Class 3 have been working hard this week:

English:  We are currently reading the story ‘The Twits’ and are linking lots of grammar and punctuation work to this. This week the children have been learning how to use inverted commas correctly and have been practising this within their work. They have also learned about when to use ‘an’ in a sentence.

Maths: Children have been adding and subtracting in the context of money. We revised our mental subtraction skills and learned how to count on using a number line to subtract.

Science: We carried out an investigation to test the strength of magnets this week. We learned how to record our results accurately and then presented them in a bar chart.

Geography: We continued to learn about counties this week, especially Shropshire. We were finding out about rivers in Shropshire, landmarks, towns and villages as well as famous people who have lived here.

Computing: The children are using an app called videolicious where they are creating a film about the things they love about Bicton School.

PE: The children have continued to practise key skills as well as developing their understanding of the game of hockey.

RE: We have begun to think about what we already know about the Christmas story and the names and importance of key people.

Homework: Your child has been set homework this week, please see post above for details.
