Welcome back Class 3! The children have all had a great first week back and have all settled in well to class. This is what we have done this week…
English – In Read, write, inc the blue group have been reading ‘The Poor Goose’ and writing about winning. The pink group have been reading ‘The dressing up box’ and writing about dressing up. The rest of the class have been using the correct punctuation (capital letters, full stops, question marks, exclamation marks, commas and apostrophes) in sentences and using pronouns to replace the noun in sentences to improve their writing.
Maths – Our unit is ‘Place value’. This week we have been counting to 100 / in hundreds, representing numbers to 100 / 1,000 and using part, part whole models to represent numbers as tens & ones and hundreds, tens & ones. They have been using equipment such as Base 10 to work practically during the lesson to support their understanding of number.
Science – This week we started our new topic ‘Light and Sound’. The children first of all discussed what they already know about light and had lots of fantastic ideas! They then looked at shadows and had lots of fun making shadows using a torch and a range of objects and going outside to find their own shadows!
RE – This week the children went outside and carried out a range of activities to identify ‘wow’ factors in nature. They started by listening to ‘natures symphony’ and had a go at making these sounds using resources from nature. Then they hunted for examples of nature and found lots of lovely colours.
Spellings- To be tested on Friday 13th September – 6.9.19
Please can they write some sentences in their spellings books using their list of spellings.
Have a lovely weekend.
