The start of our Design and Technology project!
Have you ever thought your reusable shopping bag isn't quite fit for purpose? Do you think you could design one which would be strong as well as comfortable?
Year 3 are excited to share with you some of the wonderful learning they have been doing this term. Click on the posts below to find out more...

This week the children in Year 3 have been adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers from 3-digit numbers, estimating to the nearest tens or hundreds number and consolidating their learning through fluency card games and 'Flashback 4' activities.
In gymnastics this week, the children thoroughly enjoyed putting previous learning from Autumn 1 into partner and group routines. They chose a selection of gymnastics shapes such as: the star shape, straight shape or tuck shape and linked the chosen shapes together using a range of travelling steps.



Having learnt and practised the individual reading roles as a class last term, the children moved on to working in individual groups with each child responsible for carrying out one of the following roles:
-Boss
-Predictor
-Questioner
-Summariser
-Clarifier

What a fantastic end to a brilliant term!
To celebrate Black History, Year 3 have been finding out all about the extraordinary life of Katherine Johnson.
The children have been really busy this week!
Reasoning, Reading and Rocks
Year 3 have been immersing themselves in the Stone Age and rocks.
What a wonderful start to the Autumn term!
This week, the children have had a super time, developing their geometry skills in maths, using their thinking skills in philosophy and ending the week with Sports Day!
This week in maths we have been learning about angles, turns and direction in our geometry topic. The children enjoyed writing turn problems for their talk partners to solve and using right-angle finders to identify all of the right angles in the classroom!
We practised our reading and comprehension skills through reciprocal reading. It is great to see the children becoming so confident with their reading roles!
This week, we read on in our core text Podkin One-Ear and had a lot of fun creating freeze frames to show a poignant moment of discovery in the story!
The children have had an exciting week in school and have worked very hard in all of their lessons.
