Test

Today we started our drawing unit by looking at the artist Vincent Van Gogh. We found out he was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter.

Year 3 have made a great start to their Maths learning this year! They revisited their learning from Year 2 and used Base 10 and arrow cards to recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number.

Mrs Phillips’ group have moved onto division! They have been working with concrete resources to use sharing as a method to divide one number by another.

Today, Year 3 have been using sharing to help them work out the fraction of an amount.

Year 3 have had a brilliant Maths day! First, they completed the Ultimate Times Tables Challenge to prepare for battle of the bands on TT Rockstars. Then, we spent the rest of the day focusing on our Statistics unit. The children gathered their own data and presented it in tables, pictograms and bar charts.

Today, the children published their writing, retelling A Whale’s Tale. This is a story about the harm plastic pollution can do to our oceans and the wildlife that inhabit it.

Today and yesterday, Mrs Phillips’ group have been using arrays to help them work out multiplication calculations.

In Big Write, we drafted a retelling of A Whale’s Tale, a tale about plastic pollution and the affect it has on the ocean and the animals who live there.

We started our new Science unit on Rocks and Fossils by having a look at some real fossils that Gabriel kindly brought in for us!
