What is causing the Rainforest to disappear?

 Today Year 3 finished watching and making notes on a number of videos about the Rainforest. I wonder if you asked your child what is causing the Rainforest to disappear, could they tell you some of the reasons? This afternoon in their partners they made posters showing key facts. 

In Maths we started Unit 2: Addition and subtraction. Today's lesson focussed on adding and subtracting hundreds for example 700- ?= 200. They needed to understand how to use a whole part model and read the questions to understand what it was asking them to do. 

During our whole class reading session today we looked at adding speech marks to an extract from our story The Iron Man. 

Hopefully you have all received the message about the farm trip tomorrow. The children can come to school in home trousers, normal school top, trainers and a coat. They can then put on their wellies to walk to the farm. Spare trousers might be a good idea as it will probably be muddy after todays rain! We have a few pairs of spare wellies on the rack outside the classroom if you do not have wellies.
