Reading books can be changed regularly as before, please ensure an adult signs in the reading record to say that you have read at home and completed the book. You could write your own comment too about the book you have read. You can read other books of your own too and these can also be recorded in your reading record. Please have your reading book and record in school every day – we will provide you with a wipeable plastic zipper wallet to use to bring books home so that these can be cleaned easily between home and school.

English - How to wash a Woolly Mammoth
This week in English we have been reading 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth'. As part of our instruction writing we washed our own animal (that had got covered in paint) and discussed the steps to wash our animal using imperative verbs.
Topic - Stone Age
As part of our topic on Stone Age we became 'hunters' and 'gatherers'. We imagined we were living in Stone Age time and worked together to find animals to hunt and berries, nuts and plants to gather.
Science - Rocks
In Science this week we have been testing rocks. We tested whether a rock was durable by scratching and used water to test whether a rock was permeable and dense.
Maths- Partitioning
This week in Maths we have been recognising the value of a 3 digit number and partitioning. We have used practical equipment to make the numbers and breaking the number down into parts.
First week back!
We are having a super first week back! Here are some of our classroom displays in 3WH linked to our learning this half term. We will be learning about the 'Stone Age' in our topic lessons. Our English lessons will also link to our topic we will be reading books linked to the Stone Age, our first story is 'Stone Age Boy'. Our focus in Maths is number and place value. In Science we are learning about Rocks and Soils.
