We have come to the end of our Ancient Egypt project and hope you enjoyed seeing all of the wonderful learning the children in year 3 have been doing over the course of this term, when you visited on Family Friday.
As well as pooling all of the skills they have learned in English to create their Writing Showcase pieces, the non-chronological reports about the symbols and importance behind animals in ancient Egypt have been an achievement for children across the year group. Creating accompanying, detailed and careful watercolour paintings has also been a highlight of the week – and we think they look fabulous!
We do not have maths sheets from this week, but encourage children to work on their times tables and practice with < > = (e.g. 564 < 689) and number line work (see link for online game). Here is also a summary of activities that can be used to support children’s grammar learning at home: Grammar Activities.
