BHS COMMUNITY CHOIR

All children need a hat for break, lunch times and PE lessons. Please ensure they are clearly labelled. NO HAT, NO PLAY!

Please remember that we have a no nut policy at BHS due to some children having severe allergies. This includes peanut butter sandwiches and nuts in cookies or cakes.

The children have been preparing for the end of our first unit in Year 3. They completed their summative assessment with a Year 6 buddy. For their assessment they created their own codes and a question that their buddy had to crack their code and answer the question. The children also communicated through The Arts by using mime. They have also been working on directional and positional language and have all constructed their own personal maps, with a detailed key and symbols to represent all the places on their map.

Next week we will begin our new unit, the children will be inquiring into forces. We will be unpacking the central idea for this new unit over the next couple of weeks. There will be lots of fun and exciting science themed tuning in activities to get the children thinking.

 Next week the children will begin inquiring into addition and subtraction. They will be using their prior knowledge from Y2 and making connections to what they have just learnt in our Place Value unit too.
Addition and subtraction are related and are used to solve problems. 
The children will inquire into:
  • How we use addition and subtraction to solve problems.
  • The strategies we use for addition and subtraction.
  • The relationship between addition and subtraction.
  • Odd and Even numbers.

Next week the children will begin looking at the features of a procedure. They will be having a go at writing some of their own silly instructions. You may be asked to follow some of their instructions at home next week.
