In Maths have been improving our addition methods, looking particularly at the column method. We have gone on to solve missing number problems. Some of us have even managed to move on to adding six digit numbers!
This week also saw the introduction of our new topic; "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words". The children have been asking some fantastic questions as we explored images for our work in History and Literacy. Some of the images we have used so far can be seen below.
Our new Science topic has also started. Children have been learning about the properties of solids, liquids and gases and have classified objects according to these properties. We have even practiced behaving like particles of solids, liquids and gases in the playground! Some fantastic questions have been raised, particularly with regard to those items that have properties of more than one state.
In P.E., we have started learning the skills needed for Handball. We have particularly enjoyed developing our passing and dribbling techniques. We hope to be able to bring you some photos and news from the Year 3's Handball Festival next week.
Thank you to those of you who kindly brought in photos. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing them with their friends and teachers and have each made a timeline to aid in their autobiographical writing. We can't wait to see what the children produce!
