Week Ending 30/09/16 in Year Three

This week in Year Three we have been learning some new words, some new methods of calculations and new ways to make our stories jump from the page like a gazelle (this is a simile).

In Maths we have been using a method of stand up addition and subtraction that has enabled us to perform calculations with both five digit numbers and decimals! 

In English we have been learning what adjectives are, making an “adjective bank” where we can use our adjectives to make our sentences more friendly and more exciting for our readers and we have been learning what a simile and a metaphor is. From here we will move towards using these skills in our creative writing.

In our Topic lessons we have been developing our ability to use tone in our sketches. The children have completed a tonal chart and are now applying their skills to a more complex sketch.

With all these new skills we're looking forward to using them more and developing our abilities.
