A week of Awesome Progress - 25th September 2020

 What  a brilliant week we've had in year 3.

We've written like we've never written before and retold the story of The Great Kapok tree using expanded noun phrases and speech punctuation independently in our writing.  So many children were so proud of what they achieved, they just had to read them aloud to the rest of the class.

Well Done!

We've experienced the deepest depths of the learning challenge pit in getting to grips with number lines to 1000.  With our 3 top tips we have conquered the number line and can now use it more flexibly when thinking about the value of number.

Our three top tips are:

1.  Look for the numbers at the beginning and the end.

2.  What is it counting in?

3.  Test it out.

We are coming to the end of our first unit in Power Maths for year 3 and all of the children are much more confident with the value of numbers and are ready for the next challenge!

Well Done!

So many children managed to get full marks in this week's spellings, definitely an improvement on last week.

Amazing!

Learning the French Alphabet was a fun on Thursday.  We spelt our names using the French Pronunciation of the letters.  Lots of children asked to take a copy of the alphabet home, just in case it didn't get there and they wanted to practice, here it is:



Magnifique!

Paper Rainforest plants, Happa Zoming, Harvest and Rainforest Songs and an extra reward playtime as the children completed the next part of the class reward chart completed our week!

Brilliant!

Finally here are the links to two songs that we are currently listening to and learning in school:

Let's Harvest

The Rainforest Song

No wonder they are so tired by Friday!  We are expecting even more amazing things next week.  Have a great weekend!
