Our attendance for last week was 95%. This needs to improve!! We had 4 late mark.
On Monday, it was Remembrance Day. We watched a video which explained the importance about this and we then created a few crafts to help us remember those who gave their lives.
On Thursday, we also had our Stone Age Workshop. It was an incredible day and we had so much fun looking at the artefacts, tools and spears.
In English, we started our new text, Arthur and the Golden Rope. So far we made predictions about the title and what we think will happen. We also completed our very own job advert applying for a post at Brownestone's inventions. Keep tuned to find out if we get the job!
In Maths, we started our new unit on multiplication and division. So far, we have recapped on the 3 times table. We have looked at making groups of 3 and dividing by this amount. We have been developing our rapid recall in this area and Times Table Rockstars will help the children in this area.
In French, we recapped on classroom instructions and then learnt how to ask for our friends name and give a reply in French! Check out the videos of us practising on our Twitter account @MRPAyear3b
In Computing we have begun our next unit on Algorithms. We watched a video that explained this term and learnt that it is a set of instructions and created our own using left, right, up and down directions and numerical values.
We finished Design and Technology unit. We made our own soup using different utensils! We were so impressed with our chopping and peeling especially when we didn't cry from the onions! Our soup tasted delicious and we hope you enjoyed it when it was brought home too.
In R.E, we started our new unit on Hinduism. We wrote our own fact file after watching an informative video.
In Music, we have been using the drums with Mr White and are developing our understanding of rhythm and pitch.
In Reading, our text this week revolved around a News Flash, we have been developing our dictionary and thesaurus skills through lots of clarifying sessions. We have also been using our skimming and scanning skills to locate answers to a range of comprehension questions.
Our Learning Hero assembly was postponed due to our workshop.
Our Championship Point winners were Kyle, Lusiya and Savannah.
Our winning house was Self - Belief!
Key information:
Swimming is EVERY MONDAY. PLEASE ensure that your child's clothing is labelled and they are given a bag to carry this in. We have had lots of items go missing and this would help us greatly.
P.E is EVERY WEDNESDAY. Again please ensure a full kit is provided each week. This can remain in school and children can take it home at the end of term.
Home Learning is given out on Wednesdays/Thursdays. Children are expected to complete this by the following Monday. If this is not completed then they will be expected to attend home work club.
Reading books are changed as much as possible throughout the week. The more we read the better writers we will become so we encourage as much as possible but expect at least a book to be changed once a week.
