Hi Everyone

We are going to be very busy this week with Christmas crafts, signing songs and practising our Christmas song on the ukueles. I can't wait!

The children are really enjoying our story Seal Surfer. They will be using speech marks for the first time as they learn to write conversations correctly. We will explore synonyms for said to make our writing more interesting. We will also use dictionaries to find the definition of new vocabulary that we uncover in the story. 

In Maths, the children will continue their addition of three digit numbers with a focus on the tens digit. They will be adding tens that cross over into the hundreds column above or below. We will also be exploring problem solving activities involving addition of three digit numbers. In addition, we will also be consolidating fractions work that we missed in Y2. 

We will be enjoying reading lots of different non fiction Stone Age texts and exciting new stories. I will introduce the children to DEAR (drop everything and read) that we will enjoy daily. 

Our spellings for this week continue with the prefix 'im'. They are challenging however we will be exploring the meaning of each word all week. 

impartial, immaturity, improper, improbable, impatiently, immovable, immeasurable, important

In Science, we will be exploring which materials form shadows when a torch is shone on them. The children will make and test their predictions whilst embedding their understanding of how  and why a shadow is formed. 

It will be a busy but exciting week. All our PE lessons are now on a Monday. Mr A has said that the children can wear gloves. Please continue to read with the children and practise their spellings and times tables. We really appreciate your continued support and as always, love working with Robins class. 

Please ask me via the admin email if you have any queries about anything. 

Many thanks

Mrs Rice and Mrs Brennan
