Y3 w.e 21.6.19 Looking Back & Forth

Friday 21st June 2019 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 3

Looking back:

In maths we have converted amounts of liquids, ml è L and visa versa and began to read and write persuasive arguments in English … this week they were based on disgruntled traditional tale characters, the Billy Goat’s Gruff were not happy with Trevor Troll’s neighbourly behaviour!

Year 3 – Pupils’ Highlights:

• I liked learning about plants and drawing them, I eat plants everyday as I am vegan.
• When we used clay, I liked the part where we flattened it out because it was fun and we got to squish it!
• I enjoyed drawing the Bag For Life pictures, mine was a bird.
• Swimming! It was fun because we got to do lots of practise of our breaststroke. We also got to swim in the deep end, the very deep end! I enjoyed swimming this week – I got moved up!
   

Family discussion questions:

• What do the leaves on a plant do for it?  What two things do the roots allow the plant to do?
• 1 Litre  = 1000ml, so  5000ml  = …… L
• True or false? 250ml is the same as 2 ½ L.  Explain.
• Can you give at least 2 features we would expect to see in a persuasive argument?
   

Looking forward:
Next week we will be continuing our work on Medicine and Healthcare as well as finding fractions of amounts in maths lessons.  We will be writing a more detailed persuasive letter based on an alternative traditional tale of The 3 Little Wolves and the big Bad Pig.
