Sedimentary sandwiches!



This week we had lots of fun in science learning about the three different rocks types. Why not ask you son or daughter if they can remember the names? Hopefully, they will   remember the one we tried to recreate in class, in the form of sandwiches! Messy but fun. Look at the photos below to see how they did it.


In both Maths groups we continue to look at number mainly addition and subtraction, both mental and more formal strategies. We will then move onto multiplication and division. In English we have been looking at the text type of Journalistic writing, which we linked with our creative currciulum of Egyptians. We heard all about Howard Carter and why he is remembered. Why not ask your son or daughter, what Carter did? Or perhaps you could ask them what the key features of a newspaper are?


Just in case anyone missed the year 3 email that was sent out yesterday, we have asked the children to bring in a smooth, potato sized pebble, a soil sample from the garden and a jam jar if possible please. A note about the comprehension, we tried to link this week's English task to newspapers and  asked the children to complete 'Robotic penguins' not the next comprehension in the book. This is obviously not a problem if the message didn't get home or post it note not in place.



The year 3's are all settling in and definitely getting into the routines of the Junior School. Thank you for your continued support with homework, routines and encouraging independence. It is really appreciated and very evident in the classroom. Thank you.
