Class 3 have been working very hard this week!

English – We have continued reading George’s Marvellous Medicine which the children are really enjoying. We created a character description of Grandma and have learned about how to write instructions this week. The children have been identifying time conjunctions within instructions and have learned how to set out instructions in an organised way. This will lead into some work next week where the children will begin to write their own instructions.

Maths – We have continued our work on place value, using what we know about 3 and 4 digit numbers to help us solve problems. The year 3 children have been practising their reasoning skills, making sure they are able to explain how they found an answer and how they know it is right.I have to say their explanations are definitely improving. The year 4 children have been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10 using number lines to help them and they have all worked independently on this which is fantastic!

Spelling – We are continuing to learn about the spelling rules for words ending in ‘le’. We have also been revising our understanding of vowels and consonants.

Geography – We have learned about the 8 compass points this week and have used them to describe the location of cities in the UK on a map.

Science – We have continued to revise our understanding of pushes and pulls this week in preparation for an investigation next week.

RE – We have begun our RE topic this week and the children have started to think about who is considered to be their neighbour and what christian’s believe about this.

French – We have learned how to greet each other and how to ask someone their name and how to respond to this question.

Computing – We have learned about how to stay safe online and how to google search things in a safe and effective way.

Homework – Please see the post below for details of this week’s homework.

Have a lovely weekend!
