Learning and Achieving Together
Welcome to Year 3 and Team Azure 2023/24
Your teacher is Ms Dyer
Your teaching assistant is Mrs Stretton
This week, in Maths, we have been finishing our work on fractions, adding and subtracting both unit and non unit fractions before solving a range of word problems. In English, we have been exploring explanation texts, identifying key features and converting them into flow charts.
In Science, we have continued to develop our learning about magnets. We have discovered the types of materials that are magnetic and created an experiment to test our hypothesis. We have also enjoyed our Science week activities. We have discovered the difference that adding fruit takes to the time jelly sets.
All of the children were incredible while on our visit to St Albans this week. They received a number of comments from people at the museum as well as our coach driver who shared how polite and conscientious the children were. We are so very proud of them. We started the day by walking up to the hypocaust, we loved seeing the beautiful mosaic and understanding the heating system the Romans had created. Then we went to visit the Roman wall and discussed how amazing it was that it was still standing all these years later.
In the afternoon, we got to visit the Verulamium museum. We explored the life of a Roman and followed their tour. We took part in a Roman Market and had the opportunity to explore a plethora of artefacts as well as being able to dress up as Romans and Celts.
