What a fantastic week we have had in Team 3!

In our math's learning, we have concluded our learning about fractions. We explored how we can add fractions and learnt that when the denominator is the same, we can add the top part of the fraction (the numerator) without changing the bottom number (denominator). We then explored this learning in a range of question types such as word problems and problem solving.

In our English lessons, we learnt how to use inverted commas to create dialogue in a story and how we can then use this to progress a story. We learnt how to use a range of verbs that can replace 'said' (such as ‘whispered’ or ‘replied’) and how we can also use adverbs (such as ‘gently’) to complement the selected verb.

Our spelling focus this week was the 'ation' sound. We have looked at how this changes a root word and the spelling rules to apply this. You can help at home by practising the following words:

nation

information

presentation

deflation

generation

adoration

In our afternoon learning, we continued developing our knowledge and understanding about different techniques we can use to model clay. We created the bodies of our terracotta warriors, then added facial features before using a range of tools to create the armour etc. The children thoroughly enjoyed these practical sessions and their art work was amazing!

Have a fantastic weekend Team 3 :)
