Topic "Paintings, Portraits and Photographs"
Our visit to
the Art Gallery this morning went
very well. The children were allocated a group [of mixed Year 3 classes] and they
took part in two art workshops focusing on the art work of Hungarian–French artist Victor
Vasarely. There was an opportunity to draw and design based on lines and
patterns and then an opportunity to create patterns with cut-out shapes. Please
ask the children about their thoughts on this style of Art and whether they
enjoyed the activities.
Maths
We looked at identifying
patterns, number bonds and we attempted to answer multi-step word problems.
Literacy
In Literacy we have continued the unit on Adventure and Mystery writing.
Our focus was on characters and on using adjectives, which was also our “Big
Write” topic this week.
Assessment Tasks
This week the children completed some assessment tests.
The results will be used to assist with teacher assessments and you will receive
the results along with an End of Year Report ( due out in June).
Other
Year 3 Zanka residential Camp
A list of what’s required to be packed in your
child’s bag is copied below for your reference. Please encourage your son or
daughter to think of what he/she will need and to check off on the list.
The
weather forecast seems to be an improvement on this week. However, there will
be times when we will be getting wet! Spare or old clothes including shoes
would be useful to have in the bag.
If you should have any further queries please do
not hesitate to ask.
This afternoon
we attended Year 5 Aqua Assembly. We
thoroughly enjoyed their performance of the life and works of William
Shakespeare including the modern ‘rap’ at the end.
Enjoy your weekend!
