In literacy this week we have been continuing to rehearse and improve our News Reports on the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. In order for us to make our News reports as fantastic as possible, we have been engaging in self-assessment as a team. We recorded a practise run, so that we had the chance to watch our report back. We then looked at our Skills rubric and were able to independently identify which areas we need to focus on in order to improve. We then discussed it as a team and wrote ourselves 'next steps'. This was really helpful, and now we know how to make our final recording the best it can be! | In maths this week we have been finding the matching decimals and fractions. We applied this to real life money situations and made giant number lines on our tables to show the fractions and corresponding decimals. We then went on to add fractions, beginning with the same denominators. We developed to adding mixed numbers with the same denominator and unlike fractions where we needed to apply our equivalent fraction skills. Some of us really challenged ourselves and headed for mastering by practising adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators. Why don't you try some at home?

Year 3
LiteracyIn Literacy, Year 3 have been writing diary entries based on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii. We wrote drafts, edited and redrafted. We had to remember to write in the first person, using past tense. We used adjectives and similes to make our words paint a picture. When we were happy with our diary entries, we published them using microsoft word and google docs. We used an art technique using tea to make them look old and authentic. | MathsIn maths, Year 3 have been practising addition of three digit numbers using the column method. We have been generating 3 and 4 digit numbers and adding them together vertically. It is important to ensure that numbers are lined up the correct column to represent it's value. We have become very good at this. Next week, we will move onto learning fractions. |

and perform our assembly.
We hope you enjoyed it!
Next week we will be talking about...winter animals and hibernation.
