Year 3 Summer 2 Week 3
Well done, Year 3- another fantastic week at school!
In English this week, we have been working on using volume and expression when reading poetry. The children have really enjoyed practising their performance skills and exploring the meaning behind different poems.
In Maths, we finished our topic on Shapes and have now moved into Statistics. We have been learning how to take information from a table and present it in a pictogram.
In Science, we continued our work on Curious Critters. We created our own compost boxes using old fruit and vegetables, bark, and sand. These have been left outside, and over the next few weeks we will observe whether any insects begin to decompose the materials.
In History, we learned about the Roman Empire’s attempts to invade Scotland. We explored why the Romans wanted to invade and why their attempts were unsuccessful.
This afternoon, KS2 had an amazing time at Sports Day. Despite the high temperatures, all of the children performed brilliantly and had lots of fun.
Next week is Assessment Week, so lessons will look a little different.
As always, please continue to read five times a week and play TTRS for five minutes, five times a week.
