WILLOW CLASS

March 28th, 2025

Year 3/4 Willow - A Busy Week of Learning and Creativity!
This week in Year 3/4 Willow, we’ve had another action-packed few days filled with hands-on activities, creativity, and teamwork. 
DT: Building Anglo-Saxon Houses
On Friday afternoon, the children had the chance to learn some fantastic new skills in Design and Technology (DT). They’ve been working hard to create their own Anglo-Saxon houses, and this week, they tackled some tricky tasks, including measuring, cutting with a saw and bench hook, using hot glue guns, and hammering nails into wood. Throughout the session, the children listened carefully to instructions, which helped them stay focused and complete each step successfully. It was a busy afternoon, but their ability to listen and follow directions made all the difference. By the end of the session, each child had made the roof, sides, and frame of their house, and next week, we’ll be putting everything together to complete their projects. We’re looking forward to seeing the finished results! A big thank you to all the wonderful parent helpers who came in to support us; we truly couldn’t have done it without you!
Writing Brochures on Anglo-Saxon Life
In our English lessons, the children have been learning about persuasive writing and using these skills to create brochures about Anglo-Saxon life. They’ve been exploring the features of persuasive writing, such as using exciting language, rhetorical questions, and facts to encourage the reader to learn more. Throughout this process, the children listened carefully to feedback from their peers and teachers, which helped them improve their writing. They’ve worked hard to make their brochures both informative and persuasive, and we can’t wait to see the final drafts!
Maths: Exploring Fractions and More
In maths this week, Year 3/4 Willow has been busy learning all about fractions. The children have been developing their understanding of fractions by working on identifying, comparing, and simplifying fractions. They’ve been practising how to represent fractions visually using fraction walls and pie charts, which has really helped them grasp the concept of parts of a whole. As always, the children have been great listeners, carefully following instructions during problem-solving activities and discussions. We’ve also been exploring how to add and subtract simple fractions with the same denominator, and next week, we’ll move on to learning about fractions of amounts. It’s been fantastic to see the children building their confidence with fractions, and we’re excited to continue exploring this important area of maths. Alongside this, we’ve been revising place value, multiplication and division, and problem-solving, ensuring that all areas of the curriculum are being covered. The children are really progressing well, and their ability to listen attentively has been key to their success.
Another wonderful week in Year 3/4 Willow, with lots of learning, creativity, and fun. Thank you to everyone for your continued support!
Looking ahead, we’re excited to see how our Anglo-Saxon houses come together, and we’re already planning more hands-on activities for next week. Stay tuned!
