I would like to say a huge well done to all of the children who performed at Theatre Severn on Monday evening, as part of the Romany Wood production. It was a wonderful evening and the chidlren should all feel immensely proud of their performance.

Thank you to Miss France for the time and effort she put in to prepare the children so well.

Class 3 weekly update

English – In English the children have been identifying features of instructions by looking at the layout (e.g. subheadings, numbered lists), imperative verbs and time conjunctions. They then wrote their own set of instructions, remembering to include all the features they looked at.

In Read, write, inc the green group have been reading a non-fiction book about ‘Hens’ and using the information in the book to write about how to look after hens and what they do. The yellow group have been reading a non-fiction book called ‘Jim’s house in 1874’ and using the information to write about houses in the past compared to houses today. Red and blue group have been working independently looking at and using apostrophes to mark where letters are missing in spellings (contractions). They have changed two words into one using the apostrophe (e.g. can not = can’t). They have also been using these words in their own sentences.

Maths – This week we have finding odd and even numbers and dividing numbers by 5 and 10 using the 5 and 10 times table to find the answer more efficiently. For example 5 x 10 = 50 / 50 ÷ 10 = 5.

Science – The children have been investigating how strong different types of paper are. They tested a range of papers to find out how much weight they took until they broke. They all worked well in groups to carry out the investigation and shared lots of good ideas to include in their conclusion, including looking at which papers were thick/ thin and strong/weak.

Spellings- To be tested on Friday 5th April. 29.03.19

Please can children write at least 3 sentences in their spellings books using the spelling focus words.

The children have also been practising for the celebration assembly next week and they all sound fantastic! Thank you for all your help with learning the song at home. A letter went home yesterday about what costume they will need. Thursday 28th March 2019

We welcome Miss Francis into class 3 this week, who will be with us until the end of the summer term. Miss Francis is a PGCE student and will be working with the children and teaching lessons during her time here.

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Thomas and Miss Moran
