Term 2 – Week 4
Another week has flown by in year 3/4…
English
This week we have been busy writing an extra chapter for the book we have just read in our English lessons. The Last Viking is a story about Ragnar, the last Viking! At the end of the book, he is given a second chance by Symeon – to become a monk and avoid capture and punishment as the only Viking left at the end of the Viking age. We worked hard to ensure our writing was exceptional and wouldn’t look a miss if it was published in the book.
Maths
In maths we have been learning to multiply and divide by 10 and 100.
Check out your sumdog homework this week for a chance to practice more maths!
Science
In science this term, we have been learning about forces and magnets. This week we were investigating how magnets can attract magnetic materials and use this to make something move…

She explained that if a friend is making us feel upset or acting in a way we don’t like, we can take the following steps to resolve things:
- Stop – ask the person firmly to stop the unwanted behaviour
- Walk – if the behaviour continues then walk away calmly
- Talk – if it still continues then talk to an adult

In English, this meant that we thought about how to share our writing by ‘performing’ our stories. First to our learning partners and then to the rest of the class…
