Our learning this week…

In RE, we have been continuing to explore the bible story of the Angel Gabriel appearing to Mary to tell her that she would have baby Jesus. We talked about the trust that Mary showed in God and we looked at two artists impressions of this event, considering how each picture was similar and different.

In English the children have been continuing their work linked to the story ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. This week we have been building our understanding and use of some of the more challenging vocabulary in the text. The children completed some dictionary work and then thought of opposite words.

In Maths the children have been developing their understanding of finding equal groups and linking this to multiplication and division. This week we have focused in particular on dividing and multiplying by 4, we have been using a doubling and halving method to help us find the answers more efficiently.

In PE Year 3 have been focusing on invasion games, in particular rugby and dodgeball, this week they have practised using a range of strategies to ensure they can pass the ball to their team with increased speed and accuracy,

In Computing, we have started our new topic exploring a programming tool, ‘Scratch’. The children had the opportunity to create their own sprite and backgrounds, they were able to programme their sprite to complete a range of simple instructions.

On Friday, we held a non-uniform day to raise money for the charity ‘Children in Need’. Well done and thank you to everyone for your support!
