YEAR 3

As we followed Tom's journey through Argentina and Chile, we discovered the amazing Andes! We worked collaboratively to research this tremendous mountain range, and we were astounded by all the fascinating facts we found! Did you know that potatoes and tomatoes originated in the Andes? With all the wonderful knowledge bubbling in our heads, we were inspired to create an information booklet on the Andes to share with our family and friend. We used sub-headings to organise our work, and we combined simple and compound sentence structures to engage our readers.

We have been super busy mastering the skills of multiplication and division in maths this week, and we have enjoyed exploring our new app Times Table Rockstars! The children are excited to bring their log in details home and get practising their number skills.

We had a great time participating in the brilliant sports workshop with Yarm School on Tuesday. The children enjoyed all the sports activities on offer, including hockey and netball, and it was great to see such collaboration and team spirit from the children across both schools. A big thank you to Miss Flockhart for organising this fantastic event.

Next week our leaning journey will take us to Bolivia, and we are excited to learn about volcanoes! We need lots of small drinks bottles and newspaper for an exciting art and science activity. If you have any at home that you are able to spare, please bring them in!
