Year 3/4 Blogpost 04.03.23

Dear Parents,

Wow! What an exciting week here at Down Hall. The Year 3/4 children have been learning all about fractions in Maths. It is great to see our times table programme having an impact on our children's experiences. In English, the children have very much enjoyed the beginning of our unit on Playscripts. We are basing our writing on the movie, Zootropolis. 

World Book Day - Thursday 4th March

Yesterday we celebrated World Book Day at Down Hall! Our aim, as teachers, was to promote a love of reading and it was so lovely to see the children to bring in their favourite book to share in class with each other. It was also fantastic to see children and staff dressing up. Miss Trunchbull AKA Mr Greenfield certainly caused a stir!

Whole School Trip to Barleylands
This week your child will have brought home a letter regarding our whole school trip to Barleylands on Monday 27th March. Please ensure that you have completed the reply slip and returned this to school by Friday 17th March.
