Literacy In Literacy this week, we have been making connections with our history learning. We are being time travelling news reporters! We have traveled back in time to the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in Pompeii on the 24th of August 79 AD. We have been learning about the features of a news report, and have begun to write down our ideas and start our scripts. We are including witnesses who luckily survived the deadly eruption and are going to share their terrifying stories with us! | Maths In maths we have continued our fraction learning. We had a lot of fun experimenting with lego to make fractions and then find their equivalents. This was quite challenging so we needed a lot of practise with this skill. |
Year 3
Literacy Year 3 have continued their diary writing about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of Pompeii. It has been great investigating and learning about this eruption and imagining what it must have been like for the people. The focus in literacy has been to edit and redraft their writing before publishing the final piece of work. When editing and redrafting the learners needed to check spellings and ensure that their writing was grammatically correct. They have learnt that it is important to consider who will be reading their diaries. They are publishing their diary entries onto a scroll with illustrations which will be displayed in the classroom. | Maths Maths learning this week has focused on strategies for addition of 2 digit and 3 digit numbers. The learners have been practising using partitioning as well as learning column addition. To do this the learners have been practising and further developing their understanding of the place value of the digits in 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers. |
