    This week

    A busy week in English, we have learnt: what an imperative verb is and how to use it! When we should use exclamation marks, we have looked at some of the problems with plastic pollution in our reading and finally, we have planned letters to write to Julian Lewis to ask him to petition Boris Johnson to ban single use plastics. 

    In Mathematics, we have taken small steps into understanding how fractions are created. We firstly looked at Europe as our whole and countries within Europe as our parts of our whole. We have moved onto understanding how to write fractions and what a unit fraction is. 

    In geography, we looked at wind turbines and solar farms and asked why they are becoming more popular. 

    In PE we rolled around on mats a lot. This was part of our movements in gymnastics topic. Outdoor PE, we looked at sidestepping and pivoting, which we then used to play a game of piggy-in-the-middle.

    A lovely week!

    This has been an active week in Year 3, but the children have taken to it with enthusiasm. We were lucky enough to be given a book each for free from Karen who owns the COOP. The book inspired us to create a tree from plastic waste (see results below). 

    In Maths, we have investigated the relationship between mm, cm and m. We have measured everything, from our noses to the ends of pencils. We have converted the units and found halves and quarters of them. 

    In English we started a new documentary unit, call The Majestic Plastic Bag. It showed a mockumentary of how a plastic bag ends up in the Pacific Ocean from a supermarket. 

    In art we had a model pose for us whilst we undertook drawing challenges, where we were not allowed to take our pencil off the paper until we had finished our picture. After, we were only allowed to use straight lines to draw the model. 

    Book changes: Wednesday and Friday

    For next Wednesday ...

    Could all children bring in plastic rubbish that has been washed. The plastic rubbish must be cuttable using the school scissors and not too sharp once it has been cut. Could they also bring plastic that can be wrapped, so that we can wrap it around a thick tube. All will become clearer next week. 

    This week

    We have been writing our first drafts of our wolf leaflets. The aim was to convince Europeans that wolves should be given a place to stay in Europe. 

    In Maths we have continued with money. If you get a change to practice and play with coins, this would be useful as coins are becoming used less. 

    Our Geography topic is Sustainability for this half term.  Students should develop an idea about what we can do to make our environment better and what the problems are. 

    For PE we are working on gymnastics and bench ball. The skills we are focussing on are challenging yourself understanding where we are with our learning.
