It is that time of the week, time to reflect on what a brilliant week we have had.

On Monday it was Earth Week. During this week we have reflected on how to look after our planet. In Guided Reading we read a story about how plastic pollution is destroying our oceans. We have been practising a song to sing for you in our class assembly next week. We are very excited for this.

In our maths lessons we have been learning to divide using the bus stop method. Although this has been tough at times to grasp, the Alligators have not given up.

In science we are continuing with our topic 'Animals, including humans.' This week we learnt all about how different animals and what they eat, looking at their teeth and how they have evolved to enable them to be herbivores or carnivores.]

In English this week we have been writing our 'End of Unit' write, summarising our novel 'The Firework-Maker and his Daughter.' All children have demonstrated great perseverance during our English lessons these last couple of weeks. Well done!

Welcome back Year 3!

This week the Alligators have had the most fantastic first week back. They have been well behaved, hard-working and given their all to everything!

In English this week our Grammar has been on writing in paragraphs and all have risen to this challenge, recognising when and how to start a new paragraph in their writing. We have been analysing paragraph from our current novel 'The Firework- Maker's Daughter.' The Alligators are becoming excellent writers, starting to proof check their writing and polishing with purple pen.

We finished our DT unit from last term but testing our wooden DT mazes. We then carried out an evaluation, stating what we would do differently next time.

As well as this, this week we carried out our first Forest School session. Here we explored our beautiful wooden areas in our grounds, foraging for flowers and fauna. In pairs we located tree leaves and spring flowers. It was lovely to do this in the glorious sunshine!
