Year 3 open Lunch: Thank you!

Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came for Open Lunch today and to the staff for organising it.

We have had great feedback:

‘Great ideas to use at home and useful insight into SPaG focus/national Y3 curriculum. Thank you’

‘A useful insight into the methods you are using to teach the kids.’

‘Really helpful session, we will definitely be trying out some of the suggested spelling activities at home! Thank you.’

‘Good clear advice. Great ideas to use at home. Thank you for the time.’

Spellings due 2nd October 2019

To support with understanding definitions for spellings, the ‘Collins children’s Cobuild dictionary’ is a very useful tool.

Due to the changes in the Literacy curriculum children in Year 6 are expected to be secure with all KS2 spellings. There will be no choice of spellings, in terms of degree of difficulty. All children, of all abilities, need to learn the following for next week:

exercise experience
separate history
disappear possible
notice occasion
often reign

Rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000

4S and 4NJ worked in groups to create posters explaining how to round to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.

Sleep Assembly!

Next Monday there is a sleep assembly happening at school. The school council will be taking charge to produce an assembly about tips and suggestions about the importance of a good sleep.

This is be a normal assembly for the children.

Rounding in year 4!

This week the children have been learning how to round to 10, 100 and 1000. For the final lesson, the children created learning videos to tell people what they now know.

Below are 3 examples… in these videos the children were given a number and they had to explain their method to find the answer.

We hope you find them useful as a reminder in the future!
