Wednesday Word

Our learning this week…

In RE, we have been continuing to think about the importance of the Baptismal promises and we have been considering the important role of the god parents. This week we have also been thinking about the message of Pope Francis to take care of the earth, our common home. We have been discussing some ways we can help to protect and look after our wonderful world.

In English the children have been editing and working with more independence to develop their ideas about describing the storm at the beginning of the Shakespeare play ‘Twelfth Night’. It is great to see the range of adjectives and expanded noun phrases that the children have used in their writing to create effect.

In Maths the children have been applying their knowledge of using the column method to add and subtract 2-digit and 3-digit numbers. They have continued to explore strategies of how to exchange across the tens and hundreds boundary.

In Science, the children have been expanding their learning about vertebrates and invertebrates. They have been considering ways in which we can classify animals into each group and they have been researching some key facts to extend their understanding of key features linked to each group.

In History, Year 3 have been continuing to develop their knowledge of Stone Age Britain, using skills of historical enquiry, the children have been exploring the discovery of Skara Brae, a Stone Age Village, dating back over 4000 years ago, found in the Orkney Islands.
