This week in Year 3, we have been working extremely hard and enjoying the following activities:

Maths – We have focused on the following objectives:

• Fraction investigation – Is it less than a half, the same as a half or more than a half?
  • • Equivalent fraction problems
    • Finding fractions of number

• English – We have finished our explanation topic on the LEGO story. Children have written an explanation text which explains the history of LEGO.
• Geography – We used co-ordinates to navigate around a map and used the vocabulary of latitude and longitude.
