  Hello Year 4... The second week back has been busy as always! We have been planning and writing our Marcy Brownstone story, studying area and continued our topic of Africa with South Africa as a focus. This has involved studying different biomes within Africa and learning about Nelson Mandela. Homework has gone out. Additionally, we have had a Mental Health Workshop (NHS led) which works well with our My Happy Mind sessions. Also, Christmas is on its way- rehearsals have started...

  Remember to bring Albany Adventure slips in as well as Christmas lunch replies. Posters are up about what will be happening in December each day for Christmas

  Spellings for next week are below. 🙂

  This week has been another wonderful week in year 3! The children have enjoyed exploring soil and what it is made up of as well as really starting to understand volcanoes. We can all now use both column addition and column subtraction confidently. We have started writing out final newspapers up in neat and feel very proud of both the content and the presentation of the work.

  It has been lovely to see everyone after the half term break and we have got straight back into our routines and learning. In Maths, we have been learning how to use long division and everyone is trying really hard to master this method. This week in English, we have been developing our understanding of formal language and co-ordinating conjunctions, which we have used in our non-chronological reports. We have started our new History topic, which is all about the Victorians and we found out about some of the key events from this era.

   

  Here are the new spellings for next week:

  We have had a fantastic start to the new half term and have settled right back into school life. In English we are continuing our unit of work based on the book 'Hidden Figures'. We look forward to writing a newspaper report about this next week. While looking at the book we have had some really nice discussions about our British Values and Protected Characteristics. In our maths lessons, we have been looking at multiples, factors and prime numbers. This is a tricky topic but we have all been working really hard in our lessons.

   

  Our new topic this half term is 'The Indus Valley Civilisation'. How exciting! We can't wait to delve into the past and use our skills as historians to find out about this marvelous civilisation. We have also started a new topic in science. This half term we are looking at forces. This week we investigated the different types of forces and the effects they have on objects. We also conducted our first experiment for this topic. We collected objects around the classroom and measured their mass in g/kg and their weight in newtons.

   

   Please see this weeks spelling list below.

   

  Have a lovely weekend! 🙂 h

We will be working up to writing a narrative. We are coming to the end of the Addition and Subtraction unit and will be moving on to Multiplication and Division- keep learning times tables. We also completed the shadufs that we have been researching and designing- they will soon be coming home!

  Year 3 have had an amazing start back. The children are very excited about their new topic of Volcanoes! We have only begun to scratch the surface of all the things we will be looking in to. The children have also shown some real resilience in maths this week as we have started to learn the column method for both addition and subtraction. We are looking forward to next week and publishing our newspaper articles.
