What a wonderful week we've had in Year 3! This week has been packed with exciting school trips, Children in Need fun and lots of fantastic learning. The children have shown great enthusiasm throughout the week and have loved taking part in all of our activities. We have enjoyed following Owain Wyn Evans' Children in Need challenge, tracking his journey and spotting when he travelled through Caerphilly Mountain. The children were excited to learn more about his challenge and cheer him on along the way!

In Language, we have been using our imaginations to create some fantastic setting descriptions. We have been including similes, metaphors, ambitious adjectives and sensory language to help our readers picture exactly where we are. The children's creativity has really shone through in their writing!

In Maths, we have been using the bar model method to help us unpack and solve subtraction word problems. We've become real Maths Detectives, searching for clues, identifying important information and choosing the correct calculations to solve each problem.

In Inquiry, we have enjoyed some exciting trips and have begun the "Going Further" stage of our inquiry. We are getting ready to organise our learning into Google Slides presentations about our visits and the religions we have been exploring. The children have made a fantastic start and are already creating some eye-catching and informative presentations.

In Welsh, we have been learning how to tell someone when our birthday is and have been practising asking and answering questions about birthdays in Welsh.

Da iawn, Year 3! We are very proud of all your hard work and enthusiasm this week.

Enjoy your weekend, and we look forward to seeing you all next week!
