I can’t believe that we have had two weeks together already! This week the children have been so enthusiastic about their learning which has been lovely to see. It is such a big step for them to come in to Year 3; but they continue to amaze me with how well they are taking it all in their stride. I’m excited for the coming week together!
Maths - we have been looking at what happens when we add and subtract a 1 digit number to/from a 2 digit number. We spotted lots of patterns and could then apply this to larger numbers too!
English - we have immersed ourselves in the story of the Stone Age Boy this week! We have learnt the story through story maps and boards; and used adjectives to describe a setting from the story. We also created a piece of drama!
History - we started our Stone Age topic by looking at what prehistory means. We placed the three parts of the Stone Age on to a timeline.
Science - we created a healthy meal on paper plates (following the guidance from the eatwell plate). Ask your child what meal they designed!
Yoga - we had our first yoga sessions with Mrs Ward. It was so relaxing and she taught us how to have a mindful body.
R.E. - we wrote about a special occasion in Church. Next week we will be starting to learn about how we join the Christian Family - Baptism. I have asked your children to please bring in a photo from their own Baptisms (please don’t worry if your child hasn’t been Baptised/you don’t have a photo). The photos can be copies. If these could be in school for Wednesday that would be great.
Roald Dahl Day - on Friday the children celebrated Roald Dahl day and took part in lots of fun activities!
Phew! As you can see, we’ve been very busy! The children were also given their login details for times tables rock stars. We are currently trialling this in school and so far the children seem to be enjoying it. They can log in at home also; so please can you ensure your children are logging in at least three times a week to practice their tables. Thank you.
Our award winners this week were:
Maths - Sam. For blowing me away with his number bond knowledge.
Golden - Sophie. For settling in to Year 3 beautifully.
Writing - Tyler. For producing some fantastic sentences this week.
Well done!
Please see the homework tab for details of this of this week’s tasks.
Finally, some dates for your diary…
26th September - European Day of Languages. We will be looking at Greece this year so please can the children come to school dressed in the colours of the Greek flag.
31st October - Math’s Day. The children can come to school dressed in an outfit related to number I.e. a domino, dice etc.
I hope you have had a lovely weekend.
