As
always, it has been another action packed week in Sahara, with lots of hands on
learning and getting in to the swing of things.
We have all settled in nicely and are enjoying year 3.

| Our Novel this week is another by Dick King-Smith |
In
literacy, we have been continuing with our settings theme, with emphasis on describing
characters and places. Some of the children wrote fantastic descriptions using
many of the senses. They particularly enjoyed the activity of ‘Where am I?’ - a description of a certain place with a variety of
clues. We then looked at adding a
character to our setting and describing them.
We tried to trick our classmates by drawing 2 pictures for them to
choose from!
In
numeracy, we worked on our mental arithmetic’s and looked at ways of working
out problems in different ways. Such as,
adding 9, you could add 10 and then take away 1. We put our thinking caps on came up with lots
of different solutions.
Reminders:
Our
school is closed next Friday for all children, as the teachers have their “in
service” training day.
Afternoon
clubs will start on Monday 23rd, as do the private music lessons
within our school. The clubs list will
be on display on our noticeboard.
This
week’s maths homework was posted on My Maths. If you have trouble using this
site, then please come and see one of the teachers for help. Also now on the My
Maths site - once your child has logged on, there are links to Bug Club, the
school newsletter and the blog.
We
hope you have a fantastic weekend!
