This week in Year 3

In English this week we have been learning how to use persuasive language in our writing. Year 5 came and read their persuasive pieces to us on Monday and we wrote our own persuasive pieces about visiting South Africa. We then reorded our writing onto Apple Clips to make an advert. Super work Year 3!

In Maths, we learnt how to calculate fractions of shapes and numbers this week. We used our times tables and division facts to help us.

In art this week we explored mark making by different artists. Have a look in our galleries.

In Science this week we investigated reflections and how light sources and reflective objects differ. We had some great discussions and debates about how light works.

We also had lots of visitors this week. On Friday, TriKids come to school and set up a triathlon for us to complete. Everyone gave it their all and supported each other brilliantly. On Thursday, we had a dance session, learning new dance skills and moves to Dance the Night by Dua Lipa! Check out our gallery!

Have a great weekend
