Year 3 have enjoyed another wonderful week of learning. Here's what we've been up to: 

Maths 
In Maths this week, we have been focusing on our multiplication and division skills. First, we look further at scaling up by completing an investigation using Lego bricks. Next, we looked at dividing. First, in to equal groups then into fractions. Finally, we looked at rounding remainders up or down depending on context. Next week, we will be looking at fractions. 

English
This week, we have continued reading Charlotte's 

Thematic
This week, we have been learning all about Mayan Gods. We researched a range and created a thought shower with the information we found. We then moved on to learn about the number system that the Maya used and compared this with how the Romans used numerals. Next week, we will be looking at the fall of the Mayans. 

For the children's love to learn this week, please could the children write a persuasive piece to their class teachers. They can persuade the teachers to do anything they like but should include simple, compound and complex sentences, modal verbs and persuasive language. 

Term 5 Dates for your Diary

23rd May – Be here, Be you, Belong celebration. Children can come to school wearing anything they feel represents them as part of our ‘Dress to Express’ day. We will have a parade at 2pm on the field to celebrate this, to which our families are all invited.

Have a wonderful weekend!
