It was wonderful to see so many important family at this morning’s assembly. Year 3 were very excited to perform the two poems they’d worked collaboratively to write. All the words and actions were their own and they listened and shared each other’s ideas, to come up with the final versions you saw today.
They have also been busy creating something else for the many Mums, Grandmas, aunts and important women in their lives, but that will be a surprise for the weekend.
We have started to learn about money – how you can make amounts differently and use different ways to add them up. Money is something which really benefits from practical use, for which there’s been little opportunity the last few years. So if there aren’t many real-life opportunities, playing at shop – or Monopoly, or the many Orchard Toys games which are available in all good charity shops – can be a good substitute. One question we answered this week was “Why is there no 79 pence piece?”
Spellings for homework are on Google Classroom. Please do let us know if you have any problems accessing it. There’s no printing or submission requirements – just information for you to use. If you’d like to send a message saying how you’ve got on, or any problems or queries, please do so.
The class library now has some AMAZING books in it. They will start to be sent home next week. A record book will keep a note of all books which go out and to where. It would be wonderful to keep the books rotating as much as possible, so as many children as possible can enjoy them.
I’m sorry – no photos this week. Last week looks like being busy and varied and I will look to post some then.
Have a lovely weekend and, in particular, Mother’s Day.
