It has been a fun week exploring Pompeii, the lost city and fractions! 

We have been sequencing the story of Escape From Pompeii and thinking about how it must have felt for those people as they felt the rumble of Vesuvius across the city. We have used fronted adverbials to explore the setting, imagining ourselves at the scene. The sound of ash falling amongst the rushing footsteps of the citizens as they run for cover. Next week, we will begin to explore features of a newspaper and think about how we can report the the eruption of Vesuvius as a newspaper reporter. 

In Maths, we are going to explore mass and capacity! Year 3 Mass and Capacity - YouTube This might help give you an idea of the styles of questions we may explore! Well done to those children using TTRS, I can really see a difference in your recall of tables! 

Our spellings this week are:

• closely
• gently
• basically
• happily
• cuddly 

Please continue the great work with he reading records. I am checking reading records on Mondays and Thursdays. Please ensure the children have their reading book and reading record each day. This will help when we ask them to read with adults and check their levels. If they do not have their books, I am unable to check their understanding of the text and assess their level. 

Have a lovely, long weekend!
