Year 3 Maths

 Our new unit in maths is using models in addition and subtraction. We have been learning about bar modelling. Bar modelling is a really good way of helping us to understand the relative size of numbers. We have been using the cuisenaire to help tell our own maths stories.

Pirate Day

 As part of our literacy, we have been learning about pirates. We had a pirate day to get us into character. We dressed up and completed pirate missions and researched all about pirates from the past. We all had a brilliant day and luckily none of us were made to walk the plank!!!!

Remembrance Day 

As part of Remembrance Day, we made our own Poppy reefs for our doors. We used egg boxes and decorated them with paint and glitter.
