In English we have been reading the story Polonious the Pit Pony and we had a special delivery at the start of the week. There were missing posters all around school. We had to make predictions about what this may mean for the characters in the story and we predicted where he might be. The children enjoyed lots of drama and role play activities based around our story such as hot seating and freeze frame!

In Maths we have been focusing on number and place value. To help us partition 2 and 3 digit numbers we have been exploring with the place value counters and used the part, part whole model too. We learnt about the digits in our number and the values that they represented.

In Art we had another special delivery from local artist; John Smith who sent us a challenge. We have been working very hard this week to refine our oil pastel skills in order to create a piece of art work which will be sent to his gallery. We have been learning about figurative drawing and how to create a warm or cool background.

Myself and Miss Burnip are extremely proud of how well the children have settled into life in Year 3! Keep up the great work!
