What a Wonderful Week of Learning! We’ve had such a great week filled with lots of learning and fun! Everyone has been working hard. In PE, this week we’ve been developing our throwing and catching skills. It’s been wonderful to see how much more confident and accurate everyone has become. We’ve practised our technique, built coordination and supported each other as we played.
Maths
In Maths, we have been learning about fact families and exploring different ways of subtracting. We have been making connections between numbers and finding clever strategies to solve problems. It has been brilliant to see their confidence grow as they explained their thinking and shared their methods with each other. Next week, we will be continuing our subtraction and subtract 2 digit numbers.
English
In English, we’ve been busy week learning all about playscripts! We have learnt how to write our own playscripts, including using colons correctly and adding stage directions using brackets. Next week, we will be writing our own playscripts for the next part of Stone Age Boy.
Thematic
In our Thematic learning, we have been exploring history and science. We discovered what soil is made up of, learnt about the different achievements of the Stone Age, and discussed how farming changed from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. The children asked fantastic questions and showed lots of curiosity as we pieced together how life developed through these periods. Next week, the children will compare the changes in culture from the Stone age to the iron age.

Term 1 Dates for the Diary

TTRS
Ideally, children should aim to play for 5-10 minutes each day, the expectation is that by the end of Year 3 children will know the 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables. TTRS is designed to be a fun way of learning times tables. TTRS is broken down into 8 game types.
Gig – this creates a heatmap to show times tables knowledge up to 12x12
Garage – this is a teacher set times tables game. Please complete this at home.
Jamming – a game to develop times tables confidence
Studio - games the are aimed at motivating (how many can you do in a set time etc) after 10 games this will give a rock status.
Festival and Arena – you can compete against other children from other schools
Rock Slam – you can choose to challenge anyone from within the school (adults and children)
Have a wonderful weekend.
