It’s been another great week in Class 3!

English – We have continued our work on George’s Marvellous Medicine this week with a focus on learning about time and cause conjunctions. The children have planned and written Instructions for their own Marvellous Medicine including lots of time and cause conjunctions as well as imperative verbs. They were very good and we can’t wait for you to see them at parents evening!

Maths – We have finished off our work on place value this week by continuing to learn about rounding numbers to the nearest 100 (Y4) and learning about finding 10 more 10 less, 100 more and 100 less of 3 digit numbers (Y3). The children have shown me everything they have learned by creating their own Place Value museum as well as completing an end of unit assessment. We will be moving onto addition next week.

Science – We have planned an investigation as a class to find out if the surface of a ramp will affect the speed of a toy car. We planned it together to ensure we understood how to plan effectively. The investigation will be carried out on Monday.

Geography – We have learned about the names of the seas that surround the UK this week using an atlas to help us. The children are getting very good at independently locating relevant information in an atlas.

Art – The children have learned about a British Artist called ‘Thomas Gainsborough’ this week. We then had a go at painting a portrait in a similar style to him.

RE – We have continued to think about who we consider to be our neighbour this week.

Spelling – This was the final week of learning about the rules for words ending in ‘le’. The children have learned three different rules (see previous weeks spellings) and must now begin to apply these to their independent writing.

French – We have continued to learn how to hold a conversation when we greet someone.

Have a lovely weekend!
