Year 3 have had a wonderful week of learning. We have been bird watching, exploring suspense in our writing, and learning ways to greet people in French.

Maths
In Maths this week, we have learnt to regroup when adding, and what an incredible job Year 3 have done at that! Next week, we are going to be developing our subtraction skills.
Well done for a great effort in the TTRS Battle this week!

English
This week in English, we have been learning techniques to add suspense to a narrative. In Week 4, we will be learning how to weave action and dialogue into our writing.

Thematic
In Thematic this week, we have been learning all about skeletons, vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as how our joints and muscles work. Next week in Thematic, we are going to be moving on to Design and Technology, learning about links and levers.
