Hello,
This week, the children have taken part in lots of group and paired work in order to support and enrich their learning.
In Maths, Year 3 have continued to learn about shapes. With the support of interactive activities, online videos and measuring tools including angle-eaters, the children have become confident in their classification of lines (horizontal, vertical, parallel and perpendicular). The children have also enjoyed using Geoboards and elastic bands to design shapes that meet a specific criteria, in terms of the type and number of angles required (e.g. right angles, acute and obtuse angles). Both classes showed excellent collaboration when exploring right angles and programming a set of instructions for their beebots. Well done Year Three!
In English, the children have continued their learning about informative newspaper articles. This week, they have been learning about the key elements of a newspaper article (specific detail, direct speech, conjunctions and a chronological order of events). Year Three have now planned, drafted and edited their newspaper articles – they look forward to publishing them on the computers next week!
Today, we have distributed new home learning pyramids for our Dragon topic – please see the link below for the master copy.
We hope you have a brilliant weekend,
Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin.
