have continued with place value and comparing numbers using the more than, less than and equal too symbols.

Science: The children investigated using magnets on Tuesday. They were challenged to find magnetic objects within the classroom and then had to draw and label these. On Thursday they decided that the Tiger in our new story does not have a very good diet as he eats everything! We designed a healthy, balanced meal for him and drew these ideas onto paper plates.

RE: Our question in RE, this half term is, ‘Why does Easter matter to Christians?’ The children began by thinking about Springtime and how we recognise signs of Spring. They then listened to the Easter story and discussed the sad and happy parts of the story.

Phonics: In phonics, we are now recapping on sounds as we have covered all of set 2 and 3 sounds in the Read Write Inc program.
