English: The Year 2 children have continued to revise capital letters and full stops this week. The Year 3 children began the week with an adverb activity where they had to make sure the adverb used in a sentence made sense and was in the correct place. We then all spent some time revising the different types of sentences – questions, commands, statements and exclamations and practised punctuating these correctly through playing games and doing some written work.

Maths: This week the Year 2 children have been revising their number bonds to 10 and 20. The Year 3 children have been finding 10 more and 10 less of a 3 digit number. We have all been learning about the equals sign and how it means ‘the same as’ and therefore can be placed in different places in a number sentence and not just at the end – e.g. 20 = 15 + 5 or 19 + 1 = 10 + 10.

Science: The children did some brilliant work this week on describing why a material was suitable for a given purpose. They were using some good adjectives to describe the properties of the different materials.

History: We have started to learn about Christopher Columbus. We learned some facts about his life and then the children spent some time in partners on the BBC Primary History website looking at pictures and playing games linked to Columbus.

RE: We spent some time doing some work on peace in order to prepare for a whole school display. We talked about what peace is, what it means to us and how we can bring it in our everyday lives.

Computing: The children have continued to develop their word processing skills this week by learning how to insert text boxes and images.

French: We have continued our work on greetings with the children learning how to say ‘How are you?’ and how to respond.

PE: The children have continued with their dance and games lessons.

Well done for another hard working week Class 3! Enjoy your weekend!
