French Pancake Afternoon for Year 3 and 4 Friday 23rd February

We are holding a French Pancake afternoon for Year 3 and 4 on Friday 23rd February. As "Pancake Day" took place during the holiday week, we thought that we would have our own little celebration a week later.....in French.
The children will be learning to politely ask for their pancake (crepe) in French. They will also need to order their topping of choice in French too.
We will also be singing and dancing to some traditional French tunes.
We would be very grateful to those of you that can help us by providing some pre-made pancakes and toppings/lemons etc.
Many thanks,
Mr. MacBean and Mrs Johnson

Year 3 - Telling the Time

After the half-term holiday, the children in Year 3 will be working on "Time" in their Mathematics sessions. It would be great if you spend some time practising this during the holiday.

For your information the curriculum at Year 3 states the following very challenging "learning objectives":

Use vocabulary such as o'clock, a.m./ p.m., morning, afternoon, noon and midnight.

Tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks

Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute.

Compare durations of events (for example to calculate the time taken by particular events or tasks).
