Hello,

We hope you have all had a wonderful week.

Today, Year 3 took part in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) day. This enabled the children to take part in practical, cross-curricular learning and collaborate as part of a team. In particular, the children enjoyed investigating the strength and permeability of different types of rock that could be used for a Stone Age play house. During the afternoon, the children continued their learning of Rocks and Minerals by creating their own bubbling volcanoes in class! Please see the photo below:

In English, the children have been learning about some of the key components required for their spooky stories: a terrifying monster and a creepy setting! Through videos, sound clips and sugar paper activities, both classes have created an impressive bank of adjectives and verbs to describe the main characters of the story and how they shall move / sound. Well done Year 3!

In Maths, Year 3 have looked at multiplication as well as the different representations that may be used for such number sentences. The children have shown true commitment when solving a range of tricky word problems involving arrays and number line work. Next week, we look forward to learning about using related number facts as we move on to our learning of division facts.

We hope you all have a great weekend,

Miss Honeywell, Mrs Luter and Mrs Sumba.
