Spring 1- Week 4 26.1.26 to 30.1.26

This week we have had another busy and productive week in Year 3.

In maths, we focused on measurement. The children learned how to use rulers and metre sticks accurately, measuring in millimetres, centimetres and metres. They worked carefully to read scales correctly and compare different lengths.

In English, we began exploring persuasive letters. We looked at the features of persuasive writing, including strong arguments, clear reasons and emotive language. The class is building towards writing their own persuasive letters to the President of Brazil and to Amazon loggers, encouraging them to help save the Amazon rainforest.

In topic, we continued our learning about rainforests by studying the different layers of the rainforest. The children learned about the emergent layer, canopy, understory and forest floor, and how animals and plants are suited to each layer.

In RE, we thought about what it means to build the Kingdom of God through our actions. We also explored the Our Father prayer, discussing the meaning behind each line and how it links to our daily lives.

In computing, the children continued developing their skills using spreadsheets. They practised entering data and understanding how spreadsheets help us organise information.

In PSHE, we discussed what it means to stay safe online. The class talked about making safe choices, who to speak to if something worries them, and how to behave respectfully online.

In science, we learned about weathering and investigated the suitability of different rocks for different purposes. The children thought carefully about the properties of rocks and why some are better for building or other uses.
