Maths Day!
Year 3 worked incredibly hard, making bowling pins with a mathematical theme. With various numbers on the bottom, the players needed to work out the total of the pins they knocked over to decide who the winner was.
We also worked really hard using compasses, measuring and symmetry to make decorations for the event. In the afternoon we all got together as a school to share our food, drinks and games.

In maths we have had an understanding week, revisiting our knowledge and skills that we have learnt or practised over the past 3 learning blocks. We worked as a team to crack a code, which enabled us to find the answers to Christmas jokes. We also applied our addition and subtraction skills to solve Christmas word problems and worked together using fractions to create a Christmas tree. | In Literacy this week we have been making connections with our IPC Society learning. We know that different societies around the world have different traditional stories called myths. These myths were told to explain how natural disasters happened. In order to share our learning we are going to make animations of 5 different myths. We are working in our table teams to create the illustrations and a background for our story. We had to re-write the myth in our own words, and thought about how to make it more interesting by including appropriate story language, adjectives and adverbs. We are very excited this project. |
Year 3
MathsIn Maths we have been learning about fractions. We found out what we already know about them before building on that knowledge. We now also know how to add fractions and we have started to look at equivalent fractions. | LiteracyWe have been learning about myths and legends around the world linking to weather. We read some myths from different countries and learnt about how people used to think about weather. We retold these myths in our own words and acted them out. We then re-wrote the story of Pele and made our own fantastic books, complete with illustrations. |
