Welcome back after the Easter break! I must say, the children have come back to school with a great attitude and have worked hard this week. It has been lovely to see the children being kind to one another and thinking about others too. Kindness is going to be a big focus in our class this term as it is important to show kindness and respect to those around us just like Jesus would have done - and we really want to follow in His footsteps! The children have also blown me away with how much their lining up has improved over the last few days. They are working very hard to be good role models to the younger children. Keep it up Year 3 - I have every faith that you can do it!
What we have been up to this week
English - we have a started a non-fiction unit of work on the Romans. The children are applying for the job of Chief Roman Investigator so we firstly spent some time looking at the job advert and understanding what we needed to do to apply! We worked out that the children will need to create a leaflet on the Romans. To get us prepared, we looked at some vocabulary and researched the meaning of these words in the dictionary. We also learnt about conjunctions and how to use them in our writing.
Maths - we looked at the 8 times tables and their matching division facts.
Science - we learnt about the life cycle of a flowering plant.
History - we created our Roman shields and they look fantastic! Next week we will be taking them outside and practicing some Roman Army formations.
R.E. - we thought about Reconciliation and described this sacrament in our own words.
Art - we started a new art project this week on Roman mosaics. Firstly, we learnt about what mosaics are and how they are made. We also learnt what materials they are made with. Next, we looked at some examples of Roman mosaics. The children then practiced and created their own mosaics using the Greek Key pattern.
