This week they were met with a huge surprise when the classroom chairs went on strike- the perfect hook for our new literacy topic on writing letters of complaint!

In curriculum, Year 3 have been learning about locating European countries using the 8 compass points. We used maps to help us locate the position of countries in comparison to other countries in Europe. In computing, Year 3 have been learning about digital devices and exploring what each digital device can and cannot do. For example, a camera helps us to take picture and videos to create memories and a laptop helps us to write stories, draw and play games.
