Stones and Bones
We’ve already learnt a lot about the Stone Age. We will be looking at where the Stone Age fits on a timeline as well as becoming stone detectives, closely looking at stones and describing them using scientific vocabulary.
My Maths!
We are pleased to announce that we will now be using My Maths for our weekly maths homework. This is an online maths program that means you can access the homework from your own computer or tablet. Each activity can be tried as many times as you want to improve your score and there are online tutorials if you need extra help. Last week you took home your special login codes to have a go at your first My Maths activity. Please speak to your class teacher as soon as possible if you have any trouble accessing My Maths at home.

Make sure you hand your slip in on Monday morning to be entered into the prize draw to win a book in assembly on Monday afternoons. Let’s see if all 4 classes in Year 3 and 4 can reach Mrs Ashford’s target of 75% taking part in the challenge. WE CAN DO IT YEAR 3 AND 4!!!
