Week 5 (03/07/17)

In English, we have continued to take inspiration from our topic text ‘Wild’, by Emily Hughes; however, this week we have focused on non-fiction. Some of the main character’s friends in the story are bears so we decided to research bears, making notes and planning a non-chronological report about them.  We talked about the features of non-fiction texts and how the index and contents can be used.

In maths we have been recapping what we know about fractions: identifying them, writing them and finding fractions of quantities (for example ¼ of 16).

We continued our RE work about Shabbat with Mrs Hyde on Wednesday morning, before heading onto the field in the sunshine to enjoy sports day. It was lovely to see so many of you there for the event and we hope that you enjoyed it.  Special thanks go to Mrs Scott who organised the whole thing, having never organised a Sports Day before – we’re sure you’ll agree she did a fantastic job!

On Thursday morning, we visited our new classroom and met our new Year 3 teacher, Miss Smith.  We will have another hand-up morning next Friday. Key Stage 2, here we come!

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Lucas, Mrs Marsh and Mrs Scott
