YEAR 3

FROM THE CLASSROOM

This week, the Year 3 students have continued to focus on how we can show respect towards our friends. They have been sharing different ways that they have shown respect and how other students have been respectful towards others. 

We have been exploring fractions, looking at half, quarters, thirds, fifths and eighths. 

We have used all of our knowledge around the writing tools used to persuade a reader and have been busy creating some amazing persuasive texts using our understanding. 

We have also been looking at the creative ways that are used in advertisements to persuade us to buy different foods. 

It has been another amazing week in Year 3! It is hard to believe we are nearly halfway through this term already.
