Good morning Year 3!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend?  What did you get up to? I can't believe it, but this is your last week of online learning before the Summer holidays! 

Although I didn't get as long as I hoped with you, I have absolutely loved having you all in my class this year.  It has been a pleasure to watch you grow and mature academically and socially, and show me what amazing, kind hearted children you all are.  I can't wait see you all in September, where you will officially be Year 4s! Please come and say hi to me every now and then, I'm only a classroom away!

Have a lovely Summer Year 3, thank you for all of your hard work, you really have been absolute superstars!

Miss Bass

Week commencing 23rd March 2020

Writing

Write a discussion piece of writing in answer the question Should Robin Hood have stolen from the rich? 
Remember, a discussion piece of writing weighs us both sides of an argument equally.  
You should begin to plan this discussion through researching both sides of the argument and thinking about how Robin stealing from the rich was a good thing, and how it might have not been such a good thing, and the impact it had.
 

Success criteria:

• Introductory paragraph to introduce the argument
• Equally balanced argument
• Detailed reasons to back up argument
• Conjunctions
• Paragraphs
• Interesting sentence starters

Looking forward to reading your discussion pieces! Having practised our typing skills in computing, please type up your discussion and send by Friday 3rd April 2020 to the email: tickhillhansby@gmail.com
