In Science and Geography, we have started our new topics: Forces and Magnets, and Deserts. In Geography, we have investigated what a desert is! We looked at lots of different activities to help us define and locate deserts around the world. In Maths, we have been continuing our work on fractions, looking at finding fractions of amounts and equivalent fractions. We were lucky enough to have some Smarties and Chocolate Buttons to help us with this too. We hope everyone had a lovely Easter break, it was wonderful to see so many happy smiley faces on Monday morning. Well done to all the children who have been coming in smartly in their school uniforms too. Homework will be back on this weekend, with MyMaths, EdShed, GoRead and Times Tables Rockstar. We look forward to seeing it! ### Year 3 Highlights 29/04/22 [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/31.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/31.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/32.png)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/32.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/33.png)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/33.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/34.png)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-3-highlights-29-04-22/34.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/44(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-04-08-year-4-highlights) Previous ### [Year 4 Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-04-08-year-4-highlights) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/n2.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-04-28-nursery-highlights) Next ### [Nursery Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-04-28-nursery-highlights) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
