Fitness fun!

This week we have enjoyed building up our fitness in PE and our first swimming session. In maths, we have also been using place value counters to represent numbers to 1000.
Welcome to Year 3!

Our first full week has been busy with lots of learning. We are enjoying finding out about the explorer Ernest Shackleton and have been working with base 10 to represent and partition numbers up to 1000. It has been great to see all the children being back with their friends and starting their learning journey in key stage 2.
End of an Era
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
Well the end of Year 3 is here! Its been hot and busy as usual, with modroc sculptures, Greek temples and a music quiz, to name just a few things. The children rounded off their working week with a performance of We Are Greek for the Year 4s (if you can get them to perform it at home, you're in for a treat!)
Only Games Day left and then its on to Year 4! Thank you for a fab year of hard work and lots of laughs, Year 3! We will miss you all! And thank you to all the parents for your generous gifts - you are so kind. Have a wonderful summer!
Penultimate Week
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
How have we reached the penultimate week already?! The children have worked really hard this week in the heat, trying to get to the end of the curriculum before the holidays! They have been revising and learning more about shapes and statistics in maths and putting the finishing touches to their souvlaki recipes in writing, as well as composing in music, setting up an investigation in science and of course, completing their Medusa sculptures in art! a multi-talented bunch!
Plant Power!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
The children have had a great half term of learning about plants, from their parts to pollination and seed dispersal. Their vocabulary is super and they managed to put all their learning to good effect this afternoon with group presentations to the class about the life cycle of a plant. They spoke loudly and clearly about the various stages, with Logan, Mia and Daniel particularly plant-tastic! Well done, all!
