Term 4

We will be publishing what we are learning during each term throughout the year. Watch this space to see what is happening in Term 4 in and out of the classroom and for useful information for Ash and Silver Birch classes.

Excellent literacy progress for year 3

Year 3 have been further developing their excellent writing skills this term. The children now know what a generaliser is and used them confidentially in their non-chronological writing about a mythical creature.

After looking at the key features of an adventure story, the children have innovated the text to write their own stories with a clear beginning, middle and end. The children have really focussed on including fronted adverbials in order to add detail about the time, place or manner of the following verbs as well as including dialogue with inverted commas.

We have been delighted that the children have also included many of the previously taught skills including, subordinating conjunctions, effective verbs and expanded noun phrases. There has been some great progress in the writing across Year 3. Well done everybody.

The next round of pen licences have been awarded and the children are relishing the opportunity to proudly show off their presentation skills. Next term, our handwriting focus will be on joining letters as some children are raring to go.
