ARCHIVED Year 3 Blog 2024/25

 This week, Year 3 have been working with 3-digit numbers. We have counted in hundreds, partitioned numbers into 'Hundreds', 'Tens' and 'Ones' and even flexibly partitioned into varying parts.  We have been impressed with how well Year 3 have worked when representing 3-digit numbers in a wide range of ways, including Base 10 Blocks, Part-Whole Models, drawings and sums.

 This week year 3 were introduced to basic greetings. They sang a song and greeted each other. They then wrote the English meaning of the new vocabulary.

  This week, Year 3 have begun a creative learning journey all about The Barnabus Project. We started by putting ourselves in Barnabus’ shoes and thinking about how he is feeling. Afterwards, we started to think about what our ideas of a perfect pet would be.                                                           

This week, Year 3s were welcomed to KS2 History! First things first, we made sure that we understood what historians mean by 'BC' or 'BCE' and 'AD'. To help us to understand, we all made timelines representing events before and after we were born: Next, we thought about some things in History that we know about. Are they 'BC' or 'AD'? Where do they belong on a timeline? Next week, we will begin a brand new unit of learning: Prehistoric Britain!

In maths this week, Year 3 have been representing and partitioning 2-digit numbers, making sure that our understanding of Place Value is secure and ready to build on in Year 3 and beyond! Please see below for pictures.
