This week we have been doing our writing project working from Traditional Fairy stories. First of all we drew a story map with characters and places on it. I hope the parents who came today enjoyed the games we played. Today Year 3 wrote some very potent spells for the wicked witch. Some examples were - to make you strong, wicked, naughty and to make a rainbow.
We have been partitioning and ordering numbers in maths.
Adding two digit and two digit numbers together and we are going to work on subtraction using a number line and adding on next week. We are learning some songs from Oliver. It is lovely to hear that some of the children are singing them at home!
I hope the weather holds and you have an enjoyable weekend.

3rd October 2008

Hurrah! Blog working again I hope.
Star of the week Cheeney Sheppard
fantastic artist and mathematician!
We have been researching more about the Victorians through a video about a young girl's life. Year 3 remembered all of it so do ask them about Maggie at school, working as a maid, working in the factory and working as a photographer.
We have taken a photo of the class which copies the photo we found of a Victorian class at Luckwell - hope to get it on the blog!
We have been working hard at our number bonds,
multiplying, partitioning numbers, doubling and halving - anyone wishes to learn some techniques for tables will be happy to show you after school next Thursday.
We have been drawing portraits of ourselves and learning how to draw in proportion ears, noses eyes and a mouth!
We have been looking at circuits in Science.
A very busy week as well as composing our own street seller songs!
In Literacy we have been comparing playscripts and prose and learning the wonderful story Rumplestiltskin.
Have a good weekend and I hope everyone smiles as it's smile day today!
