Summer 1 Week 4

The children have had another exciting week in school learning so much about the Romans. After our Fort trip last week, we have continued to explore what the Romans were like and how they came to invade Britain. The children learned that it took 3 attempts and it was Emperor Claudius who succeeded.

The children have started to plan for their independent piece of writing. They will be writing a diary entry as Iliona watching a fight between a gladiator and an animal. The children are going to use adventurous adjectives and similes to describe the event. Who will win …?

In Maths, Year 3 have moved on to learn about mass and capacity. The children are learning how to find what a scale goes up in and the difference between g and kg.

The children are becoming technological whizzes on the chromebooks! They have been loving programming different sprites to move in different ways, and guessing what the sprites will do based on the code. The children have even included different backgrounds and sounds. 

Year 3 have also completed planning their castle design and are looking forward to building these. If you have any spare materials eg cardboard boxes, kitchen role tubes, empty pringle tubes, anything triangular/rectangular/circular that you want to get rid of, please send these in with your child next week.

Home Learning

Our Home Learning this week is an activity sheet called, ‘Measure mass in grams,’ which ties closely into our new unit. To complete this, the children must work out what the scale is going up in. Please ensure this is completed and brought in by Wednesday.

Next week

3C will be going swimming on Friday 15th May. Please ensure your child has everything they need.

Next week is SATs week for our Year 6’s - good luck to those children we know you’ll smash it!!!
