Hello all!

PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
On Monday morning the children will be having a science workshop as it is science week. If any of you are happy to volunteer on Monday morning to help run the workshop that would be very helpful. If you are able to help, please email me on ndavis@littleheath.herts.sch.uk

Note: There is no rugby club on Wednesday 13th March

Wow- what a week! I know you all had an excellent dinner on Monday evening with the delicious pizzas that were made in class. The children made the pizza dough from scratch, kneaded and rolled their dough and added their toppings. We definitely have natural born chefs in this class (and a couple of Heston Blumenthals too!)

As if that wasn’t exciting enough we had World Book Day this week – it was wonderful to see all the different fictional characters in school. My Year 3 classroom looked like a the Griffindor common room had invited a few of their friends over. We also read, analysed and discussed our class book The Journey by Francesca Sanna.

The children have begun to learn the lyrics to the Rock Bottom songs in class too as the production is fast approaching. It would be amazing if the children can practise these at home too (a great sing-song for the car, perhaps?). Below is the link for the lyrics and songs, the songs are also available to download for free from an Apple Music subscription (if you have this feature on an apple devise).

Music and lyrics have been posted on the KS2 Production website. This can be found on www.littleheathks2production.blogspot.com


This Week
Maths – This week we have been using division and multiplication to help us solve word problems. We were also looking at bar models and how we can use them to represent and solve problems.

English – This week we have been looking at how to research a topic and organise our findings into subheadings. The children have begun their research on their chosen topic.

Science – This week we have been discussing what plants need to grow. The children have been given a plant and have been given the responsibility of keeping it alive. The children have had to decide in their groups where they are placing their plant and how often they will water it. 

History – This week in history we were looking at who was in Britain before the Romans arrived.

D&T – We made and cooked our designed pizzas.

PSHE – Mrs Illot has been working with the children to have them set themselves personal fitness targets. If the children could continue to do this and fill in their sheet which they brought home. Thank you.

Next Week
Maths – We will be looking at fractions and fractions of amounts. Pre-learning will help the children as I know fractions can be daunting for some.
English- The children will continue their research and then write their report on their chosen animal.
Science- Review plants growth and discuss what we have learned.
History- Learn who Boudicca was and explore different opinions of her.
D&T- Evaluating the pizza.
