Week Beginning 30/11/15


This weeks blog is brought to you by Lucia, Ella and Miss Palmer.

Maths

In maths this week we have been telling the time.We have learnt to tell the time using analogue and digital clocks. We are now well on the way to being able to tell the time to the nearest minute digitally and work out time differences.





Literacy

This week we have written a whole story! We have written it using paragraphs and fronted adverbials. Our stories had a clear structure and lots of description. Also we watched Pingu to help us with our work! We have been replacing words for said. e.g roared, shouted, screamed, bellowed and lots more. Also, we have been learning how to use speech punctuation correctly. Miss Palmer came up of a game to help us remember which words to include in the speech marks.


Art and Geography

We have been combining our geography and art work this week whilst studying the work of Patrick Heron. We have been looking at maps and satellite images to create abstract paintings (using thick acrylic paint) in bold colours. 


Reading Cafe

This week was also our first reading cafe and what a fantastic turn out! Thank-you so much to all that came. We really enjoyed having the chance to be creative with our family and we produced some stunning, imaginative dragons. 









In other news...

Don't forget that this weekend is the last opportunity to write stories for our story writing competition. All entries must be in this Monday. 

Also, a massive well done to our Year 3 gymnasts for achieving second place in the inter-schools competition.
