Week 1.

In our first week of the last half term in Year 3, we have begun an English unit on writing a narrative and developed our skills to tell the time. We have been working hard to get our handwriting ready for Year 4! Our art lessons are looking at the life and works of Vincent Van Gogh. We loved exploring some of his paintings and learning what inspired him to paint each one.
