Final week next week, hasn’t it gone by so quickly!!

Maths

This week we have been learning about time. We have been practising reading analogue clocks once again including reading times to the nearest five minutes and even to the nearest minute. We practised them in our books and also made big clocks on the playground and were the arms of the clock pointing to times that were shouted out.

Thematic

This week we finished our topic on Rainforests. We looked at the purpose of seeds and the different ways that they can spread. After that, we completed our end of term kahoot quiz and did really well. We ended up recapping our knowledge of the different types of deforestation that can happen, what the tubes in the plant can do and finally what the root hairs do. You’ve done a fantastic job this term, really well done!

English

In English, we used our knowledge of rainforests from Thematic to make a non-chronological report about the rainforests of the world. We looked at the animals that you can find there, where the rainforests are, what the layer of the rainforest are as well as deforestation. We made sure there were titles, technical vocabulary, subtitles, paragraphs and pictures with captions. They came out really well!

Home learning

Write a letter to the Year 2’s telling them what Year 3 is like and what they think the Year 2’s should look forward to!

Reminders:

• Please return any sports kit as well as any school reading books and reading records by the end of the school year.

• 17th - 19th July - Transition days at school. Children will come to their classroom as normal on the Monday morning and will be collected from the top field with their new teacher at the end of the day. On Tuesday, the children will go to their new classroom door. These are the two doors nearest the staircase up to the top field (the other side of the conservatory!) Please ask if you are unsure.

• 20th July - inflatable fun and class parties. Please bring in food or drinks to share amongst the class. 

• 21st July - 2pm finish.

We're really looking forward to having you for the final week!
