I hope you all had a happy and holy Easter. It was so lovely to be back and ready for our learning.
We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year 3 this week. Here’s what we have been up to…
In English, the children have been investigating vocabulary and writing with a sense of discovery and the unknown. We will be writing an Egyptian Mystery soon
In Maths, the children have been working on fractions, both using fractions as numbers and finding fractions of a set of objects.
We have begun our new History topic - the Anglo-Saxons, finding out about where they came from, why they invaded and how we can tell where they settled by investigating place names.
In PE, we have started the athletics unit, both jumping and throwing skills.
In RE, the children have been learning how the disciples did not recognise Jesus on the road to Emmaus and what caused the disciples to recognise Jesus and why.
In Music we had a great time learning to sing to a disco song “Bringing Us Together”
