Year 3 Learning WC 21.01.19

By Anonymous
English

 This week in English, there will be a heavy focus on the accurate use of inverted commas to show direct speech. We teach the children 4 rules in the application of this punctuation mark:
- Inverted commas to open and close speech
- Punctuation to go before the closing inverted commas
- New speaker, new line
- Use synonyms for said (e.g. whispered, exclaimed, replied, etc.)

Maths

 We will be continuing to focus on fractions this week in maths, looking particularly at:
- finding fractions of shapes
- finding fractions of quantities
- adding and subtracting fractions
- comparing and ordering fractions

When finding fractions of a quantity, the children should know to divide by the denominator and multiply by the numerator.

Regarding the maths workshop delivered on Tuesday, the office will send out the information delivered via Parent Mail.

Our next task is to create a news report in small groups to publicise the discovery of Skara Brae!
