Hello,

This week, the children have really impressed us with their use of the learning values, Creativity and Collaboration.

In English, the children have enjoyed planning, drafting, editing and publishing a Dragon information page. They have worked very hard to ensure that their writing is detailed, factual and concise. We are very proud of Year Three because they have taken meticulous care with their handwriting and presentation. It has been lovely to celebrate the children’s successes in class – our ‘Wagoll’ board (‘What a Good One Looks Like’) is almost full! Well done Year Three.

In Maths, Year Three have been learning about multiplication and division. They have become more confident in using mental strategies as well as the grid method in order to solve a series of challenging word problems. The children have particularly enjoyed comparing and discussing their workings, as well as deciding upon which methods were more or less efficient and why. Next term, we look forward to learning more about fractions as well as the use of fractions as numbers (e.g. 0.75 = 3/4 ).

On Friday afternoon, the children dressed in bright and colourful non-uniform in order to celebrate the cultural diversity within our school. Please see the photo below…

Thank you to everyone who has produced a range of Dragon Home Learning this term. Please see the photo below for some excellent examples of what the children have created…

We hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable half term,

Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin
