Year 3

This half term has been a busy one in Maths and we have enjoyed our learning. We began by recapping our knowledge of place value and then adding to this by working with numbers up to 1000. We then learnt about addition and subtracting with renaming. This was a really tricky idea to get used to, however we kept working hard and did not give up!

In Literacy we have been using the book, ‘The Truth about the Three Little Pigs’ to help us write an inner thought for the character of the wolf and then we wrote our own version of a scene from the book.

We applied key writing skills such as expanded noun-phrases, and practised applying direct speech and inner thoughts in our writing to help the reader understand what the character of the wolf is really like.

We really enjoyed the book which we read as our class novel.

We are enjoying learning lots of new writing skills to help us become even better authors!

In our next unit, we will be using the book, ‘The First Drawing’ by Mordicai Gerstain and writing diary extracts in the voice of the main character and we continue to learn new writing skills and use previous taught writing skills.
