What are we up to this half term?

In English, we are reading 'Romans on the Rampage' written by Jeremy Strong. We are using our knowledge from our History lessons to produce a fantastic diary entry, exploring life in Ancient Rome.

To support our learning about the Roman Empire, we will take part in a Roman Gladiator Workshop taking place in school on October 7th.

This half term we will also have the priveldge of taking part in a dance project.

Reading

Reading is important and we encourage the children to read as often as possible. It is clear that the children in Year 3 have a real enthusiasm for reading, as they thoroughly enjoy reading the books in our class book nook and reading with friends during play time. Thank you to all of our parents and carers for supporting your children at home with their reading and sharing this on Learning with Parents.
