It’s been another great week in Class 3…

English: The children have enjoyed continuing to read some Roman Myths. We have done some role-play based on these and some grammar and spelling work – revising how to correctly punctuate speech and revision of adding the suffix ‘ly’ to adjectives to make adverbs.

Maths: We have moved onto shape this week. We have been learning about right angles and lines of symmetry as a way of describing a wide variety of shapes. The children have been learning how to spot these, particularly within shapes they are unfamiliar with.

Science: The children have been investigating different types of rocks this week. We have carried out some investigations to test the hardness of rocks and to find out if a rock is permeable.

RE: We have been learning about the Holy Trinity this week. The children have been looking at how Christians describe God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Computing: The children have enjoyed investigating the computer program ‘Scratch’ this week.

PSHE: We have discussed being different and how this can sometimes make us feel. We then discussed various different emotions that we feel at different times. All Class 3 staff were very proud of how open the children were and how sensitive they were towards each other.

Well done Class 3! Have a lovely weekend!

Class 3 have been working hard this week…..

English: We have been reading some Roman myths in English this week. The children have really enjoyed discussing different characters and learning about some of the Roman Gods. They have had a go at re-telling a myth using their own descriptive language. We have also revised some grammatical terms such as nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs and adverbial phrases.

Maths: The children have continued to use a number line for division this week, with all children working independently as well as some progressing onto using a blank number line. We have moved onto solving division problems which have remainders and have applied our knowledge to one of our favourite maths stories today called ‘A remainder of one’.

Science: The children have become rock detectives this week to kick off our new topic! They spent some time observing, sketching and labelling some rocks before finding out their names.

History: This week we have been finding out the different countries the Romans invaded and when they invaded them.

RE: We have been discussing the similarities and differences between an infant and adult baptism.

PE: The children have done some fitness activities and have begun to learn some country dancing.

PSHE: The children were asked to make some New Year’s resolutions this week linked to home, school, friends etc.

Spellings: The children have come home with spelling homework this week – they need to write their spellings in a sentence. This is particularly important for the children who have been given homophones for their spellings this week.

Well done Class 3 for another week of hard work. Enjoy the weekend!
