Practical Maths
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week in Maths we have been looking at addition across 10s and 100s. It has been quite a tricky concept to understand but the children have all shown great resilience and it has been wonderful to see those lightbulb moments! We have been using Base 10 in class to help us which is always available for the children to access for support. We need to keep practising counting in 10s across 10 and 100 so any extra work on this at home would be brilliant e.g. 88, 98, 108, 118, 128 etc.
Appreciating Art
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
We have been exploring the work of Alice Kettle and Hannah Rae in our recent art lessons. The children are working towards creating their own piece of art work that incorporates paint with a little element of sewing to provide texture to their work. We discussed which pieces we liked and disliked to help inform our design 
Ball skills

In PE, we have been practising different ball skills using our hands and feet. It was lovely to see the sunshine today after a few days of heavy rain!
School Council

We received quite a few manifestoes for our School Council elections which was wonderful! Thank you to all of you who helped their child with this. The children held their election last week so meet our new reps for 2023-24!
Character Drama
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This week we have been continuing with our class read ‘The Last Bear’ which we have been using in our sentence stacking lessons in English. To help us with our writing, we carried out some drama based on the character’s feelings. We created a ‘thought alley’ where the children whispered positive and negative thoughts into the character’s ears to help her come to a decision in the story.
